Nutt climbs to #2 in CoachesHotSeat.com update; Blog predicts Hogs losing season and TT as new coach

[mathhog]

These guys are usually pretty brutal, but pretty good at having a good read on reality.  I'm not sure I agree with the 5-7 prediction, but who knows.  Nutt was named one of last weekend's coaching "disasters".  Notre Dame's Charlie Weis is #1 on the hot seat.  Lots of SEC coaches fill the ranks as well: Auburn's Tuberville at #5, Ole Miss' Orgeron at #7, and Tennessee's Fulmer at #8 (yes Fulmer won a national championship, even without an under construction period)

LOTS of interesting stuff to read if you are a CF junkie.... pay attention to the big chart, the first link.    One thing of note:  a coach that was in the top 5 hot seat that has 'improved' all the way until 20?   Miss State's Croom.  I really think MSU is going to be better this year than expected.

Best line about Nutt:  Does anyone really believe that this guy isn't as good as gone come Thanksgiving?

L. Carr at 19?

[mathhog]

L. Carr at 19?

Too high or too low?

I'd say that's about right.  So they lost 2 in a row, I'd be surprised if they didn't end up with 9 wins after the bowls at least.

[hayesnjess]

TT, no way.  SEC coaches don't go from one team to another in conference with out a NFL appearence.

[mathhog]

TT, no way.  SEC coaches don't go from one team to another in conference with out a NFL appearence.

He won a nat'l champ a few years ago at Auburn didn't he, or tied for one.... I would think the BOT would take him if Nutt didn't come back on his own and somehow TT wanted to come here.

Not saying I agree with it, just saying, we would take him (by we I mean BOT)

[jaredhoyt]

Wow. Who knew Todd Graham was making more over at Tulsa than Nutt is in the SEC.

[WBChogfan]

TT, no way.  SEC coaches don't go from one team to another in conference with out a NFL appearence.

TT did it already.... ole miss to Auburn

Yes.  We don't need Ole Miss' and Auburn's leftovers.

Why not...  his team actually closes out games....

[scarolinahog]

TT Is a helluva lot better than Nuttless

[Dr Carl aka Shorthog]

I still think we win 8 in the regular season. Who knows though. And even though it should not be, it will probably be enough for Nutt to keep his job.

"Disaster"?

I wish that I could believe he'd be gone by Thanksgiving...but history tells us otherwise.  Nutt is here until **he** is ready to leave.

[geoffhog]

TT Is a helluva lot better than Nuttless

Auburn has lost to South Florida and Miss St.. and thats who you want?

[Oliver]

It wouldn't be Nutt's first 5 win season would it?  And he didn't get fired for the last one.

[Oliver]

TT Is a helluva lot better than Nuttless

Auburn has lost to South Florida and Miss St.. and thats who you want?

He's also had an undefeated season and been to a BCS bowl game...something completely alien to Nuttjob.

[mword]

Nutt's possible replacements, one of them is Charlie Strong (asst. Florida). He would be the top of my list.

Great choice.  Him or Brent Venables.

[hayesnjess]

Bama coughed up the cash and got a big time coach.  We should do the same.  Find the name you want and through money at him till he says yes.

[sihog]

L. Carr at 19?

Low

[taintlint]

Some of you are so naive.

This is a bad bad bad team.

They will finish no better than 8-4 but 7-5 is more of a reality......as I have said for MONTHS.

Welcome back to earth Hog fans.

[Calling All Hogs]

Weis has 8 more years on his contact with ND. They would have to pay him his weight in gold to get rid of him. Well, OK,
maybe not that much but several million for sure! 

[hayesnjess]

Just a drop in the bucket for the catholic church.

[ICEman]

No way we go 5-7.

If DMac's injury is more pronounced than reported, or if his durability is brought into question, it is conceivable that we could finish 6 and 6 or worse.

[HamShank]

I'd take Tubberville in a heartbeat.

5-7??  are you freakin' kidding me?  not a chance.  we're going to have a lot of close games like we had tonight, but our defense will improve like it always does throughout the season.  and the prediction that TT is the new coach?  no thanks.  his auburn teams have been decent, but their offense is almost as predictable as HDN's... I don't care if he's an arkansas guy or not.  if there's going to be a change, I'd like to get an ex-nfl coach who can attract the top tier recruits and run a pro style offense. 

