Nutt.... Fagg called him

ohn Fagg, assistant AD, has called me just to lay out, just to kind of touch base deal. Nothing big. But I don't know. I think they're down the road a little bit. I think they've zeroed in on a few guys, and again it's probably still early. By you don't know, this is a very important hire. We all, of course, love Arkansas, and right now boy this is a turning point. This is going to be very, very important.
"And recruiting, I wouldn't worry too much about a lot of the de-commits. I get a lot of people calling me, 'Coach, we've lost 12 players.' Well, that's going to happen because you don't know who your leader is, yet. But that can change. And the other thing is Arkansas, I think, is important. That's first and foremost is the state of Arkansas and make sure the coaches up there, Barry Lunney and other coaches, are making sure they're still touching base with those guys."
Bazzel went on to ask if Nutt would be interested, if not offered the head coaching position, in being involved with the athletic department possibly in some sort of advisory role.

"Yeah. You know what, absolutely, absolutely. And when you grow up as a little boy in the state of Arkansas going to Little Rock games, Calling the Hogs and putting on a red jumpsuit to be a ball boy, and then getting to play for the Razorbacks, then getting to coach as an assistant, and then a dream come true getting to lead the Hogs down that ramp."
Nutt went on to say he would only want to come to work if it's a fit but that he'd love to have a role whether it's talking football with fans and boosters like R.C. Slocum did at Texas A&M after coaching or helping in recruiting.
