14. Sam Pittman — Arkansas

I like Sam Pittman a lot. I think he’s one of the best offensive line coaches in college football. He might even be the best.

But he’s the only first time head coach in the SEC in 2020, which means there’s no way he can be anywhere but No. 14 on this list.

I actually think Pittman is a tremendous fit at Arkansas, whereas Chad Morris was a terrible fit (good coach, but Arkansas wasn’t the place for him).

Pittman will get Arkansas back to being a physical team that aims to own the line of scrimmage. It won’t take long, once Pittman gets some of his recruits in the door, before the Razorbacks have one of the better offensive lines in the country.

Of course, Pittman has to prove he’s more than a position coach in 2020. I think he’s head coach material, but this is uncharted territory for the Oklahoma native.
