Sam Pittman on Dan Enos firing: "It just wasn't working."

Dan Enos's brief second tenure as Arkansas's offensive coordinator will be remembered more for the activity in his email account than anything that happened on the field. 

Enos was let go Sunday after Arkansas fell 7-3 to Mississippi State on Saturday. The Razorbacks gained 200 yards on 67 plays during the game; KJ Jefferson completed 19-of-31 passes for 97 yards with an interception, while four Hogs rushers combined for 103 yards on 37 carries. 

"Dan worked extremely hard. He was in the building all the time, put a lot of hours into it," Pittman said Monday. "It just wasn't working."

Kenny Guiton will move from wide receivers to quarterbacks coach and interim offensive coordinator and, in a move that was not disclosed by the school on Sunday, Derek Kief will move from quality control to interim wide receivers coach. Kief came to Arkansas after two seasons as Towson's wide receivers coach and previously GA'd at Maryland. Kief played wide receiver at Alabama from 2014-18. 

Pittman spent Sunday and Monday in meetings with coaches and on the phone with recruits. One of the things those meetings determined: Arkansas tried to do too many things offensively, and in the end the Hogs are good at none of them. 

"We're trying to eliminate some of the volume that we have offensively," he said. Obviously it was important that we stayed in-house so we wouldn't have a lot of terminology (changes.) We've got to give our kids a chance to win. It just seems nothing ever came easy for us this year. We've got to do some things differently, one of it us cut down some of the volume we have."

Arkansas enters its off week on a 6-game losing streak and ranked last in the SEC in yards per play, total offense and scoring. The Hogs will need to win out against a schedule that includes Auburn, Florida and No. 16 Missouri to reach a bowl game.
