SEC teams Houston Nutt played more than once while at Arkansas...

Alabama
Auburn
LSU
Ole Miss
Kentucky
Vandy
Florida
Georgia
S. Carolina
Miss St
Tenn
...yes, all of them.

SEC teams he had a winning record against...

Ole Miss 7-3
Miss St 9-1
S. Carolina 7-3

With a total record against these three of 23-7. Take that off his 42-39 record and that puts him at 19-32 in the SEC. Along with the fact that he was 2-3 all-time vs Kentucky and 1-1 all-time vs Vandy.

Houston Nutt had a 2-6 bowl record with 137-250 scoring differential.

So don't give me this crap. You can twist it any way you want to. He was here for 10 yrs and was an avg coach at best.

Call the Arky fan base delusional if you want but I don't think any of us would hire a coach if we knew ahead of time that our teams upcoming decade would consist of these types of numbers.

I apologize ahead of time for the drunken rant.

Nate Hawg one thing you are not realizing is that Ole Miss, SC, and MSU have just as much potential to win, if not slighly more than Arkansas b/c they have better recruiting bases. SC has that as well as bigger budget. The losing record against the rest of the league is too be expected. It's Arkansas. If you think Arkansas can play with the top 6 programs in the league consistantly you are delusional. Who cares about his lower tier bowl record? they are exhibition games. Maybe he was counting on senior leadership that didn't show up yet was concentrating on the NFL draft.

If you take away the shitty teams from any coach, their record is going to be worse.
do the same math on the other teams that are of Arkansas stature (South Carolina, Auburn) and you're going to find similar results.
