re: Nutt recruiting per Rivals' Mike Ferrell

I do think we have a recruiting advantage over Arkansas if that's what you're saying. Our state as more talent and we're so close to florida where we dip into frequently. Being close to Texas really hasn't done much for Arkansas. You've obviously got better facilities, but if it's not easier to recruit at OM why is the same coach doing better at it here?

Truthful answer is he had grown complacent here and at one time was rumored to be being groomed to retire from coaching and step into FB's shoes as AD. he bought into that whole thing and thought he was on easy street at Arkansas. He quit working.

Now he knows the pressure is on him like never before. Ole Miss will fire his arse if he doesn't produce next season. The SECW has gotten too
competitive to think otherwise.

So he's actually out humping it for the first time in 8 years, at least.

Hell fire man for the last 3 years of his tenure at Arkansas he let his frickin DC get away with not recruiting at all. It was in his contract. That's just lazy.
