Frank has been on the Foundation board since it began. He is Dicus' boss. A power struggle between the foundation and the athletic department would be unheard of. ONly at Arkansas. Can you believe that guy was able to sell himself as the savior while building this disfunctional smelly mess? Quite an accomplishment. I can't wait to see the next act.

stick if what I have been told is correct. I understand Chuck

Dicus has hired him (after Janurary first) to work for the

Razorback Foundation. If that's the case, Frank will still

control alot of the benefactors. I can not help but believe that its going to get real ugly up there before the dust settles. The

University can not tell the Razorback Foundation what to do.

It is a private entity separated from the school.

I will be SHOCKED if he drama queen is given another year. A coaching slot in the SEC at a school as good as Arkansas is a coveted job. How could you leave the queen here another year to twist in the wind? Maybe he will have to delay his resignation until his turn comes in the line of falling dominos but someone will have to explain the logic of letting the bleeding continue.

White shows all signs of being a weasel. I fear we are only tradeing one devil for another.

King: Call on Nutt belongs to White

Most Hog fans are wondering; will Chancellor White have the courage and insight to own up to where the buck stops or will he back out like a "doodle bug" and choose to retreat to less controversial decisions? White is no longer held hostage by threats from Broyles to pull his vast numbers of school benefactors away if Frank couldnt call the shots on just about everything. The faithful are urging Chancellor White to do the right thing and clean up the mess that years of looking the other way have caused.

On another note: RE: "Bob"

I can't know which limb of the Nutt family tree you are swinging from but look around and notice that it is Fall and the Nutts are falling from the trees. thank you

decided to get personal with me and start the name calling.

I am one who will admit when he has made a mistake in

judgement about someone. And last night, after a long visit and talk with a lilfelong friend I haven't visited with in some

five or six years….my eyes were opened concerning one

HDN. This friend, who is in the coaching profession and knows HDN and his brothers, said that the Nutts are self

serving, self consumed people who will do anything and

cut any throat to accomplish their agenda. He went on

to give me some examples of things (small as individual

occurences) that have added up over the years and have

really caused problems in the lives and careers of others.

I place enought confidence and faith in this person who shared this with me that I have to take a different and new

approach to the way I view and defend HDN

I will not back off my statement that Arkansas has never been able to recruit with the upper level teams in the SEC and that Gus needed to start in college ball where he is now…at a minor conference school. Gus was cast into the fire and used when he wasn't ready…and also was not allowed to coordinate the offense…was that not his so called job they gave him?

Anyway…sorry you guys got down to the name calling against me… I do, however, have to step back and admit some wrong in my assessment of HDN.

Here's a question of a related subject? When Coach Broyles (whom I respect) is gone and the new guy( who I understand will be a pawn for chacellor) takes over…How much grief will be caused when the "school" tries to control the Razorback Foundation. Granted, the Foundation has to do with the University of Arkansas but not a penny of state

money has been spent in years. Will the Jerry Jones', JIm Lindseys and others balk at U of A control?

As to "Houston's downfall" – you and he seem to be of like mind – finding something else to blame.

I personally think we can compete in the SEC at the top level. I really don't buy the idea that we can only be mid-tier. Look at the top 25 teams of the past few years. If teams are limited by their history then how did Bosie State, Louisville, and Virginia Tech ever get any good? How is it that Miami can alternate between really good and terrible? There's got to be more to it than what hindsight tells. I've been following Razorback football since the mid-60's. I'm realistic, but I'm not going to rationalize expectations just to make Houston Dale appear a better coach.

Maybe Houston does not care for things of the world or maybe he just tells his agent to make sure he gets a piece with his annuity and annual 1 million plus. You can't know another mans heart, only by his back stabbing self first ways. Oh, did I say that out loud. Is this a sports board? Or just some place for old men to chat?

After that, if we can find a coach who will talk straight instead of passing off shit as shineola, that would be good.

A lot to ask, I know, without a degree from seminary.

I noticed that you sidestepped the questions about the wife. Certainly none of us want to look too closely at the old home life.

You may talk me into switching sides and giving Houston another 2 year pass based on all the trouble that Gus and Mitch and Mitch's Mom have caused. But, I think that you are right. It is time for Dale to move on to where he will be truly appreciated. I think Baylor is perfect.
