I was given permission from him to bring this from another board.

"I read the board and it's still mostly...

about the football coaching dilemma.  As much as it pains me to say, this public lashing of Nutt by "his own fans" has caused more instability than you know.  It's almost June, we're 90 days or so from kick-off and we're still rehashing all the "stuff".  More than ever, I swear, I think "we fans" are going to be very, very sorry "we" let this go on like it has and let it become such a  National story.  Jump me if you like, I absolutely, unequivocally don't give a dang.  I'm tired of it.  I'm tired of reading National headlines about this dilemma and Not about our 1-2-3 punch in the backfield.  I'm tired of all the attention going to this "issue" and not the players.  All you darksiders that are going to jump me for this - save it.  I know who you are, I've been reading your "stuff" for months.  So save it, you're hurting our program more than you know and I'm tired of it.

At this moment, I do think Nutt and most of his staff will be gone after this SEC championship season, by his own decision.  That might make some of you happy, but I bet you won't be happy when you see how hard it is to attract a good coach and who else tells us to Kiss it and high tails out of here because the way "our" coaches get treated. 

By the way, anyone notice we have one of the best baseball teams in the country - led by one of the best baseball coaches in the country???"

Thanks for the effort but I really don't see to where this will change any minds. I've been trying to lay out facts and help those with their head in the sand for a few months now to no avail. Unfortunately, the fire of hatred is burning so wild now, it is too out of control. Some think the grass is always greener on the other side, but it will be too late when it is discovered Coach Nutt was the green pasture everybody wanted.

Accusing all of those who are critical of Nutt of hatred is an absurd generalization.  I'm sure there are some who do hate him, but there are also those huugers who "hate" Mustain, Malzahn, and Williams.  So by my count that is 3 times more hatred from the huggers.  So if I use your logic I would broadly paint all Nutthuggers as being 3 times more hate filled than darksiders, right?  So, please just stop with the name calling inuendos and tell us your so-called facts in response to which we are putting our collective heads in the sand.

It's easy to blame the fans for hDN mistakes.

It's easy to blame the fans for hDn to have 2-5 record in bowl games.

It's easy to blame the fans for losing to Vanderbilt.

It's easy to blame the fans for us losing Gus, Mitch and Damian.

It's easy to blame the fans for the lack of recruiting.

Without us, there would be no football games.

Heisman Runner up. Yes, and he's incredible. Houston "recruited" him. Remember, Hootie only wants kids that want to be Razorbacks. Why? Not much recruiting needed.

I said name calling inuendos....inuendo is the key word here. You did accuse those critical of Nutt of hatred didn't you?  In fact, you used that very word.  So, please don't act like you didn't. I was simply making the point that you should not accuse all of those critical of Nutt of being haters of Houston Nutt. Criticism from those critical of Nutt is not rooted in hatred, but it is rooted in the fact that we think he has said and done things that he should be held accountable for and overall he is not a good football coach and that the program would be better off without him.

I've only been following the Razorbacks since we switched to the SEC, because that's as far back as I remember.  (I was 7)

The years before Nutt were absolutely terrible, and we never won anything, except 1995.  Even that wasn't anything to get too excited about.

So, I would say that given the scope of my history, I think we're doing far better than we were doing before him.  I'd love a national championship every year, but that's not fair expectations.

I'll take a 10 win year every year though, and we did that last year.

One year does not a succesful coach make!!!.....

Bigdeal, how about listing the facts that would offer some sort of defense for Nutt in regards to how he handles his players? his staff? standard coaching decisions? His substandard career stats at Arkansas? His recruiting downfalls the last few years? Nondevelopment of a QB or vertical passing game?   This can go on and on.......Get off of last years record, and please look at the entire picture.

I highly doubt this came from any former player to be quite honest, and for those that say this is hurting our program need to focus more on how situations have been handled by those on the hill that can make a difference.  The ones in front of the camera and mic at UofA have repeatedly mishandled one issue after another.

This did not come from a former Arkansas player.  The guy's name is Joe and he lives in Dallas.  He played DB for SW Missouri State.  He is really close with the UA coaching staff though and does bring good info to the HI board.  Also is close to LArry Lacewell of the Dallas Cowboys and I suspect Jerry Jones.

The funny thing is that all of last year, he told everyone on HI that nothing was going on between Nutt, Gus and Mitch.  He derided those that said he was wrong. After he found out his coaching buddies on the UA staff had been lieing to him, he posted an apology on the HI board.

"Huggers" can hardly ever answer questions.  I'm willing to answer all questions. 

It seems like you don't want to even hear the answers.  If the answer is something other than what you want to hear, then it's either fabricated or spun to your chagrin. 

What's the point?  You go on being miserable with your myopic opinions, and we'll have ours.

Question:  Do you want better for the Razorback football program?

I've only been following the Razorbacks since we switched to the SEC, because that's as far back as I remember.  (I was 7)

The years before Nutt were absolutely terrible, and we never won anything, except 1995.  Even that wasn't anything to get too excited about.

