He's great at pulling the upset (Florida game in 2008 I believe).


Actually, this idea is an 'urban legend' especially since he moved to OM.

Yes, they beat Florida and upset LSU once since he arrived BUT just think of the games he has 'fumbled' when favored ... USCe, MSU, Vandy (x2), and Jax State come to mind.

He gets it because he has a revolving door at QB, no depth and probably has higher QB turnover than any other coach in the SEC.

Also, how many different QB coaches or OC have you had in the 3, coming on 4, seasons he has been there??

His last 4 years at AR he had 4 different QB coaches and 4 different OC. And it's not because they were moving on to "better" jobs.

Tell me you see the pattern here...

Qb and OC killa

It's not nearly as common, tired, or retarded as the Arky fans obsessing over him...

This is one of the worst threads of the last month as far as outright nonsense is concerned.

You want people to explain why a QB sucked that wasn't coached by Nutt? Impossible. Nutt only takes the credit, never the blame.

Stolen from a friend, but for your enjoyment:

In his 13+ years as a BCS coach (10 AR, 3 OM) Houston Nutt has 2, a whopping 2 Qb's that he signed that remained Qb's all 4 years in his program. Matt Jones and Casey Dick. That's it.

FRESHMEN SIGNED UNDER NUTT:

Freshman he signed that transferred:

Gary Brashiers (Parade All-American)
Zak Clark
Cole Barthel (opted to go into MLB draft then came back a couple yrs later only to transfer to AR Tech)
Tavaris Jackson (Transferred to AL A&M and is now w Vikings)
Alex Mortenson
Mitch Mustain (5 star went to USC)
Nathan Dick (left under Petrino)
Joe Chiasson (left under Petrino)
Nathan Stanley
Chris Wilkes
Raymond Cotton (4 star)

QB's he signed and switched positions: Both 4 stars out of high school btw
Cedric Washington
Robert Johnson

JUCO QB's signed under Nutt

Robby Hampton (played one yr, threw out his shoulder)
Ryan Sorahan (played occasionally, not much impact)

2 out of 15 QB's (13%) signed as freshman by Houston Nutt stayed and developed their entire career. He has NEVER developed a QB into a solid pro in his career (Jackson said his development occurred at Alabama A&M, Matt Jones was switched to WR in the pros) Sounds like the QB Killa is an appropriate name to me.

Get back to me after 7 more seasons and let me know if you hate Nutt just a wee bit more.

For an SEC fan, going without football is like serving a prison term. Some of us kill time and take out our frustrations by posting here.

Other, including some players, get tattoos.

I don't love the guy as is, but I don't obsess nearly as much as Arky fans in general, so that won't do you any good. He won't be here in 7 years either, so that doesn't work out. I'm pretty sure that Nutt doesn't claim to be a "qb" coach, and he always tries to hire "qb" coaches, at least he has at OM. I don't know, I guess I just don't get the obsession...
Keep it up though. Soon the obsession will have gone 5 years, just like this thread has gone 5 pages...
