Nutt interviewed for the Dallas Cowboys job that Dooley has now.

I doubt he would "lower himself" to be an assistant again, the last time he was an assistant was as a WR coach on Crowe's staff here, the first thing Ford did when hired was fire his arse. He then went to Murray St. and parlayed that into the Boise job as they moved up to FBS level.

He honestly thought he was in the running for the Bama and Miami jobs the last time they were hiring.

I actually think Houston Nutt is a pretty good head coach. He took two bottom-tier SEC schools to their most successful seasons in decades. Both Arkansas and Ole Miss were more successful with him than they have been since.

He took Arkansas to the SEC title game, something no Arkansas coach has done since.

Sure, except the one detail that Arkansas was the second SEC-W team to win the west and play in the championship game, in 1995, coached by Danny Ford.

The other detail is in just a few years prior to that, Arkansas won back to back conference titles.

No.

Between Arkansas and Ole Miss, Houston Nutt should have all the "frick You" money that he needs.

McCluster was Orgeron's... not Nutt's. Nutt got the benefit of having him on campus the first year.

He took two Ole Miss teams that that had the talent to go to Atlanta and beyond and went 8-4 with both of them. Then because he wouldn't get off his sorry arse we experienced two of the worst years in OM football. He is a horrible coach

Never would have gotten an Ole Miss fan to admit this during those 8-5 seasons, let alone when he was hired.

I remember pank and inelisha telling me that the reason they dropped four games in '09 was that Nutt hadn't taught them to win until the latter portion of the season.

He's a really hard coach to figure out. I mean the guy had a lot of success in the SEC. I don't think he gave up after 2009 because his 2010 recruiting class was by far his best effort. He should've fired Tyrone Nix after the Auburn game and the Egg Bowl in 2009 though and he, nor anyone else, should ever hire David Lee.

And that 2009 recruiting class was a disaster.

It's easy to see the problem if one observes how he manages assistant coaches (especially offensive coordinators), quarterbacks, and existing team talent with any team he coaches.

After the '06 season, Gus Malzahn leaves for Tulsa. Unless it's David Lee, Nutt can't hold on to an offensive coordinator.

With his best two teams ever at Arkansas in '06 and '07, he loses his last three games in '06 to LSU, Florida, and Wisconsin and then opens the '07 season with three straight SEC losses to Alabama, Kentucky, and Auburn. I knew he was gone after the Kentucky loss.

Plain and simple, no matter how many 'upsets' Nutt wins, Nutt loses a whole lot of games that any really good coach would most likely win.

Not at Arkansas.
