Hey Trey hard for You to keep that smile off Your face.
Me to !!
Hey Trey, we want the line to be the strongest, not necessarily the largest, gotta have decent size, but to fat and slow will hurt as much as too small and weak
We got our guy. Passionate, loves the program. 5 wins with this schedule I'm good with that sentence lol
“If your scared of this job, this job ain’t for you!!!” Love that Tre! Great quote!!!!!
We need to be positive and give this man time as long as he shows improvement witch can’t be to damn hard to do but we need to back our coach because I know he will have the players support
Trey, this will forever remain such an incredible take. Love what you do, brother, and can't wait to see each Walk and Talk this season. #WPS
That's exactly why his players play so hard for him, they hate to disappoint him.
Great to see you smiling again Trey! And hey, I am loving Hawgsports.com. As a long time fan and alumni who no longer lives in Arkansas, it's all I need to stay in touch with the Hogs. Thanks!
I had no individual in mind who I wanted to be the next head coach. I did have one coach that I wanted to return to the hill. That was Sam Pittman. I had hoped that the new coach would hire Sam Pittman to be on his staff. Never thought he would be the head coach. I could not be happier with the hire.
Awesome to see passion in a coach
Sam Pittman I believe will be a great head coach
In two years, 8-4, 3 top 25 wins, all the rivalry trophies, we owned the Texas schools, beat LSU in death valley, almost beat Alabama, awesome bowl coming, and a excellent chance to win 9 games, plus top 25 most of the year. They knocked it out the park with Pittman.
I couldn't agree more, as we're just days away from what may be an incredible Top-25 win over Cincinnati to kickoff a tremendous 2022 season. #WPS
This guy will do what Kirby Smart and Ed Orgeron have done and great view of the area Trey.
Mr. Pittman is a much better hire than the guy that was hired to be the Mississippi head coach. Good move by the Razorback Athletic Director.
Love this hire Trey and I myself was tearing up when Pittman spoke. I believe we got the coach we need to elevate this program and put Razorback football back on the map. Good stuff Trey love your content! Go Hogs! YESSIIIRRR!!!
Glad to see a smile and some pep in your step ! Love your videos! GO HOGS
Trey it’s refreshing to see you upbeat! It’s been a rough couple of years
you couldn't wipe that smile off your face if you tried :)
I feel like we hired one of “us” today. This man win, lose, or draw is a Razorback.
“They didn’t choose me but I sure as hell choose them.”

(On meeting his team last night)
Arkansas has enough talent to be at least a 500 program over the last 2 years. I know they do, this is not an untalented football team. There was no direction, there was no solid figure head pointing everyone in the same direction. It was just chaos, from loud music at practice to I don't know what the hell on special teams, to a defensive coordinator who just basically refused to recruit. This was like the real life version of the movie major league. Sam Pittman will change all of that. I absolutely love the man. I wish I was 30 years younger and had more talent I would be ready to suit up today. Bottom line lane Kiffin is the cool uncle who is gone at the first hint of trouble, Sam Pittman is the uncle who loves you truelly cares for you, wants to see you do your best. And would take and raise you as his own son if your parents died. And the young men who play for him know that. I said all of that, to say this. Sam Pittman gets the best young recruits because he cares for them, it's not a job for him. It's who he truelly is, and the young men know it, and will fight tooth and nail for him.
Aaron Lovell that’s the comment I was looking for everyone saying they will be happy if we win three games next year really happy if they pull of 4 or maybe even 5. No no no. This team should pull out at least 5 wins. Like you said that was bc of the coaching we still have most of the same players and at that a year better players. The coaching was pitiful and there is no reason why we should look at anything less than 5 wins. We do not roll over to these mid division schools bc we made a bad hire. He will get it done. I don’t think he’s the greatest coach but I believe the guys will think he is and go to war for him
Lol calm down, Arkansas recruiting rankings is below 100th, that's not good enough talent to win 6 or 7 games in any conference except for maybe the ACC.
Dwayne Haskins who said it was
@@cojack5941 yall have to hold on to the 6 win part it's a tough schedule next year 4 or 5 will be more probable
The main thing is them competing at a higher level n that will be the most that will change
I don’t know much about Pittman but, I like him the more I read and especially after the presser. I’m excited to see where we can go...WPS!!! ( and it feels good to say that again!)
We didn’t even know what we had in store in basketball or football while watching this. Arkansas fans should be so grateful. We have a lot to root for now. It’s good to be a Hog!
Good to see your walk and talk having a upbeat tone. Love the hire and the passion he has. Well done young man.
