Just weeks ago, Arkansas head coach Sam Pittman was all about stability, insisting there was “no indication” of any coaching changes ahead of the 2025 season. But, as we all know, the coaching carousel never stops spinning — and now the Razorbacks are facing a major vacancy after secondary coach Deron Wilson made the leap to Georgia State as defensive coordinator.
Wilson, just 34 years old, spent two solid years in Fayetteville, guiding the defensive backs and helping Arkansas secure a 4th-place finish in SEC passing defense in 2023. But things took a nosedive in 2024, with a battered secondary finishing dead last in the SEC and allowing a staggering 246.9 yards per game through the air.
So what does this mean for Pittman and the Hogs? Opportunity! The door is wide open for a game-changing hire that could spark the team’s defense back to greatness. Enter one potential frontrunner: an Auburn Tiger who broke his neck but is now ready to make a thunderous comeback and take the reins of Arkansas’ secondary!
Who’s stepping up to lead this defense into battle? Stay tuned – the Razorbacks might just land their next big star!
