His expertise will be invaluable in helping the program navigate the complexities of the NCAA’s name, image, and likeness (NIL) policies and the ever-changing landscape of college athletics.
Pittman has expressed his enthusiasm for Cofield’s hiring, citing the need for a buffer between himself and the athletic administration. “I can’t be the bad guy all the time,” Pittman said. “I need somebody who can help me with those things. That’s why everybody’s going to that.”