Love the hire, need the enthusiasm
It's so fun to come and watch this in hindsight, as we're now just a few days out from Cincinnati @ Arkansas to kickoff the 2022 season. #WPS
A happy upbeat "Walk-N-Talk." Thanks Trey. Trey Biddy's "Walk-N-Talk" the Coach Pittman era begins. Very excited about the hire. Arkansas needed an Arkansas guy like Coach Pittman and God made Coach Pittman in a Razorback mold. I understand there are many factors that go into a winning program and one press conference does not win a championship but Coach Pittman has the "IT" factor for Arkansas. Coach Broyles had it, Coach Nutt had it and Coach Pittman has it. Coach Pittman will fight like a wild Hog for this Razorback team and so will his players. I understand next year will be a rough first year, but overall, I feel it's going to be an fun ride with Coach Pittman and the Razorback teams he puts on the field. GO HOG'S!!!!
Looking back, I feel like you had access to a crystal ball! Still gives me chills.
TB this is the first time I’ve seen you smile in quite A WHILE
He's an Arkansas Coach O. Orgeron had experience as a head coach, but none of it was successful. We need to be able to get athletes in here that can make him successful like Orgeron.
He was successful at USC
Nice to see a smile after so long. I believe that Sam Pittman is home now. He could very well be the next....greatest Head Hog. Hopefully Sam will give us plenty more reasons to smile about our Hogs going forward. Thanks for everything Trey.
Too soon to tell of course ; but I get a bit of a Bear Bryant\Frank Broyles ole school vibe from him. That's sayin' way too much, but............?
@@brettrobinson2901 8-4, top 25 most of the season, all the rivalries won, first time ever, played Bama so close they were actually worried, good bowl game coming, KJ looking like the second coming of Cam, Treylon Burks best receiver in college, 200 yards plus a game rushing, led the SEC in interceptions for the second straight year. Yeah, Pittman was the right choice.
Oh, Trey Biddy bam a lam Oh Trey Biddy bam a lam. Love those walk throughs!!
Hell, I caught myself tearing up a few times. I think he is just what we need. Honesty will go a long ways with the people of AR. IMHO.
WPS
I've been waiting for your walk and talk! I knew you'd be excited about this hire. Any true razorback fan knows what he did with the o-line under beliema and that has lacked since he left. Eventually, this team will be tough, gritty, and hard-nosed. I'm hoping 4 wins next year, way too early but I hope the sec losing streak ends.
P.S.: Good bye search stache lol
You took a lot of words right out of my mouth. WPS
That's not Trey. That guy has a smile on his face and a skip in his step. Gotta love the Pittman hire.
Trey's daughter approves of this walk & talk
They way his face lit up when it was your turn to ask a question at his presser says a lot about about where you are in this arkansas media market and in Arkansas athletics. That man will either win here or fall on a sword trying l. That hasn't happened since Houston Nutt and it feels awesome.
Loved your coverage of the whole process man!
Good to see you smiling again, Trey
Great to have a coach that has the same passion for the Razorbacks as the fans.
I did not realize that he grew up a Hog fan. That truly makes a difference. He will do his best to make this a winning program again.
One month later, Pittboss put together a staff that will send shockwaves across the SEC. We just landed one of the best coaching classes in the SEC. Next year players. Year 3 were gonna turn some heads
Biddy comes through!
Pittman for the win!
GO HOGS!
I'm on board with putting heart, "loyalty, discipline and toughness" back in the program. If you're happy I'm happy, you know what's going on.
His familiarity with how an elite SEC program runs will be helpful. Good hires and let them get to it, the Coach O way.
His task isn't that big in all honesty..Any decent start to finish coaching staff should have had this team at 6-6..Good hire though and refreshing to see emotion in a coach and not just rehearsed " coach speak"..
Hey Trey B. I know a lot of ppl are not behind his hire. Pittman is a great football mind and humble enough to accept he needs help. We just landed a great DC in Odim, and the man was smart enough to keep one of the best Wr coaches in the sec. What he lacks in experience he makes up in connections. Best H.C.? maybe not, but he'll put together a staff that will send shockwaves across the SEC
Jason Robinson hey Jason, I actually think a lot of
Ppl are behind the hire
Getting yours players to fight for you is half the battle.....chad never got that.......we are on the road to recovery..WPS!
I can’t help but like him
Was most definitely not expecting a walk, and talk for this lol
As an LSU fan in NWA,I do hope this is a good hire. A winning program is good for everybody.Too many reasons to explain here.Just don't get too good.
Haha! We Comin for that BOOT!
This Hog fan will be cheering for LSU to win the National Championship and Burrow for HEISMAN!
As a Hog fan living in BR, it was miserable but prideful walking in Death Valley. Competition is always good, coach O has maintained. Best of luck in the playoffs 👍
@@joshcollins8727 I give LSU one more year of running roughshod over UA and then look out.The Hogs may be back.
@@joshcollins8727 Thank You
It's ok to be a homer......especially when it comes to Pittman. Today felt good knowing he's our new coach.
