One good year and now ya'll will be BCS icons where you can pencil in a win over LSU every other year...GTFO

Lets go ahead and point out just how wrong you are. Ok?

He averaged an 8-4 record over 10 years which is the equivolent to averaging 10-2 at Lsu. Look at the talent and depth levels at LSU and Ark. Look at all the NFL players right now from LA that played at LSU and compare that to Ark. How many kids from Arkansas played at UA and played defense in an Arkansas highschool are in the NFL now? 1 or 2 maybe? Compare that to LSU. Arkansas gets about 1 difference maker (5star type) every 2 or 3 years, and a 4 star type who half the time turns out to be a bust. You guys always thought you could build a championship caliber team with that but you can't. You can't build a championship defense with a bunch of california juco blow-outs or Texas and Oklahoma kids the big 12 wasn't recruiting.

His Overall record was 75-48. His SEC record was 42-38. That means he averaged 7 wins a season, while averaging .500 in the SEC. He also had a 4 and 5 win season and went 2-6 in bowls. Let's not tell lies or overglorify. Ok?

Lets move on.

Now look at his final 6 years. This should be enlightening to you since you seem to believe he does more with less. Let's take a look at the "less" he had over his final 6 years and how he fared:

His last 6 years at Arkansas he had 6 first rounders, 7 second rounders, and 32 drafted in rounds 1-7. This doesn't even take into account free agents or transfers like Tarvarias Jackson. Among those 32 are Pro Bowlers such as Ken Hamlin and Shawn Andrews, the SEC All-Time rushing QB in Matt Jones, the 2nd leading SEC rusher of all time in McFadden, Felix Jones who had 5,100 APY, a Rimington Award winner in Luigs, on and on and on.......

Any coach with half a brain wins the SEC at least once with that talent. Hell, at a minimum they do better than one game over .500 in SEC play.

But with all the above mentioned talent, lets look at how Mr. More with less performed over his final 6 years:

25-24 SEC
14-19 Road
11-24 Top 25
1-3 Bowls (2 losing seasons)
Lost to Vandy twice
Gave up over 130 pts in 2 games to USC

Who cares about his alledged adulturous indescretions? No one should have known about it if they weren't snooping in his private business. And what kind of person does it take to go public with someones private business as if to say "I have nothing better to do with my life then snoop into the coaches phone records" Maybe his wife is open to it and it's normal in that relationship anyway. Who cares?

---

First, lets not pick and choose details. Lets tell the whole story and/or remove our head from the sand.

Personally, I don't know that I would go for phone records but I'm also not the friend or family member of an athlete that is receiving threatening emails from friends of coaches. These emails were forwarded among the Nutt brothers, his wife, and others before being sent to Mitch. I've never had a coaches wife talk about beating an athletes mother with a 2x4 either. I'm not sure what I would do.

Regardless, recruits were being very verbal that Nutt had no contact with them during recruiting periods, not even by text, but how could he when he was texting his mistress the entire time? Would Les Miles have a 10 minute texting spree on the sideline of the Capital One Bowl?

Arkansas is about to make another strong run at 5-7 unless Mallett plays alot better than at Michigan. Nutt is about to win the SEC-W and possibly bcs. If you aren't in all out panick mode yet, you will be around December

Hog fans let us not feed the troll.

Rose out.

I think it's PharmacyReb...What a douche

Who cares if Diana Nutt wanted to beat Momma Mustain with a 2x4. She went to the AD and complained about the offensive philosphy and according to ESPN stated Gus Malzhan should be running things. Saying it , fantasizing about it is not doing it but I can certainly understand why she'd say it.



woopig here's what I think about the email situation; First, we don't have any evidence Houston himself was behind it originally. He only gave the apology and later took the fall for it. I think there is some merit to the theory Danny directed it but didn't he have brain cancer? wasn't he on some sort of meds? wasn't he already relieved or about to be relieved of his coaching at that time? I'm not so sure a person in that type of medical condition can be counted on to make wise fundamental decisions.

Looking back at that entire situation there are a few things we know now that the casual hog fan didn't know back then. There is alot of evidence that Gus, Mitch and his mother were sort of culprits in the entire situation b/c they thought this little gimmick offense, shotgun, spread, highschool stuff was going to work at Arkansas but it wasn't and Nutt and Broyles knew it wasn't. But how do you inform an ignorant fanbase of that when Johnny Smith is throwing for 600 yards a game at the local highschool? I think Mitch probabaly had a poor attitude toward Nutt's offense and that led to most of his problems on and off the field. I also think Nutt probably had a good idea he was wasting a scholarship on a primadonna quarterback who thrived in a "system" and would only be satisfied in that "system" and could only succeed in a lower level in that "system" but for the sake of the ignorant fan he had to take him and his over-rated coach anyway.

Nutt didn't have an offense prior to Malzahn...evident by the same plays he's been running since 2006...Funny, how none of those plays were there in his previous years which consisted of stretch plays and 5 yard outs...

Nutt is still Nutt...
