What jobs would Nutt consider leaving for?

[LSUFan]

Y'all are missing the point, Houston is obviously a texting pimp.

The Bunny Ranch, Carson City Nevada.

[GrumpyHog]

Auto Master

[softserve]

Motivational Speaker

He could live in a trailer down by the river.

Houston Foley!

He's been downstairs drinking coffee for the past 4 hours. Treat him like there is an audience here.

Didn't Matt Foley live in a van down by the river?

"Well la di frickin da"

[OTTER]

Sam Houston Institute Of Technology.  Then when he turns the program to schiest, it will be ok.

[ErieHog]

The plausible:

HDN's Hogs have a good season; he's offered more money and a lateral move to a Clemson type school.  With the pressure, expectations, and general anti-Nutt atmosphere, he goes.

HDN's Hogs have a bad season; he gets fired.   He takes a lateral move with a lower salary at a lesser BCS conference school (think Purdue,  TAMU, Rutgers if Schiano bolts).

Hogs have a middling season, enough to retain his job but alienates himself from the new PTB in the Athletic Department;  he bolts for a WAC or MWC school that is in good shape for the next couple of years, with better pay (TCU if Patterson bolts, BYU if their coach bolts, etc.)

[philobeddoe]

If Nutt does decide to hit the road after collecting his annuity, as some have speculated, where do you think he might go?  Some of the e-mails from the Nutt Army/Posse indicated that he felt he was above certain jobs, such as NC State, but was open to places like Miami and Alabama.  Where do you think he would actually be willing to go?  And what places would be willing to hire him?

I got news for him.  He better resign himself to places like NC State because Alabama and Miami don't want him.

I am not a darksider by any stretch of the imagination, but Fresh is right about this statement.

[Vandyhog4]

Quarterback coach at USC

Oh wow... what a freakin' wonderful prank that would be for Pete Carroll to play on Mitch & Damian... I can hear the laughs and "gotchas!" already.

I'm thinking he could take over at Texarkana (AR) High.  He could keep on loving that same helmet pretty much, right?

Oh God Noooo.  We have a coach with integrity.  One that has figured out how to complement a powerful running game with the forward pass.  One that has already done something Nutt hasn't...won a championship (granted it is a watered down 6A).  Though Keopple was on Nutt's staff at one point, I'll take him over DMW anyday.

[BigDrDon]

  Who could we pay to take him off our hands?
 Maybe Miss.St. 

[hogSGreer]

Iowa State or Baylor. Although, Baylor may not hire him since he's known for texting. On the other hand, Nutt is a Baptist.

I'm in grad school right now at Baylor and I have thought before that Nutt would do well here for several reasons.

1. The fan expectations here are minimal. 

I have described my attitude about Arkansas football to some of the friends I have made here as "Ok, we won.  Whose next?  There's no time to lollygag with a SECCG still to be won, and anything less will be a disappointment." There answer is, "That's why I like football at Baylor.  We don't win much, so we can savor each victory unlike you(Arkansas), Texas and A&M.  You guys just expect to win, so when you do it's no big deal, but if we were to win those games there would be pandemonium."

A guy in my office said that he is sick and tired of Baylor almost getting to a bowl.  I told him I would be sick and tired of a crappy bowl being the highest goal.  If Nutt took Baylor to a bowl win or just got them to two in a row, they'd probably rename the stadium after him.

2. The fan participation is minimal.

The atmosphere at the games is like a well attended high school game.  If Nutt did poorly and no body showed up, no one would notice because Baylor only puts effort into getting the freshman involved.  (Reserved seats at the front of the student section and "hold your hand" instructions" through a loud speaker)  On the other hand, a slight increase in wins could make a huge impact on getting the general public into the stands.

There is no real Baylor sports call-in show.

The message boards there are seem to have the same "whatever we get is fine" attitude as the people on campus.

3. Nutt knows how to coach a running game.

Baylor had 482 yards on the ground in 2006.  Guy Morris has his team airing it out to a fault, and they lost several close games last year because they could not get five yards rushing on a single play. But they sure can throw a lot and kick he crap out of 1-AA North Western State and Rice.  The fans would quickly get over their curiosity over this bizarre hand to hand transference of the football when they win a close game or two.

I have others, but I should probably get back to work at the school instead of bad mouthing their fans.

