Felt like this deserves its own thread. I’m simply just sharing what D.J. said, as he’s a Razorback legend and had some interesting comments.

——

D.J. Williams says he heard Barry Odom is in convo of being next HC and he'll keep Petrino on if Pittman decides to retire.

"I would not be shocked at all if he decided to retire after this year. He's got a great lake house in Hot Springs. He's a big family guy. I know he wants to spend time with family. Quite frankly, I think he's just tired of all this BS day in and day out of what comes with the new landscape of college football.

"If he sticks around, he sticks around. It is what it is and we'll see what happens with that. Do I think we can continue to grow on the offensive production and defensive production that we've had? Yes. But you just need somebody also in place that will embrace this new era of NIL and really, unfortunately, have to get away from these old school things of 'I'm going to grow and develop a player.' You have to get to it now. That's just a decision he has to make.

"As far as speculation of me saying should he or should he not be the coach, that's just a game that I don't like to play. We'll just see how things pan out and then we'll talk about it as soon as we hear something. Once again, would not be shocked if that's what happens and the thing about it, stuff like that happens sooner than later. I would expect this week to maybe hear something when it comes to a statement being said that he's going to continue to be our head coach, or they're moving on. That's how quickly all these things happen."
