He really killed our shot of having a really good season next year. I don't understand why he didn't give Gus more chances to run his offense, I mean wasn't he the offensive coordinator. Now because of Nutt's eagerness to be a hero, we are short of what could have been a great offense under Gus. Not to mention we also lost the only decent QB who could take Dick's place if injured. I call for a total reform of the Arkansas sports dept., with the exception of the track coach. My prediction for next season 6-4. Houston Nutt is a jackass.

It appears to me that we have always had meddling and appears to roll down hill. Frank is not willing to let go of Hd. coaching and Houston O.C. It's been going on since Lou was there and I guess will never change. I'm also a huge hog fan and go back to the days of the mid 60's (glory days).

There's a lot of speculation about Houston right now, from his coaching ability, to his ego, all the way up to his ability to hang on to a job, most people don't believe he deserves. But, I say once again, I always had respect for Houston Nutt, not Coach Houston Nutt. I just don't know what to think about anybody right now. All I know for sure is, I'm sick and tired of Frank Broyles.! I'm sick and tired of hype! I'm sick and tired of false promises! And last but not least, I'm sick and tired of rooting for a program, that is fast becoming the laughing stock of college football! I'm 41 years old now. I've been a dedicated hog fan since I was 9. Hate to say it, but I've had enough!! I wonder if "good 'ol Frank" has ever given thought to moving to Iraq, I here they need a new dictater there.

This is also the same guy who I have never herd place the blame on his shoulders. I speculate that even Nutt's ego has an ego... However he might be the smartest man on the plannet, who else could make 1.5 Mil a year at making excuses? Its like he majored in BS and minored in suck at OK ST and wound up making seroius coin. Maybe if I get my ego that big and make that many excuses one day I'll make half as much as he makes per year....

Not only to Malzahn, but also to top notch recruits, that would have gone elsewhere. Take Damian Williams for example. Why would this kid go to the extreme of trying to find another college to attend, knowing damn well, he would have to sit for a year, while just waiting to start over again, in a brand new system? And now, why would Malzahn jump all over the same OC position, at a different school? I am starting to believe, more and more, now, that Malzahn was lead to believe this, only for the quality of players that he was capable of bringing with him. If this is true, this would make Houston Nutt no better than your typical, low down, lying,greedy politicion. I,ve always had respect for Houston Nutt in the past., as a man more than a coach. I hope he has not gone to the point of fouling that up. Once you lose respect as a man, you might as well be dead. Come on HD, tell us it isn't true.

Nutt's first season was won with Ford's recruits. He should not have been raised to the status of Messiah for that. If he had not lucked out on Matt Jones as the 4th quarterback in what would have been the 3rd loss in 4? games in 1999?, he would have been history at that point, with a record not much better than Jack Crowe. Matt Jones single-handedly gave the Hogs 2 to 3 additional wins per year in what were largely mediocre seasons. The only consistently solid part of our game has been the Defense, which he had no hand in. I do think he has also received too much blame in the poor seasons, but it appears his ego is a factor, and it is costing Frank Broyle's his legacy. Perhaps Frank's superego will come to realize Nutt is ruining his fame and finally cut the cord. It would be great to get Malzahn back. His future is clearly bright. Very sad.

He's gone. But hey, that leaves room for Frank to give houston another fat undeserved, unearned raise. His ego has finally toppled the Razorback nation. Also, anyone who thinks a player can't get as much NFL attention at Tulsa as he can at Arkansas is living in that dream world where Arkansas is a real contender in the SEC. I would bet next year we couldn't compete in Conference USA. Go Hogs, beat yourselves. It's a little late to be asking anyone to offer more $ to Malzahn. He's gone.

I can't however say that I didn't see it coming. It probably goes back to when the parents went above HDN's head (or Gus sent them). I do however feel we've been lied to all season and I know have a better understanding why our offense did not seem to be prepared for the bowl game. Way too many distractions.

How could Houston and Frank let this happen right in the middle of recruiting. When are they ever going to get any stability in Fayetteville? It must have been excrutiatingly unpleasant up there for Malzahn to make this decision. I mean from the SEC to Tulsa....not exactly a good career move for him....or hum maybe in the long run it is if Nutt won't give him a chance to run his offense? I really expect Mustain to transfer now but I doubt it will be to Tulsa. What a mess!! The program would have been better off to let the Springdale bunch go out of state. We would have suffered for a while but in the end our program would have been better off today. And on the subject of hiring Larry Coker as offensive coordinator.....please no !!!! Coker ran the Miami program into the ground. Let's go with a young, energetic up and comer....maybe the OC from Boise State is available. Wow I just signed on to find out this devastating news.