So, I would say that given the scope of my history, I think we're doing far better than we were doing before him.  I'd love a national championship every year, but that's not fair expectations.

I'll take a 10 win year every year though, and we did that last year. 

I'll reserve judgment until after this year.

You'll take a 10 win season every year. That tells me all i need to know.

the goal of every SEC team outside of Kentucky and Vanderbilt should be to win the SEC championship or a national title.

Considering that we have kept a mediocre coach for almost a decade before we started "treating" him this way...I would expect every lousy coach in the nation to be knocking on our door after this.  It's been a great cushy job for HDN.

Seriously, a real coach wouldn't be afraid of passionate fans.  If he is, I don't want him.

Unfortunately you have the inability to look into the history of the program in order to not make ignorant statments such as never winning anything prior to Nutt.   The situation we were in prior to Nutt was a direct result of....uh oh(can it be a pattern)....Broyles meddling in the program with Holtz and Hatfield.  JFB made some awful choices during that time frame, and thus we went backwards somewhat.  I agree that Nutt put some fire back in the program, as I will give the devil his due, but his emotional speeches and roller coaster has worn thin.

You can only win on motivation occasionaly, but it takes planning, vision, taking chances, accepting change, focus on always learning and evolving as a coach, and never allowing ego or personality issues to get in the way of decisions that are best for the forward progress of your team.   That last one is a big hurdle that Nutt has always had a problem with!

[311Hog]

If Nutt was as focused and organized as the "Small Group of Internet Banditos" out to get him he would have won a national championship already.

[budcampbellfan]

Nutt, JFB, White, and the BOT are hurting the program - Not the fans.  When there is inept or no leadership this will happen ANYWHERE AND EVERYWHERE

This is only my opinion, but I don't think Coach Nutt is afraid at all of passionate fans. As a matter of fact, I would think he welcomes passionate fans with open arms.
Having said that, it is the fans that are intruding upon his personal life (and hurting his family) and doing things that are bleeding over into his ability to successfully recruit that has him concerned.

And you wonder why I said that.  I responded to BigDeals facts, he did not respond.  I respond to everything you say, do you do the same?  You wonder why I said those things.  Maybe now you understand

[Little E]

I was given permission from him to bring this from another board.

"I read the board and it's still mostly...

about the football coaching dilemma.  As much as it pains me to say, this public lashing of Nutt by "his own fans" has caused more instability than you know.  It's almost June, we're 90 days or so from kick-off and we're still rehashing all the "stuff".  More than ever, I swear, I think "we fans" are going to be very, very sorry "we" let this go on like it has and let it become such a  National story.  Jump me if you like, I absolutely, unequivocally don't give a dang.  I'm tired of it.  I'm tired of reading National headlines about this dilemma and Not about our 1-2-3 punch in the backfield.  I'm tired of all the attention going to this "issue" and not the players.  All you darksiders that are going to jump me for this - save it.  I know who you are, I've been reading your "stuff" for months.  So save it, you're hurting our program more than you know and I'm tired of it.

At this moment, I do think Nutt and most of his staff will be gone after this SEC championship season, by his own decision.  That might make some of you happy, but I bet you won't be happy when you see how hard it is to attract a good coach and who else tells us to Kiss it and high tails out of here because the way "our" coaches get treated. 

By the way, anyone notice we have one of the best baseball teams in the country - led by one of the best baseball coaches in the country???"

He's just mad because he didn't get enough playing time.

What's been the problem with recruiting the other 9 years?  We've yet to crack the top 20,15,10.  Expalin please.

Are you getting paid for every word on here?  What has happened in his personal life that has him almost at the bottom in the SEC in recruiting since being here.

Its our fault the man is the worst recruiter in the nation!!

[Kilgor]

The fans didn't cause this.

The fans didn't refuse to fire Nutt at multiple opportune moments.


Hmm this campaign started by attacking the media until they attacked back re: Wally's "The media didn't..." column.  Now the attack is focused on fans.

Do you see the problem here?

Coach Nutt has publicly stated he is not concerned with the recruiting ""rankings", and we shouldn't be either. It is how those players are developed. He has a knack for recognizing talent in even 2 star athletes (think d-mac). Additionally, as far as I know, Coach Nutt is the ONLY Arkansas coach to sign a National High School Player of the Year. Not bad at all .

[RZRBack_FAN]

Only to run him off because mitch was better than he was.

its obvious Nut isnt concerned with the recruiting rankings.! Kinda like he isnt concerend with winning bowl games and Sec Championships.

By the way DMAC was a 5 star!!!! Not 2 star. You guys get smarter and smarter!!!

[VBHOG]

I don't know if the original poster on that thread knows it or not, but the "former player" he was quoting is NOT a former Hog player, but played at Southwest Missouri.  His opinion doesn't matter any more than yours or mine.

I posted this here so that it wouldn't get lost in the other thread.  I don't want people speculating about which "former Hog player" made the comments since it wasn't a former Hog player.
