The Hall of Fame OL Coach (Pre-2020 Edition)
Pittman wasn’t just good; he was a developer of monsters. From Oklahoma (1990s) to Georgia (2016-2019), he built lines that pancaked defenses and funneled talent to the NFL:
• Georgia Peak: Under Kirby Smart, Pittman’s crews anchored three straight SEC East titles and a 2017 national championship run. They paved for a 2019 rushing attack led by D’Andre Swift (1,216 yards, 4th in SEC). He coached 15 linemen to the pros, including studs like Andrew Thomas (No. 4 overall pick, 2020). PFF loved ’em—top-10 pass protection, elite run blocking.
• Arkansas Assistant Days (2013-2015): As Bret Bielema’s OL coach/recruiting coordinator, he fielded the biggest line in college football (average 320+ lbs). They powered 1,000-yard rushers Jonathan Williams and Alex Collins, mentoring All-SEC beasts like Brandon Scherff (No. 5 pick, 2015) and Frank Ragnow (2nd-rounder, 2018).
• Career Stats Vibe: Across stints at Tennessee, Missouri, and beyond, his lines hovered around a 5% sack rate (elite) while fueling top-20 rushing attacks. X chatter calls him “the best O-line coach in the country” for effort, technique, and turning mid-tier recruits into pros. He’s the “Yesssssir!” hype man who made Georgia’s OL recruiting viral gold.
In short: Pittman as OL coach? A+. He’d thrive as a position guru under a sharp HC—think what he did for Smart or Bielema.
