no we’re not, we are where Iowa state was before he took over

He is Pittman, Bert and Houston Nutt.

Houston Nutt had way more success than those other two regardless of your opinion of the type of person hootie is. If Campbell got us to Nutt level of success I would be content


It’s not just Arkansas that respects Campbell. Many people across the country consider him a top tier coach. Josh pate said on his show a few weeks ago that would be the first person he called if he was an AD anywhere in the country conducting a coaching search.

I don’t care what he is as a person, as I like Petrino for what he did here and the offense he runs. Tight routes and getting tight ends involved. The problem is and why I’m not as in on Petrino is he believes every new QB has to be Lamar Jackson or Mallett, when he needs Wilson/Allen.

Houston Nutt had about the same level of success as Pittman, one good year, rest on his laurels with the same players and do just about as good but not quite. Then they would leave he would have two seasons of no bowl games and he would out coach everyone for the extensions. He is Pittman, he is Bert. Quit looking at him with rose colored glasses.

Houston nutt got us to the sec championship game twice and we were a muffed punt away from playing for a natty in one of them. He then went 8-4 and beat the eventual national champs the following year. But let’s just ask google:
Houston Nutt's record at the University of Arkansas was 75 wins and 48 losses during his 10 seasons as head coach from 1998 to 2007. His tenure included leading the team to seven bowl games, winning three SEC Western Division titles, and making two appearances in the SEC Championship game.   Record: \(75-48\)Head coaching career at Arkansas: 1998–2007  Key accomplishments: Third-most wins in school history  Three SEC Western Division titles  Seven bowl appearances during his time  First coach to take the Razorbacks to a bowl game in each of his first six season. Does this sound like Pittman to you? Who had one season above 7 wins.

So if you’re asking me if I would take a coach that averages an sec championship appearance once every 5 years yes, yes I would

I know you guys are dense, and you heard a name and want to be an insider to a guy because baldy and the midget told you he is good. But we are about the same level in our conference as they are in theirs. He can’t win his conference, with little to no ranked opponents, but you think he can win here.

You keep lying and saying you would be ok with a random good season every 4 years with barely making a bowl the rest. You won’t. He isn’t talked about because his shine came off after Purdy left. Then in a get fired season he had a great season last year and fell back off. He is Pittman, Bert and Houston Nutt.

1995 Michigan State 6–5–1 4–3–1 5th L Independence
1996 Michigan State 6–6 5–3 5th L Sun
1997 Michigan State 7–5 4–4 6th L Aloha
1998 Michigan State 6–6 4–4 6th
1999 Michigan State 9–2 6–2 T–2nd

I guess Nick Saban at Michigan State was dog shite too. Never won a bowl game and had one good season then bolted to LSU. Whatever happened to that guy?

Can anyone tell me who had their team ranked #1 in the very first playoff ranking but has never taken a team to the playoffs?

Hint he coached at Florida the majority of his time since the playoffs have been a thing.

Anyway, Biddys update today was the names he continues to hear inside the most are Dilly, Campbell and Sumrall.. with some Golesh and Morris. Worth nothing, every name lines up with one certain agent that I’ve told we met with early on(Clint Dowdle) and any Sexton clients names are just fake news. Franklin wasn’t fake but it never got very far.

---

Biddy never knows anything until it’s done. So either we are close to announcing or all those names can be written off as not happening. I think the former.

All things being equal I’d rank them:
Dillingham
Campbell
Golesh (seems he’s staying)
Morris
Sumrall


I think Morris has higher ceiling long term out of the bottom 3 but might have more upside/downs at first.

Now we’re just lying. HDN did as good or better than Pittmans best year 6 times.

---

Nutt would have 2 good seasons and 2 gutter seasons, where he should have been fired, but Broyles wouldn’t do it. He would pull out the ditch, get an extension and repeat the cycle.

Pittman in 6 seasons only missed a bowl game once, twice if you count this year.

You’re living in a fantasy. Multiple people have posted the facts about nutts tenure and how much better he was than Pittman. Nutt missed a bowl 3 times in 10 years. Pittman missed a bowl 3 times in 5 years if you lay this season at his feet. Also Nutt never lost 8 games in a season.

Is it because we only played 11 games in 2005 with Matt Jones and Peyton Hillis?
