Ten years ago Mateos served under then-offensive line coach Sam Pittman as a grad assistant as he tried to break into division I football from the JUCO ranks. Since then it's been full speed ahead—coaching at programs like LSU, BYU & Baylor before coming full circle and landing the job as offensive line coach at Arkansas. We dive into his journey, working under Bobby Petrino and what makes Sam Pittman the only man he would drop everything and move across the country for when he came calling.  -------- The full video version of this episode including behind-the-scenes team stories and insights is available exclusively on HogsPlus.com Follow us on social media!
