Comparing the coaches and their levels of success is actually kind of interesting.

Houston Nutt = Mike Anderson - "Hometown" hire. Generally wins more than he loses. Stuck in his ways from a philosophy standpoint. Fans will always question coaching aptitude and quality of assistants. Good enough recruiter, but not great. Gets by on just enough in-state talent to survive. Will get extremely ugly when a change has to be made.

John L. Smith = John Pelphrey - Both hired under dire circumstances. Both unmitigated disasters.

Bret Bielema = Stan Heath - Both took over the program shortly after controversy. Midwestern roots, but never a great cultural fit. Hires looked good on paper. Some signs of progress, only Bielema regressed. Heath actually knew how to recruit.

Bobby Petrino = Nolan Richardson - Most successful coaches in the past 20 years. Uptempo style of play. Inglorious departures. That's about where the comparisons end. Nolan was a HOF coach, and Petrino is a HOF a-hole.
