Nutt to simplify offense

[cbjagman]

It's sorta like the person next door hiring the same builder you just fired to build their house. You try to warn them of the builder's slipshod methods but all they want to hear is the lip-service from the builder about how some people aren't ever satisfied.

Good analogy; however, if we're talking about Hooter we have to throw in how he was totally misunderstood and mistreated by the person firing him.

[Reaganite]

He wants them on "automatic pilot", so that he can get back to more important things....like texting.

Can't believe he wants to use airplane analogies.   

[eathill5]

I think they are going to pain arrows on the field like they have on playstation.

[Eddie Piggard]

Danny's going to be calling the plays from the booth.

nope, danny at the sonic getting ice cream!!!!

Danny's going to be calling the plays from the booth.

He's gonna be calling DTS from the booth.

I'm really curious to which play Hootie was signalling in from the sideline late in the game when he was giving the univerisal "help me I'm choking sign" quickly followed by the universal "something stinks sign" of holding his nose.      I saw it on the TV and just burst out laughing.   I couldn't believe it.  How classic can you get?   And absolutely priceless.    Surely someone here has the video of the game and can snag a screen shot or short video.   

[BigoBoys]

Simplify, Does this mean that they will kneel down on each play?

After listening to the audio, I'm not sure he even watched the game!

I saw it live and it wasn't just Nutt.  He had half the sideline doing it.

Several folks around me were laughing their anii off, wondering if they would see his "lobster claw!"

That didn't take long.  "Let's simplify the offense, so I can call the plays".

you beat me to it !!!

[razorbrass]

Nutt to simplify offense.... hmmm....  how long until he just punts on first down?

That's a bold strategy Cotton, lets see if it works.

[socalhogcaller]

Snead will end up challenging for every record Eli has at Ole Miss. Why are you so concerned for him anyway? He has looked good so far.

He did look good.  No, he won't challenge even a few records that Manning set at Old Piss. Nutt will see to that.

[Justifiable Hogicide]

Does Ole Miss even smell a rat yet?

Watching this from a distance is so much fun.

[Jim Harris]

They almost beat a Top 20 team on the road. The reason they lost was because of their defense. And they want to simplify the offense?

Their defense will never be any better than it is now.

Is Austin on the sideline or in the booth?

If he's on the sideline, then you have to ask the Ole Miss fans, "If Austin is calling the plays, why is Nutt giving the signals to Snead?"

[pitbull1]

"Now son, I'm calling these plays, I want you to hand off to the left, to the right, and up the middle.  We have to simplify this offense.  Understand!!!  That thing where the ball goes in the air, won't work in this league.

[razorbackkid]

Another banner day for ol' Houston.  He just messes me up.
Good catch.

[Reaganite]

Oh no.  You got it all wrong.

Here's how he'll do it when speaking to the media:

"I told Austin he could call any play he wanted, as long as the running back got three plays.  One to the right, one to the left, and one up the middle, on every series.  That leaves Austin a fourth down play to either fake it or go for it.  Ya know it's hard, real hard, to be a young offensive coordinator in the SEC.  We just want Austin to keep the bus between the ditches.  Once Austin gets used to using two chinstraps on his playbook, we might let him throw occassionally on 3rd down.  Ya know though, there's nothin' like a smoke draw there, so maybe we'll go ahead and call that instead."

Ain't it though!

[Tusks]

I'm telling ya......a monkey with a whistle.

[Blue35]

Ain't it though!

The rat will get more nervous as time goes on. Ole piss will definitely pick up the odor shortly.

[oldman1015]

100 % of practice will now be devoted to the run

hate nutt or not that is just not true. not even nutt would spend 100% of practice on the run. probably more like 98%.

[HoopS]

Talked to an OM friend just now.  He brought up the loss and I brought up this quote.  He hadn't heard it yet.  I told him I know they like Nutt, but he'll frustrate the heck out of you.  He said "like is a relative term.  Yes we like him."  We said bye and as he walked away he turned and finished with "of course, I would say I liked Jeffrey Dahmer if I had to chose between he and Hitler."

[hog_fan]

Do any of you people read. The dork and Austin both said before season began Nutt would call plays. I'm sure Austin had some input, but I look for Nutt to listen to it less and less as year goes on.

The real question is will the dork repeat his mistake of screwing over Austin like he did Gus. Rebel fans love the guy and I read some want him as next coach so I guess they think the dork is preparing him.

If nut thinks Austin is more popular than he is or is even a threat to be, nut will compete with Austin.  That competition will not be fair.  Austin will be handcuffed and could decide to leave, per Gus.  It will be interesting to see what develops.

[TexHog188]

Do the other coaches refer to OC Austin as "Old CFL".

[pitbull1]

Then after the draw play, to fool them he'll go right back to it!!!

[cbjagman]

I listened to the audio and was shocked to hear: "you can't have the turnovers and give them a gift( at least a half dozen times)", "they (OM) played with heart"," it wasn't just the defense, it was the offense; the whole team lost the game for us (as usual, no mention of the coaching staff)". Nice to know that in this world there are some things never change. The continuity of Hooter's comments is a major stabilizing force in nature!

I seen that too. When he does that it's two plays.

1st is hold nose then rubbing top of head. That is the Wild Rebel sweep to the outside.





2nd hold nose then hand around neck. That is the Wild Rebel run up the middle.

[hillhog]

nope, danny at the sonic getting ice cream!!!!

Dork has taught Danny how to text so he can dial in the plays between slurps on his cone at Sonic.

[jj202020]

I just read that article for the 3rd time.  Still hilarious.

Color me surprised.

I really think he is miming foreplay with Donna B.

Monkey with a whistle.... that's the best description I've read in a while.

[Gus the head hog]

Draw play on first and second down pass on third and long.

[Sivad]

Looking at those ridiculous pictures of that reprobate, you just have to think the scalped price of Ole Miss tickets are going to be in the stratosphere.

[farmhawg]

They canceled his texting plan and he is signaling Donna.

Classic Nutt!   Thank you!!!   

[idochog]

Did we really have this monkey for 10years?

[Feralhog]

Maybe Snead developed a throwing shoulder?

[Albert Einswine]

It's Nutt doing what he does best...  CHOKING!

[usnavyhogfan]

wow those pics are priceless! I love makin fun of the hoofer. +1 to who took the time to get those pics

[oldbear]

One of the funniest things I have read in a long time.

[jbbrann]

Technically, he is performing auto-erotic asphyxiation.

"We want to be a much better running team," Nutt said.

Let's see...  there's that one pass blocking scheme that worked so well at Arkansas,  dive right, dive left, smoke draw, and the WILD REBEL.    Snead may as well transfer now.   

Does this mean they won't run sweeps every 10th play? Just straight up the middle every time now?
