Arkansas coach Sam Pittman is in the process of hiring a general manager ahead of the spring transfer portal window opening in mid-April. Pittman emphasized the need for an additional perspective to help with roster construction and decision-making. The general manager would handle financial aspects, roster management, and player evaluations to assist Pittman in making informed decisions. Arkansas ranked 11th nationally in winter transfer portal activity but still has clear needs on the roster. Pittman is looking for someone with experience in a top management role, possibly from the NFL or NBA, to negotiate contracts and communicate with agents. The goal is to have the general manager in place before the portal reopens to streamline the recruitment process and make well-informed decisions on potential additions to the team. Pittman mentioned that Arkansas has been in talks with potential candidates and that the hiring process involves input from various parties. The focus is on finding someone who understands the team’s dynamics and needs before diving into recruitment activities. Arkansas football’s spring practice is set to begin on March 10, with the Red-White game scheduled for April 19.