[Panthers63]

I would take tubby in a heart beat. He is a heck of a recruiter and not a bad coach, unless you think going undefeated is bad. Come on back home to Ark!

Like David Lee?

[oldtimerhog]

I have Charlie Strong or Norm Chow.

[hayesnjess]

Major Applewhite

[Dixie Chicken]

I'll take TT for 4-5 years. He'd take the job b/c of AR ties and no JFB. I agree he coaches soft teams and can be a whiner, but he's still an exponential improvement over what we have. He'd be prefect to get the team enough credibilty and success to go out and get a respectable coach to take the job.

[hayesnjess]

Credibilty and success do not lure a respectable coach.  Ask Saban what lures a coach.

[T-hawg]

As much as I hate the Cowgirls. I would take Jason Garrett. He is a offensive genius.

Major Applewhite would be a good one as well.

OR

Gus...

Shut cho mouth!

[WILL CLINTON]

I'd take Todd Graham, Jim Leavitt, or Norm Chow,or Charlie Strong

[hoglady]

Why would any one want TT? Yes, he had one undefeated season at Auburn, but he obviously couldn't or didn't use that to make that program good year in and year out. His offense this year is just plain awful. He started ranked high last year and then tanked. I would hope we could do a lot better than that. Hell, what's Nutt's record against Tuberville? Why do we want someone who can't out coach Houston Nutt?

[ark30inf]

Tuberville would be a good recovery coach to get things back on track.

[hayesnjess]

TT has beaten Fl.  And been to a BCS bowl as well as sign Ziemba and Burns.

[jfb4ever]

Let Tommy stay at Auburn, go back to Ole Miss, or sell used cars with Houston, but not Coach at Arkansas!

[hayesnjess]

I don't really want TT, but he is a vast improvement over the status quo.

[mathhog]

Why would any one want TT? Yes, he had one undefeated season at Auburn, but he obviously couldn't or didn't use that to make that program good year in and year out.

I'm no Tuberville cheerleader, but here is his record the last few years:
11 wins, 9 wins, 13 wins.

I'd say that's a heckuva lot better than Nutt's 8 wins, 4 wins, 5 wins (ok ok we had a 10 win season not 8 but no way nutt gets credit for vandy & bama's kickers having nightmare afternoons)

[hayesnjess]

Wish we had those wins.

[beansandtaters]

Let Tommy stay at Auburn, go back to Ole Miss, or sell used cars with Houston, but not Coach at Arkansas!

You must be crazy. The man has a 75% winning percentage, an undefeated SEC season, and has done it all while coaching at Alabama's second college.

[jfb4ever]

         Do we want TT just because he is a little better than Nutt? He has done well at Auburn, but Alabama has been in the pits. TT would come because he knows he can't compete with Saban in Alabama. So do we want a coach who is afraid of Saban!

[hoglady]

Have you watched Auburn play this year? What's happenning there - no reason Auburn 3 years removed from an undefeated season should look the way they do this year. He'll be fired from Auburn if that team doesn't start playing better. If Nutt gets canned why wouldn't people want to hire someone better than him. I don't agree with hiring him just because of his AR ties. Forget that - go after the best coach that will come and open up the checkbook.

[hogsanity]

TT is just like HDN.  Blindly looyal to upper classmen, wont stay away rom the offense, and can not get top SEC talent.  Good grief his 07 class had 10 kids not even qualify.  Do not forget, JFB wanted TT.

Uh oh...hogsanity, did you just admit that Nutt won't stay away from the O and can't get SEC talent?? Did you have a come to jesus moment this weekend?

I have never said Nutt was not involved in the offense.  And No coach has gotten SEC talent, at least enough of it, to the UA.  These are common complaints about HDN.  They are also 2 things that TT des not do well either.  Why would we want him.  Also, as I said, TT was the choice of JFB.

[HogsGoneWild]

Only 1 conference win, we aren't that bad of a team.
