Houston Nutt

[MyPoneyHurts]

would nutt be willing to take a decrease in pay to come here....i just dont thing we are going to (pardon the pun) Pony up and pay him what he gets at arkansas...

My source says that Nutt will take a pay cut.

He and his wife both love Dallas and he is looking for a new challenge.

[chiefsfan]

We need Knute Rockne, not Nutt case. Nutt's personal friends attacked Mustain last year. Vicious emails and such. And Nutt did very little to protect his player. Not much of a players coach if players can be subject to abuse by the coaches buddies. Nutt always has a couple or more players arrested for some felony. They get dismissed and the paper buries the rest of the story. Nutt has had two solid losing seasons and he wins with a classic Frank Broyles schedule of uber cupcakes.

There are many at SMU that remember recruiting the youngster Nutt. Not a one has a positive thing to say about the guy. I disagree that he is a good coach. I disagree that the players and lack of discipline in his program are what SMU wants. And I disagree that he is the man for us.

Listen Mister!

Do you know all the details of what transpired? I graduated from SMU in '98 and now I work for Tyson and live in Springdale. I have to live in the middle of this mess, and I can tell you, these people in Springdale are crazy! Everything you've posted is stuff that's been reported. What you don't hear are the attacks on HDN and his family. His wife is a very nice lady. We met them out to dinner one night at the catfish hole in fayetteville, and she was nothing but nice and very friendly. One of the friendliest women I've ever met. Coach nutt does not deserve any of this mess created by the springdale bunch. He was an easter seal arkansan of the year for crying out loud. GSH.

Adolph Hitler was once named Time magazine's man of the year. does that make him good?

I have met the Nutt family before as well. my opinion on them has not changed. I do believe that it has gotten crazy though of late and that some fans have gone off the deep end. At the same time, I would personally pay the man's travel expenses to get him out of this state

at the same time, I want to go to school at SMU, and dont want to have to deal with that for 3 more years. it is pretty certain that he will be gone after this year. Either the new AD will fire him, or he will find another helmet to love

Okay, since I am the only one here who has experienced Houston Nutt (Been a razorback fan my entire life, 2nd favorite team) I figured I would let you know what you would get with Houston Nutt

The Good

he has lost only 1 game to a non BCS school in 9 years (UNLV, 2000)
He has a winning record against Texas
He wins the conference games he's supposed to win, generally. 8-1 vs Miss State. 6-3 vs South Carolina, 6-3 vs Ole Miss.

Considered by most to be a good recruiter
Good Motivator.

The Bad

Losing Record against Kentucky. Has a home loss to Vandy recently
Good for the occasional big conference win, but often times falls flat on his face in "big games" 0-5 combined vs Florida and Georgia. 2 embarrasments against Southern Cal

He Has never won in Baton Rouge, LA, Knoxville, TN, Athens, GA, or Gainsville Fla

Not a very good play caller. Very run happy. Often gives up and plays field position rather then passing on 3rd and 10. The saying in Arkansas is that he has 5 plays in his play book. Run Right, Run Left, Run middle, Pass and Punt

Clock management at the end of game doesnt exist for him.

Does not develop Quarterbacks. Casey [deleted] has been a joke ever since he got to Arkansas. We have at least 1 game a year where our quarterback goes 3 for 17 passing with 2 picks. Big Name quarterbacks have passed Arkansas up for fear they wont get developed properly

The Ugly: (And believe me its ugly)

He has a giant ego. Quick to take credit for wins. Once took the time after a big win to talk about what wonderful plays he called during the postgame show. At the same token he will blame players for losses. Its his fault when they win, but never his fault when they lose.

He was forced to hire an offensive coordinator 2 years ago (springdale saga) Gus Malzhan came from high school and brought 4 of the best athletes the state has ever seen with him.. Nutt was clearly not happy he was forced to hire Malzhan and made life difficult for him the entire year. It finally came to a head last year when he pulled undefeated starter Mitch Mustain, for Casey [deleted] in the South Carolina game. [deleted] led the team to 3 straight losses to close the year. Mustain has since transfered to Southern Cal. And is expected to be named the Starting QB next year. Malzhan lost his play calling duties during the Carolina game as well, and has since moved to Tulsa where he is leading the 3rd ranked offense in the country

Nutt has been accused of having inappropriate relations with a female newscaster. His Wife has physically threatened to beat a players mother with a 2X4.

