Arkansas was very close of finding themselves in the BCS title game against Ohio State.

Had Nutt let Malzahn do his thing I’m convinced they would have.

That season was nothing but frustrating.

Arky fans bitch about everything, even a shining bright spot in an otherwise dog shite SEC tenure

Nutt wanted Malzahn gone. He didn't want to hire him and it was forced on him by a wealthy BOT member.

Arkansas before the season began didn't have a QB. Casey Dick was recovering from a back injury. Highly rated recruit Mitch Mustain wanted to redshirt but was told no. So all that was left was Robert Johnson.

In the first game against USC at home, Arkansas was getting destroyed and Robert Johnson was awful.

So Mustain entered the game and scored the last touchdown to make it 51-14.

Mustain struggled but went 8-0 as the starter.

That changed when Casey Dick recovered and when Mustain threw a pick on the first possession against South Carolina, he was pulled out and Casey Dick took over. That was the last time Mustain started for Arkansas.

Nutt wanted Mustain gone as well. He was paranoid that Malzahn was going to take his job. Casey Dick was his QB and didn't want Malzahn to take any credit through Mustain.

The Nutt and Malzahn thing would have never worked. Both were POS and villains in Arkansas football lore.

The Nutt-Mustain drama with that reporter that came to light via FOIA was absolutely insane.

Nutt was self destructive as shite.