I wish success for Pittman and the Hogs. Never heard of this man. I am glad Pittman wanted to come to Arkansas. Wait and see what happens after this hype cast.
If you're worried about what your buyout is ,means you already plan on failing ,i like that
CRIED IN THE PRESSER
I like the Sam Pittman hire. Whether or not he is the man who can win a conference championship, I don't know. But I think he is the man who can rebuild the football program.
DON'T know that I should...........but I really, really, really, like the HELL outta this Sam Pittman hire! Gotta lust for life, down home vibe to 'im.
I think Sam Pittman will be great. He's no high school coach (like Chad Morris; and he was no liar; that's exactly what we got).
I don't care if Pittman's first two years are 2-10. GIVE HIM 3 YEARS MINIMUM!
With this guy...hell yeah.
How about 8-4 in year 2 😀
Thanks Trey
Thanks Trey
👑
Poor barry though,you know he wanted that job so bad,but at least he will probably have a 99 percent chance to stay on the staff from what sam says
New Beginnings, Back to Basics! WPS!!
I'm just glad to see Morris go...they shouldve fired him after san jose st!
Hey trey you da man bro I love Sam I was on the lane train but I am glad it worked out like it did I wish them the best and even though I can’t stand malzon and hope him and chad the best who knows in this day and time it’s ok to come out of the closet for them go hogs
Big offensive lines are great, but they also need quick feet.
His lines are always good
Don't lie to Trey, he don't like it😤😤😤😤
Keep him as long as he doesn't get blown out by teams like north texas and wku.
Hey guys...
1 Year Later: He ballin
This aged well..
Great to see ya smile for once woo 🐷
Wassup everybody!
5-8-10 our future 5 wins 8 wins 10 wins
You need to play the lottery my friend.
You look all giggity lol
Big Positive- No Buyouts.
Sup Trey.
Sam will return the Razorbacks to Greatness. GO HOGS !!!!
WOO PIG SOOIE !!!!!!
Devin Bush has withdrawn his name from the transfer portal. There's one recruit
Worst case scenario we will not be a laughing stock the way we have been. Best case scenario we will win 8 games within the first three seasons
I like the coach who wins: Coach Petrino, Coach Nutt, Coach Hatfield, Coach Holtz, Coach Broyls etc. No press conference will tell me that. Winning will. While I have hoped for the best, Arkansas has been in the cellar since AD Jeff Long fired our winning Coach Petrino 7 1/2 yrs ago. Will we ever rise from the absolute bottom of the 14 team SEC to be where we once were? 7 years of losing have convinced me hope is futile.
It remains to be seen by what this is about, and all of the B.S. that the Razorback Football is all about. I rather see either Lou Holtz or Ken Hatfield, or Danny Ford, but I have this feeling that it will only last a year and a half, since there is a history of what Arkansas Athletic Director department has made poor decisions for the past 5 decades, and then there is the possibility of the money that is paid for head coaches, and yet the tuition goes up for each hiring of a Football coach. How about decreasing the cost of tuition first, and stop making poor decisions in the Razorback Athletic Director Department, and paying head coaches more than a regular fan can afford to pay for the insane tickets, and start using the stadium in the off season for outdoor activities and concerts to help reduce the price of the tickets come Football season, and reduce the cost of tuition due to outdoor activities and concerts in the off season? Maybe then it can help with all of those stupidity of the buyouts of head coaching staff costs.
I hope he is a field coach that will get out there and physically show the players how to do what he wants, where to place their hands, etc, etc.???? Is he a field coach?
He is probably the best line coach ever. He shows players how and what to do. He inspires them and gains their respect. His players hate to disappoint him so they fight for him. And his lines have always had an attitude which has been missing
@@setharmstrong3634 Good, we need a coach that will actually get out there and show the players what to do, foot work, movement, and so forth. Good to hear, thanks for replying!
Does Auburn hiring Chad mean that Arkansas is off the hook for his buyout?
It is hard to put into words what happened this past season. It was terrible and real football fans could see right through what was going on. Outsiders cannot see it.
Great video!! It’s like chad operated in some strange sort of vacuum like he was gonna fly in and work a 2-3 days a week like he was a rock star or something! Just don’t work that way. It’s like he was some sort of robot almost. Like a cyborg. Makes me ill just picturing him. What a horrible experiment. Shows you what can happen when you have jerry jones telling a vulnerable female intern what to do.
when sam pittman retires, rhett lashlee will be ready to take over the program.
Woo pig sooie
I have watched and listened to you for a good while now Trey. But I've never responded til now, mostly because I dodge attention and crazies. Anyway, It is nice to see you trying to fight off a smile and lose. Haha. Anyway, #WPS. I sure hope this works out. I admit that I have not watched a hog FB game (but all other sports) since the end of the 2017 season bc I was embarrassed at how the state acted..calling people names like fat, and yankees, and intentionally by wrong pronunciations. Of their names. Many earned the pain from the last 2 years over that. We will see where this goes.