In addition he has been accused of illegally recruiting players for the last several year, offering promises of money and other gifts. it is believed that this will come out when he leaves Arkansas

Nutt has gone against the fan base this year, he has taken several shots at fans during news conferences, and has made several ridiculous quotes that make no sense

Nutt has been physically threatened by fans. Fans have threatened to kill the man over message boards. A fan actually attacked him at practice one day. His kids have been threatened repeatedly at school supposedly. Fans are beginning to openly boycott games. A group of us have actually paid for banners to fly before games threatening to fire the coach. There have been fights before between fans over Houston Nutt. Some fans still love him to death, Other fans want him dead.

I have no doubt that he can lead SMU to wins. But honestly I question whether or not the man has the character to lead the mustangs. I question the mans morals, his ethics, and honestly whether or not he can lead a program to the next level

Just thought you fellas should be aware with what you are getting with Houston Nutt

You're knocking a good guy, I think. He wasn't strictly run happy when he had good receivers in the past, or before they had Matt Jones at QB. If you had those kids they have now in their backfield, or Jones before that, would you run or pass? You shouldn't let a bunch of disgruntled blowhards like those Arkansas fans skew your thinking. I mean, he won 10 games last year, and the only 4 losses were to Top 5 teams!

As far as your The Ugly section, well, get the word out and get it out in 2.6 seconds flat, those are all just rumors and lies. There are those of you up north that are nothing but haters, and I think Nutt and his family have endured enough from your evil forces.

We have something to truly get excited about here, and posts like yours are worse than a trip to Debby Downer's house. Let's get on board for the 'Stangs!

Its fun when people argue with themselves. Kind of like going down the hall of the szhizophrenic wing at the assylum.

None of that stuff is true. It was all made up by a bunch of Haterz in Springdale where Mustain was from.

It was a total witch hunt.

oh I have concrete proof that every single bit of it happened. Heck the woman that sent the email to Mustain actually ended up calling in to a state wide call in show to talk about why she did it.

Houston sent her a formal letter of reprimand didn't he?

If your friend robs a store and you didn't know about it, are you guilty too?

[precious pony]

Billy Graham is a fine Christian man. I also think he would suck as our head coach. One's spirituality isn't the issue. Orsini has a far better clue as to what is the best candidate for the position. There are plenty of coaches that want a chance. SMU fits a bill for many. A new coach can expect weak competition (not a BSC conference schedule) with tremendous assets (Dallas, Texas, major media center, strong academic reputation, gorgeous girls, money, attractive campus, etc.). A perfect storm for a quick turn around. And the guy that turns around SMU looks like Knute Rockne. For many former coaches, this gives them a chance to recruit fast, make some wins (our current talent could have a winning season at this point if they were not so mistake prone) and a name for themselves and more on to m a better situation.

There are plenty of coaches out there looking for a second chance. One suspects Orsini is well aware of them. Nutt hasn't been fired and we are looking right now. Do we want to wait another month to see if Nutt is fired? And then start the hiring process? Or do we want to look now and try to improve our recruiting chances?

I don't like posting on message boards but here is the deal. My brother is a major booster with SMU. He told me that Nutt agent called yesterday about the job. Nutt wants the job bad!! Im so excited about this.

I hope he gets it. I've sort of become an arkansas fan over the last several years (you have to living here), and I"d love to see these people get what they deserve and they will miss him when he's gone. Word is, his wife really wants out of fayetteville because of all the attacks and lies. I think she would be very happy in dallas. Shes a bit high maintenance from what I hear. GSH!

Im not mad at the man because he runs....Arkansas has the best running back in college football for petes sake. Im mad because he runs even when its obvious the run isnt working

[PonySoprano]

Now I am confused. Is Houston Nutt going to be our coach? BigDaddy told me Bob Davie was going to be the man.

We need Knute Rockne, not Nutt case. Nutt's personal friends attacked Mustain last year. Vicious emails and such. And Nutt did very little to protect his player. Not much of a players coach if players can be subject to abuse by the coaches buddies. Nutt always has a couple or more players arrested for some felony. They get dismissed and the paper buries the rest of the story. Nutt has had two solid losing seasons and he wins with a classic Frank Broyles schedule of uber cupcakes.

He did. After being ordered to by the university chancellor over a month after it happened. the official reprimand did not arrive till after Mustain had transferred

Interestingly enough one of the cities that has the most angry razorback fans is actually Dallas. Huge hog fanbase down there. I wonder what kind of reception he will get at SMU

I just think there are better choices then Houston Nutt. Let him go to baylor or memphis (2 other schools rumored to be looking at him)

Well, who better to realize the way you guys have treated him? Even the poor wife of a coach realizes how badly you insane Hog fans have treated him. When you are a talent in your profession and are belittled at home, it's time to go somewhere you're wanted and where you can be proud to be. It's like you guys expect all of your coaches to be able to break wind and produce rainbows or something...
