I am usually only able to go to 2 or 3 games a year as it's a bit difficult for me living in Dallas. If I could afford it I would go it every game but it's not possible for me at this time. I don't think that makes me less of a fan.

FYI….they are laughing at you guys. Not the money. You guys took down a head football coach. Congrats.

DallasHog, looks like that lobotomy finally took! When is the last time you attended a Razorback football game – 1964? Don't feel sorry for Nutt… he just walked away with some EASY money by quitting the Razorbacks that's why they are laughing! Go figure!

Wow….I've been reading some of the previous post on this blog. You should rename this "RazorbackHaters.com" No respect for history. No respect for tradition. No respect for the Razorbacks. You people are an embarrassment. Hey…I hear Phil Bennett is available (he was the HC fired from SMU). Maybe we will get him. Or Chan-freaking-Gailey. Would that make you guys happy. How about Coach Fran. Maybe Ted Roof who was just canned from Duke. Man I'm pissed off right now.

Most of you here wanting Nutt out make me want to vomit. Who in the hell is going to want to come coach here now? All it takes is some of the players Mommies and a bunch of wanna-be Razorbacks to force the coach out. The Razorback fans are the freaking laughing stock of the country right now. I currently live and Dallas and the radio stations here are essentially laughing their butts off at you morons. Today was a terrible day for the Hogs. Thanks a lot you idiots.

KOTV in Tulsa says that Houston will NOT coach the bowl game. While I'm totally in agreement that Houston needs to go, he should be allowed to coach the final game but maybe this was his choice.

Herring will coach the bowl game… oh well… I guess the streak continues!

win is a win, go ahead and believe that this was a small group of fans. However, I'm fully convinced that it wasn't. In fact, White didn't want to believe that it was but as this year unfolded, he was forced into believing that there was much more distaste for Nutt that he believe. This was the only viable option in moving forward.

As for Houston, I don't believe that he intended for this to get out of hand as it has but it did and most of the blame is squarely on his shoulders as he was digging so hard to get out of his grave it just got deeper and deeper and he didn't know what to do but dig faster.

As for Frank, he's just as clueless as he has been with dealing with EXISTING coaches.

You are correct that 10 years was more than enough to realize that Houston wasn't getting the job done. However, I'm not convinced that the soap opera wasn't enough to do him in too. Remember, Houston quit on us ONCE already!

Gonzo, I agree with you Frank Broyles created and maintain this Soap Opera for 10 years. The whole idea that we can't do better and we should be happy with these average at best results is crazy. Win, win you can continue to support Nutt at another university. People are always afraid of change but sometimes it is neccesary and this will good for Nutt and Arkansas.

win is a win, I understand your way of thinking, but you also have to consider the fact that Nutt seems to find a way to bring this redicules attention to himself, and it's not so much the fans have created a snakepit, than it is Frank Broyles creating one by letting this guy hang around for 10 years. That old saying "enough is enough" should come to mind when referring to this administration as a whole. I would say Frank is more responsible than anyone, if you want to single someone out.

GonzoHog — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 17:02:04 +0000

No doubt about it darrell, even the administration knows you can't continue with this clown and his politically correct BS. It is NOT unrealistic to want a coach to evaluate talent correctly, recruit players that will accomidate a balanced offense, and show them that you are committed to the future of the program, by using them the way you promised when you brought them in. Taking Frank out of position was the first step, and amazingly, it look's as if the second step is already in place. Mississippi made a mistake not retaining Orjeron for another season. He may not have won any games in the SEC, but he was competitive with all of the top SEC talent until a breakdown accured with the Hogs. This happened with a lot less talent than the Hogs had, and I hope the Rebels come calling on Nutt. He is what they deserve.

HOGFAN23, I don't think Nutt brought the controversy, it was a small number of so called fans that blew things out of proportion, along with Arkansas' media that doesn't have enough to report on. Coaches and players leave programs all the time due to differences in expecations. It's too bad that the player and coach involved happen to be talented; but it happens.

I agree that Nutt should be gone, but not due to the controversy, his win/loss record is enough for me. But I do think he was treated VERY unfairly by Arkansans by the constant rumor-based criticism and ridiculous cell phone record incident.

For the small group of fans and media that managed to run Nutt off, I hope you're happy. You can bet that no big name coach would want to step into the Arkansas snake pit.

Gonzo, if this is true then all of us need to rejoice. I was sitting at mother's house in LIttle Rock over the Thanksgiving weekend listening to this clown on FOX 16 talking about the Nutt Haters and how it would be exciting to play in the freaking Cotton Bowl and our expectings are too unrealistic. Get out of here man! For them to make this announcement today says alot.

With all the controversy that Nutt has brought to the Razorbacks, I think he can be credited for putting Razorback football back on the map. I'm not that old, but I can remember when we were a total joke. Even though he has totally botched some terrific opportunities, I would like to think he has had the best intentions for the players and the program.

Too bad the New England Patriots will be replacing Belichick and Brady with Malzahn and Mustain. Maybe we could've got them back after Nutt's gone.

Darrell(Hog in LA), Your not going to believe this, but Fox Sports reported at 2:00 P.M., that Nutt is out. That's right, they actually said he has been let go, and the university will make an official announcement at 6:30 P.M., CST. I hope their right. I'm sick and tired of rumors. If it's true, then maybe I was wrong about Jeff Long. Please, let me be wrong.