Now, will Razorback fans give him longer than 7 hours to turn things around??
Now he should get houston nutt as special teams coach. 😜
arkansas will never hire barry lunney as head coach.thank god.
I like how everybody pretends Pittman was the #1 choice.
No more porn stache!
What's wrong with a stache?
Not a thing it just looked like it was gone
Sorry Trey, your comment on the Pittman/ Skipper connection speaks volumes to me. The recruits brought in by Pittman allowed the most sacks in Arkansas history. Shipper was big and slow and his position allowed the most sacks of all. The SEC made a fool out of Skipper, Bielema and Pittman with their big fat and slow philosophy. The first thing Morris did was put the team on a weight lose program. This "may" be the reason the team did not like Morris. The little piggies went wee wee wee all the way home.
Um, no Randy. You're forgetting about Kurt Anderson, who was the worst OL coach I have ever seen come through here. Your memory is wrong on this. So Pittman is here with Skipper and the guys he brought in and played as true freshmen and allowed 8.0 sacks his first year to lead the SEC, 14.0 the next year to lead the SEC and 14.0 the year after that to lead the SEC. All three years Pittman was at Arkansas they led the SEC in fewest sacks allowed. Pittman leaves and they allow 35.0 sacks in one season under Anderson playing musical chairs, and you say it's all Pittman's fault? I don't see how you make that leap. Really odd take Randy.
I am stunned at the horrible hire and delusion coming from all areas of the State! Best of luck! Nothing will change!
If you can’t handle the bad times of a program, you don’t deserve the good times of it.
This didn't age well at all.
SAM PITTMAN! CANT BELIEVE WE GOT HIM ! NOT! THIS DUDE HAS NO DAMN EXPERIENCE
2 wins next year
jay dub get a hobby
jay dub he is the number 3 recruiter in the nation. They surround themselves with others that have SEC experience.. and with better recruits you have to remember it’s 85% Jimmy’s and Joe’s not X’s and O’s
Ok can I say something real quick? If you can’t handle the bad times of a favorite program. You don’t deserve to handle the good times.
Ethan1123Ac worst hire ever
UofA Razorbacks Fan we don’t have that either
If you think this hire is better than Ole Miss getting Lane you know anything about football. Hunter is going to leave the first time the AD job at another good AD jobs opens. Hunter had Lane and BOT put a knife in his back. Arkansas Media by the BOT put a hit piece on Lane and in the.Sunday paper did it agsin to Hunter.
Horrible hire
I don't get it we fire bielma because his style won't win in the sec. Then we basically just gave chad morris one year with his class because of the fan base impatients even though this is a 3-4 year rebuild. Then we hire Sam Pittman who coach under beilma an this is his first head coaching job. This is the exact reason why top coaches won't come here. The only thing we're building is debt
I won't say horrible hire but definitely a bit of a head scratcher considering.the jeopardy this program is in. I like Pittman but it seems like it would have made more sense to guy with at least some HC experience. Anyway everyone knows Trey and everyone else in Ark sports media (especially a certain Demozette sports editor) are following the instructions of the BOT and boosters who torpedoed the hiring of another candidate to spin this into a glorious thing. That crap that was put up on Trey's board about Kiffin and Sexton getting played by HY is pure BS. The Ark sports media makes me sick to my stomach. Anyway I'll wait and see with Pittman and hope I'm proven wrong.
@@mortysmith216 Couldn't retain Chad Morris. 3 year rebuild doesn't mean a decline in the first 2 years and suddenly you have 8 wins out of nowhere. There is natural progression that is observed.
Chad was a buffoon and the team was lost.
@@bryand7958 The first year was bielma crappy players and the second was a big group of freshman an bielma crappy players. What were our honest to god expectations hell besides chad recruits and boyd there isn't anybody on the team that's worth mentioning. I'll admit he had a horrible offensive coordinator but our expectations are unrealistic that's why nobody wanted to come. Now we have a first year head coach an everybody excited we'll never be on a top tier level.
@@mortysmith216 unreasonable expectations? I wanted 4 wins. I would have taken 3 if they looked competitive in some more games. Chad got a fat meaty turd dropped on his head by WKU and lost to San Jose State. Ty Storey made him look like a fool. There was no improvement whatsoever and Morris was an extremely unlikable guy with his coach speak. Chad Morris was a fool that thought he was playing 4d chess while everyone else was playing tic tac toe.
Bottom line: no improvement and he lost the support of his team.
Edit: I also don't think this is a good hire. Dave Clawson looked like exactly what we needed in every way shape and form.
Awesome to see passion in a coach
