Eric Mateos outpaces Bobby Petrino into direct impact on whether Hogs' staff gets another year
DALLAS — Coach Sam Pittman acknowledged he is on the hot seat at SEC Media Days Thursday. Heading into a critical fifth season, Pittman acknowledged the immediacy of his problems.Pittman's fate may already be sealed. It's not his hire of Bobby Petrino that will make or break his offense and likely his tenure.
He takes over a much-maligned group that allowed 4.2 sacks per game, good for third worst in the nation. Pittman openly admitted that there was a talent issue along the offensive line last year. Incoming transfers Fernando Carmona Jr. and Addison Nichols were also mentioned by name. Patrick Kutas moving inside from tackle to guard could be considered a psuedo-transfer in itself.
Mateos also was singled out for his ability to recognize the intangibles and getting the most out of his players.
