Arkansas Razorbacks' Sam Pittman, Colorado Buffaloes' Deion Sanders have different styles, yet they mirror each other
Both are enjoying some success this season, but crave more. Their teams have the potential to achieve it, despite the experts who say otherwise.
We'll call them Simple Sam and Neon Deion, one of his many nicknames dating back to his playing days in the previous century. You know them as Sam Pittman, coach of Arkansas, and Deion Sanders, the Colorado coach. Colorado started 3-0 a year ago in his first season, but fell off the cliff and finished 4-8, last in the Pac-12 at 1-8. The Buffaloes slinked back to the Big 12 this season, where they are 4-2, 2-1.

Well, they recruited well with a handful of freshmen and especially through the transfer portal. Plus, the players like Pittman.
Also, if he wins one more game this season, he'll be guaranteed a buyout of 75% of the $16.5 million left on his contract over the next three years. That's not chump change for the UA to pay out.
