Dale let every QB on the bench play before he finally let Matt Jones get a snap.


Now this did happen. I remember they put a little qb in, I think his name was Washington, and tried to run the option to no avail against UNLV. The offense was so bad I left the game early and on my way out two men leaving in front of me were talking and said if they’re going to run the option then why not use Matt Jones. They were right.

He did the same with McCluster at ole miss, taking too long to figure things out.

He definitely had his faults.

LSU fan here, I always thought Nutt was a pretty good coach.

That was in 2001 when Arkansas started 0-3 in SEC play. Nutt panicked and finally let Jones play.

His first TD was a 65 yard down the sideline against Weber State.

They didn't want the Hogs recruiting off a big win so they tanked a bowl game to Mizzou and the Lil Tigers still get a wet spot in their panties every time they get to talk about beating McFadden in the Cotton Bowl.


This fanbase has so many excuses.


Mizzou was the #1 ranked team right before playing Arkansas but yes, the only reason won was because Arkansas “threw the game”.

These mother frickers lol

Always got a laugh out of Nutt saying, "Special Teams be special!"

Arkansas fans suffered from Houston Nutt fatigue syndrome.
