Fans frustrated on X (Twitter), but glad Hogs’ season finally over
Now that the dismal football season is finally over, Razorback fans are “voicing” their frustrations on social media.
With somewhat high expectations heading into the season, the Razorbacks finished the disappointing campaign at 4-8, with just one solemn win in the SEC.
Hunter Yurachek has previously given Sam Pittman full support for returning next season, but many are questioning that decision.
Here is some of the postseason chatter that has been posted:
Lacking in NIL
Arkansas needs to revamp the NIL system. OneArkansas NIL lacks transparency even though the organization is hiding being the 501(c)(3) non-profit status. Have you seen their horrendous website? They don’t have business people running the NIL organization, just former RF cronies.…

Education more important
I am more worried about education in Arkansas than I am about Arkansas football. The U of A needs to stand up for public schools and not worry about football.

Take a look around
The Chad recruits are gone. The super seniors are gone.
Take a look around.
D2 wide receivers and a portal built OL that is the worst we’ve ever seen. 32 PPG surrendered against power 5 teams.
A roster that doesn’t believe in what they’re being coached. Nor should they.

Disaster FINALLY over
FINAL – Missouri 48, Arkansas 14
It's over. The disaster that was the 2023 Arkansas football season is finally over. The Hogs finish 4-8 (1-7).

Walk and talk
Decided to do a walk and talk of my own. Here are my thoughts on the current state of Arkansas football: pic.twitter.com/TfwCOCwsKJ

It's just time
I’ll remember Sam Pittman as the guy who pulled Arkansas football out of the gutter but it’s time to let someone else take the program to the next level. Gus Malzahn is not that guy

Unserious about football
The fact that A&M is letting Fisher go after a blowout win and Arkansas still has Pittman after a blowout loss shows how unserious they are about football in Fayetteville.

Arkansas crossroads
What a crossroads for Arkansas Football! Replace Coach Pittman and risk mass defections through the transfer portal and decommitments from the HS ranks or lose the fan base and the deep pockets and stick with Sam? What to do? Your thoughts? @DavidBazzel @KBoBaseballGuru

Vandy of the West
Arkansas football is the Vandy of the West.
Not serious about winning. It’s a social event to pass the time until hoops starts.— MC (@MarcusC7796) November 13, 2023
Referring to NIL
I can't seem to get through to some of you. In this discussion I'm not referring to Arkansas's current or past issues in football. I'm referring to NIL and how it's going to affect the future of college football. Football at mid majors could well end up as a club sport. Those Pac… https://t.co/72rR8X2tOz

Pittman's media schedule unchanged
FWIW: Arkansas just sent out the weekly football availability and Sam Pittman is scheduled to talk to the media at noon Monday and 2 p.m. Wednesday — his usual times.
That could mean nothing or something. Just wanted to pass along.

Love of money
He has set himself up well for retirement! And he’s in a good position either way, the Razorback football program, not so much

Total waste
Another total waste, Razorbacks 4-8 season. Sure, Sarah, tell people again why they should move to Arkansas. Can’t even get a winning football team.
— Calleigh (@CalleighCat14) November 25, 2023
Incapable
The Razorbacks football team isn't capable of competing as a Power 5 team. Simple as that. I'm talking about any team Sam Pittman puts on the field. His answers to reasonable questions. Sounds like a 3 or 4 year old child talking about a balloon.

Laugh or cry
Sometimes, you either have to laugh or cry.
That’s where Razorback football is at.

Worst times
For the winning Razorback football coaches we weren’t happy or found reasons to run off Broyles, Holtz, Hatfield, Nutt and Petrino. We say 6-6 isn’t good enough. Well, in their last seasons BP 11-2, HN 8-5, KH 10-2, LH 6-5 and FB 5-5-1 wasn’t good enough either!

Fire everyone
Agree 100% Yurachek needs fired for letting our football accept failure and keeping Pittman

Is that smart?
Razorback football
Where keeping a fourth year coach who just went 4-8 is the “smart” move

Narrow minded
#SAME. I follow and celebrate all of the Razorback sports on campus. I'm just not a narrow minded person, focused only on football. Sure, it brings in the most money by far, but that doesn't make the other sports any less important on their stages.

Basketball, baseball school
As a Razorback fan, were a basketball and baseball school. Lots of success, deep postseason runs and high rankings since we joined SEC.
Since weve joined the SEC, Razorbacks are like 184-239 all time in football in SEC. Losing seasons is our identity— Warren Davis (@Dubs042) November 25, 2023
"I don't know"
I will say that this is the worst I have felt about Arkansas Razorback football since Jon L Smith was our coach, Pittman has let it go to shit. 4-8 is not an acceptable record for the UofA, we can't even beat the teams we are paying millions of dollars to so we can beat them up.

Nothing new
Sideline Hecklers aren't sharing anything new with mostly difficult Arkansas Razorbacks football history the past decade… In 4 years, HC Sam Pittman currently 23-25 overall. In 2 years, HC Chad Morris was a disastrous 4-20. In 5 years, HC Bret Bielema was 29-30. #wps #hogwild

Republican downfall
The Arkansas Razorbacks football team has been bad ever since Arkansas went Republican and elected Tom Cotton.
— Bill Reece Dale 🌊 (@BillReeceDale) November 25, 2023
Opinion the same
My opinion hasn’t changed. Sam ain’t it. He never was. However, I am not writing a $20M check so I will have to wait to see if others decide that they want Arkansas to take football seriously or just continue to aspire for 6-6, 7-5 and the occasional Liberty Bowl