[BigDrDon]

 
A move to Baylor would raise the average IQ of both schools LOL

[Nutts and Bolts]

I have an opening in my company for a delivery driver... But I am a hard ass to work for so I am not sure it would work out...Mediocre work is not acceptable here.

[SC Hogman]

Duke!  A Duke fan told me that they would take him because they have no expectations!  Win one game would be a great season!

[Cale]

Air Force, Navy, and any other Run happy team.

lol i was thinking this exactly

[coach, my back hurts]

Teeter Chevrolet

"The deals are sweeter at Teeter"

[txrzrbk]

Nutt won't leave because of a better job offer - he is damaged goods.  What university wants a leader with his qualities?  Remember Mike Price at Alabama? Here was a good coach who actually knows how to coach major college offensive football.  He reallydid get caught with his pants down (lol).  But, I think most universities would rather have someone like that than a man who harrasses 18 year old kids.  Nutt's actions won't play out anywhere else in this day and age except at Arkansas.  I am sure I will get smited for my feelings.

[hawgtusky22]

RICE!

[Smokehouse]

Sam Houston State, LA Tech, Baylor, New Mexico State, Uath St ect

FIRE NUTT.

A lot of my family members are New Mexico State alums, don't you put that evil on us, Delta Boy, don't you put that evil on us

[Cartoon Man]

Anywhere , as long as he has phone privilges.

[fullfan]

Probably get out of Football for a year and head up Promise Keepers or FCA.   Then again you can't rule out some type of charity organization.

[TR1]

Become an ACTOR. Star in the COACH series.

[jrparrish]

Mitch Mustain's towelboy

[One Bad Boy]

comedian- JOKE

[hogsanity]

The only ways he leaves for another job are

1.  They throw an absolute ton of $ his way or

2.  The UA tells him it would be in his best interest to find another job, any job.

Other than that he isnt going anywhere.

Here is a misconception I see often.  Few people outside of the fans of the Razorbacks actually think Nutt was involved in the emails.  They think the Springdale kids were all the problems.  I don't agree with that line of thinking, but that's the way it is and why 10 wins would open up a lot of doors.  HDN is only damaged goods in the minds of their fans.  Not saying that's right, it's just the way it is.

[MJ2]

Missouri, GA Tech, Colorado, FSU are likely

[67Hog]

I wonder if Jeff Long could pull some strings at Pitt?

[BCRavens]

Hog.Goblin, your right on. What I have seen is that most everywhere else in the country, we (the fans) are viewed as the problem, along with the Springdale kids. HDN is viewed positively everywhere else, including everywhere else in the SEC. I don't think his "character" will have any bearing on where he takes his next job.

Someone earlier said LSU and I believe that could very well happen. Les Miles is going to Michigan when Carr is fired, and I suspect HDN will be listed as a candidate, interviewed and might even get the job. If you remember a while back, Nick Saban was asked who he would recommend to replace him at LSU and he said Houston Nutt. They seem to like him down there.

[LZH]

I think either Ole Miss and/or Mississippi State would hire him if they continue to suck this year....just a thought.

[MountieDawg]

AAF-- Automatic Auto Finance Sales Manager!!!   But if you want to buy a car from him you must love the helmet on the side of your car!!!  He could get a lot of free advertising on 40/29 tv from the news anchor!!!  Plus no FOIA on the car dealership!!!  The only thing keeping him from being successful at it, is he will not stay in contact with the customers... he willl spend all evening hours working with news anchor to work on his charity work!!!

[Call Mr. Sow]

5-10 games? So you think he stays if we go 5-7? Is that what you're saying? LOL.

The sad thing is, there is plenty of evidence that he could win only 4 games this year and still be retained.  I'm not convinced there is any result that will ever lead to him being fired.  I used to think that was just paranoia on my part, but I've yet to see so much as a harshly-worded questionnaire slid across the table towards Nutt since he's been here.

[hawgdog2005]

who gives a flying flip just as long as he leaves

[Choctaw Hog]

As much as some folks seem to hate him, I can understand the thinking (hoping) he has to go down several notches.
But realistically, he will most likely move up or at the very worst what might be considered a lateral move.
Another realism - no matter what, he is going to be making more money than 99.9% of the posters on here, me included.

so ya think 260 posters on here make more than Houston?

LOL.  Good one. 

