Sam Pittman will have team choose leaders on weekly basis
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — While most teams around the country post graphics to promote their respective team captains, Arkansas coach Sam Pittman has chosen to go a different direction.
Pittman tends to reference Kirby Smart's Georgia program since he spent time as an assistant with the Bulldogs during its rise to national scene. He will likely go by the way of rotating team captains game-by-game due to the leadership he believes the Razorbacks have this season. "I think that we have too many captain-like guys on our team right now to get to four. I think let's let them play a little bit. Let's see them in the adversity. Let's see who really is the leaders on a Saturday afternoon. Again, we have what, 39 new guys. So I just thought that it would be kind of cool if at the end of the year, if you had 48 guys, or you had 36 guys that represented the team.
