FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas now has another opening on Sam Pittman's coaching staff with Kenny Guiton leaving to coach wide receivers at Wisconsin.
Guiton played quarterback at Ohio State for Wisconsin Coach Luke Fickell. Pittman was asked Wednesday, Dec. 20. if he expected any more openings on his staff?
"No," Pittman said. "Not that I am aware of, no."
Guiton has spent the past three seasons at Arkansas coaching wide receivers except for the final four games of 2023 when he tutored the quarterbacks. He served as offensive coordinator following the dismissal of Dan Enos after a 7-3 loss to Mississippi State. In Guiton’s four games as offensive coordinator, the Hogs went 2-2 beating Florida and FIU. They lost to Auburn and Missouri.
A name who could possibly be linked to Arkansas with the departure of Guiton is Dameyune Craig who was at Texas A&M from 2018-2023. Craig played college football at Auburn. He has coaching experience at LSU, Florida State, Auburn and other stops in addition to A&M.
Other names who could emerge are Paul Petrino, Garrick McGee and Grant Heard. Petrino is the offensive coordinator at Central Michigan. McGee is coaching wide receivers at Louisville and Heard coaches the wide outs at UCF.
Arkansas’ new offensive coordinator is Bobby Petrino who was at Texas A&M last season. In addition, Eric Mateos came over from Baylor to coach the offensive line replacing Cody Kennedy who is now at Mississippi State.