[V. V. Hawg]

Club cleaner at Augusta National.  Where his meal ticket to mediocrity will be most of the time.

[Lady Hawg Buff]

Nutt will have to be forced out....but if he is, Paw-Paw will beg Jerry Jones to open up a position for him....so after pressure eventually nutt will be hired as Director of Custodial Staff for the new Stadium. 

Yeah, if D'Mac goes to Dallas, that will put the icing on the cake for Nutt as Director of Custodial Staff, but then again, he's not good at cleaning things up, only at dirtying things up.

[Michael Porkleone]

I have a question...has anyone found concrete evidence of an annuity or is that just a BS rumor?

[ErieHog]

I have a question...has anyone found concrete evidence of an annuity or is that just a BS rumor?

The annuity itself is written into the contract.  What the terms of an early buyout of the annuity entail is not.

[FWF79]

He could easily get a job running the route cleaning the blue porta shtters. He is a professional at trying to cover things up and very accustomed to the smell of BS

[rtom]

nutt could apply for the job of table wiper at mickey d's...he wont be at a major university (other than arkansas) very long..he would get fired after three years

[WilsonHog]

Both Mississippi State and Ole Miss would likely love to have Houston Nutt. Never happen, though, because he would see those jobs as beneath him.

Misconception?  Do you really think a major university doing a job search for a coach will not do a background check.  All it takes is the fact that he was involved in the controversy and that will be enough to put him in the retread pile.  Any one doing a background check will certainly realize by Nutt's own comments that the man has some serious character flaws.

[porkurina]

Folks outside the state may say they think the Springdale bunch were at fault but if the Nutster was considered for their school they probably would do some checking. I think words like "not a team player", "love the helmet", "cancer to the program", "don't want to be part of the team", bagagge, emailgate, boosters involvement, wife's words, family friends,... will show that they may need to rethink his hire.  IMO he will NEVER  be hired at one of the bigger schools.
When he goes it will be like Holtz.  He'll say he needs to step down for his family then take a job at a lesser school.  I also think Danny will be cured and hired as the running back coach.

I'm not sure that I can agree with you on this one.  For example, if he is viewed positively elsewhere in the SEC, then why did the Bama fans seem so upset that he was mentioned as a candidate for their job?

[Qbackinman]

anywhere they love the helmet.

You are right.  Remember when UALR hired Wimp Sanderson after the sexual abuse scandal at Alabama?  Schools at the UALR level have standards at about the same level as the Arkansas Medical Examiner.  Nutt can only go down.  Damn lucky if he goes laterally (which would be some place like Iowa State, which is still down when you consider history and tradition).

Since when does a background check include asking fans what they think?  Do you think ADs will check Hogville?  Nothing involved in a background check would involve character issues with HDN.  There was a lawsuit, yes.  It was thrown out (and was deemed frivolous) and then the attorney was later charged with contempt of court.  You have text message logs that don't reveal anything concrete.  Only possibilities.  You have prized recruits that left, but the national media has blamed the Springdale kids and the fans.

This background check would involve talking to UofA administrators and coaching peers, both of whom would speak highly of HDN.  He has received high marks from people such as Saban and Coker.  IF, and that's a big IF, he wins 10 games and continues to have sellout crowds then schools are going to assume the fans support him.  The fewer games he wins the more likely a character issue comes up. 

FWIW, you may remember that one of the big reasons we didn't hire TT was a potential character issue...we blew that one.

And don't think I hold these beliefs as my own, I don't.  This is what those outside our fan base believe to be true (and a decent portion of our fan base I might add).  I clearly think he has character issues (as well as coaching issues).  But I am biased because I have a passion for the program.

I don't think any major programs would consider him because he simply doesn't have the record...regardless of his character.  Bammer thinks they are still a major program (and may be on their way back to one).

[Hoggish1]

Nutt has no options that'll pay him anywhere near what's he making.  I say treat him like you would any other employee who's not getting it done and let him worry about it. 

After this year, Nutt will never work in Div. IA again.

Big difference, ole Winfrey admitted to a 15 year affair with a university employee then allegedly punched her in the face.  There was a related lawsuit which settled out of court for potentially big monies.

HDN allegedly shared his manstick with an unrelated party (to the UofA) and no one has confessed to it.  An unrelated lawsuit was tossed out.

Not defending his character, just the perception of it by outsiders.
