So the consensus is that the program wouldn't have been better off if the Springfield crew had succeeded in making Gus head hog?

It's easy to look back and say this. At the time you were talking about replacing a guy who had won the west 3 times in a decade with a guy one year removed from being a HS HC.

I lay the blame on Broyles. He should have fired Nutt or let him run the program his way. Forcing him to take on players that didn't want to play for him and their coach that hadn't put in his time was just lighting the fuse of a bomb.

One of the greatest lies about Gus is that he adapts to his players and runs a wide open offense.

He's still running the same read/option offense that everyone else quit using 10 years ago.

But hey if you have a Darren McFadden or a cam newton it will work. Guys like that are easy to find.

At the same time nutt was coming off back to back losing seasons. Losing the Springdale 5 would have been a disaster. The fan base was getting restless. Gus leveraged that to the max.
