FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — It didn’t take long for some changes to happen after Arkansas’ 7-3 loss to Mississippi State on Saturday afternoon. If you didn’t see offensive coordinator Dan Enos’ time being very short after that debacle, you really weren’t paying attention.
Arkansas Communications announced the move by press release.
Coach Pittman has relieved Dan Enos of his duties effective immediately.
Kenny Guiton will takeover play calling duties for the remainder of the season. https://t.co/gKhAKAsrnX

The wide receivers’ coach is taking over play-calling duties, but no word who is going to be coaching the quarterbacks, but it was clear starter KJ Jefferson was increasingly annoyed with some things. He was captured on the ESPN broadcast at one point rolling his eyes and his body language clearly indicated something was wrong.
It was the second coaching stint with the Razorbacks for Enos, who has made a career of short stays at various places for the last few years. There was no word about a permanent choice there as coach Sam Pittman has a ton of problems to deal with and naming a full-time coordinator is just one of them.
The Hogs, stuck at 2-6 on the season, are also 0-5 in SEC play and have a much-needed week off. They will play at Florida on Nov. 4, looking for the program’s first win at Gainesville, Fla., needing to run the table on the remainder of the season to reach bowl eligibility.
Pittman will only be with the media Monday at noon, but there will be no media access to any of the practices or anything else this week. Don’t look for many more changes in the coaching staff at least as long as they have a mathematical shot at getting to a bowl game this year.
