Of course Dale would be pissed if fans were chanting his OC’s name. He is a petty fricking ego maniac

I am a bit baffled that the writer of that piece just has a major case of the red booty over Petrino dropping UNLV for A&M. Sort of implying that Odom had trusted him to help rebuild the team and that Petrino abandoned him.
It was the OC job at A&M! They were going to back a dumptruck loaded with money up to his doorstep and he was supposed to say no? Any OC, unless they are a true blue devotee of their school, is going to move from UNLV to Texas A&M in a heartbeat.
A more less direct quote... "he had an OK season with QBs he didn't expect to have to play." A&M really fell off down the homestretch, when folks think Jimbo took over play calling duties, but they still managed to put out the 25th ranked scoring offense in the country.
If Arkansas had that sort of scoring offense this year we'd probably be cussing out Missouri for eliminating any chance of us sneaking into a NY6 game this season.
There are reasons to like and dislike Bobby Petrino and what he could potentially bring to the program. But this was an out and out hit piece. And not a particularly well done one.

He brought up that Petrino was 18-15 at Missouri State.
He didn't mention the fact that he brought them a playoff appearance for the for the first time since 1990.
He didn't mention that Missouri State had a double digit lead in 2022 and he made Pittman look like a complete fool.

Pittman didn’t care
Yet some people think he has a big ego

Hootie just like to stir things up. And I don't think he can help it.

Just checked and he sure did. Oh man…That. Is. Probably. A. Bit. Awkward.

He is just jealous that Petrino is the better coach and more popular in Arkansas.
He said Petrino needs to do better. Well Houston Dale, let us recap your days when you were an OC and called some good plays.
I called that play

Does he bring up that he was 5-6 at Boise State when Arkansas hired him?

Equally as bad

Well of course not!
Nate would never say one bad thing about Houston Dale Nutt!
It wasn't his fault that he had a bad year, it was the NCAA cloud that caused the losing season!

That cloud that caused HDN to lose 4 scholarships for a couple years. Nolan did nothing wrong but due to a lack of institutional control thanks to the football and track program he too lost scholarships.
HDN it's not your fault, heres a two year free pass.
Nolan why are you not winning NCs right now, you should be.

Nolan didn't like Nutt. In his book, he was angry that Nutt with average seasons was paid more than he who had a national title.
