re: Hogs, what happens if Bert falls to 0-3 against Malzahn this year?

No, he worked back channels, associates, friends, etc. trying to get Nutt's job from day one.

It back fired on him when Woods left and Nutt brought in David Lee, who Mustain spent his summers with learning to play QB.

Horton was also being brought in so Nutt had 3 former OCs on staff, one of which has more influence with the people Gus was trying to persuade in ousting Nutt and naming him the successor thanks to his daddy.

Of course Nutt knew Malzahn couldn't take the blow to his ego in being demoted to just the WRs coach, he left for Tulsa.

After the first time Gus went above Nutt's head over trivial shite and continued to stir the pot while portraying himself as the victim, Nutt decided he must go. The boiling point was Gus encouraging Williams to transferring to SC and was encouraging Mitch to do the same, Nutt's play was to remove the cancer in the program, bring in Lee to develop Mustain, and give Mustain a shot at earning the job over the summer.

Much of the myth about Malzahn being an innocent victim here has been put out by Irwin who was played by Gus like a fiddle.
