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

[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.

still drunk from the disappointing loss, huh, Sanity?



Pulled out....

I dont drink, i have better things to do than spend money on something that makes people act like morons and feel miserable the next day. 

As for the TT idea, i just do not see what would be so great about it.  His teams have regressed greatly since the undefeated season.  This year is shaping up as a complete disaster for him.I just think we can do better han TT if we are indeed looking for a coach after this year.

[ChicoHog]

No way way we want TT.  He did have an undefeated team but that was only while Bama was on probation and now Auburn is on a downhill slide.  Plus with Saban at Bama he will get less recruits.  He probably would take the Hog job but i don't think he is much of an improvement.  No Major Applewhite or Jason garrett either.  We want some experienced coaches.  Maybe like BC did and get a pro assistant.  he has done very well so far.  Or an established college coach but it would take big bucks.  I think the guy at South Florida (Leavitt) is probably as good a candidate as any.  Although he is the only coach they have ever had and he has virtually no pressure there so he may not want to leave.  Patterson from TCU is another although they lost their last two games so he loses some luster. 

[HuntinHog421]

He just lost to Miss. State, why would we want that son of a bitch? That's like a micro-step up from Nutt.

[VenturaHog]

I would take TT over houston in a heartbeat but I feel like we could do better. Whoever it is needs to bring HOPE to arkansas, take our program to new heights, give us a reason to expand the stadium again.

Todd Grahm and GM would get no complaint from me...

[arkansas razorbacks]

How about Bo Pelini? the defensive cordinator for LSU?

[HogFanInTulsa]

Hell, I am going to go ask my boss MAYBE if I start acting like a idiot if I can get paid 1 mill + over the course of a year. No matter what I do still keep my job. Think hed go for it?

only if your boss knows he can manipulate you, and if you invite the boss to your office and let him make some decisions for you, oh and if your boss' name is on your building...

[bigyellowdog]

Please no TT.   I would see Charlie Strong hired as coach.

[mword]

I'd take Tubberville in a heartbeat.

I wouldn't

[DeltaBoy]

No way we go 5-7.

Oh yes it is if DMAC goes down this ship will sink faster than the Arizona.

Nuttboy is gone!

[parrishw]

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?

Here's the site's prediction, too.... whaddaya think?

"Disaster"?

I don't know what makes these guys so smart................I been predicting 5-7 for weeks and nobody has been listening.

[PaleHorse]

Butch Davis.  He's lightn' it up.

[stevenwayneslane]

I would like to have that coaching staff from Tulsa. Look what they have done already. They will put up 30 points on Oklahoma. I didn't say they would beat them I said they would put up 30 points. Now on the flip side of that I think OK will score 70 or better. Tulsa's defense is aweful. They have no size or speed on that side of the ball.

[realistic fan]

Bring in Gus Malzahn. After this year he will have so much national news for the amazing job he has done at Tulsa that he will be wanted across the country for a head coaching job. We should bring him to Arkansas and let him work his majic.

[cosmodrum]

Wow, they think we'll only beat the cupcakes. Even a loss to Ole Miss? Now, the Dork blows, but we can go better than 5-7 with the blonde guy from Queer Eye at the helm. Even our staunchest darksiders don't think he'll go 5-7.

But then again, who knows.

[WarEagle]

Auburn fan weighing in here.  Tub is not on the hotseat.  Auburn is obviously off to a surprisingly bad start, but I frequent Auburn boards and only the very fringe is even suggesting getting rid of him. 

Our biggest problems are turnovers, qb and offensive line.  Tub addressed the qb situation by putting Kodi Burns in this week, and he looked okay for his first college action.  We have a ton of young talent.

We were not expecting this to be a bad year, and we are all upset about it, but the future still looks good and we all want TT to be part of that future.

Any Arkansas fans who say they would not like to have TT over Nutt are crazy, IMO.  The only SEC coaches I would trade for are Spurrier and maybe Meyer.  I think Tub is on par w/ Richt and Saban.

[Hoggie1952]

Norm Chow would be a godsend.  I agree with the 5-7 prediction only changing the Miss schools.  I think we win with Ole Miss and lose to Miss State

Lose?  Mississippi State? In the Rock?

[major_hog_fan]

I would take TT, but I am doubting we will have a losing season this season with the schedule we have. 

[BentonHog]

What about Jim Bo? 

[anthonytkr]

Bring back GM!

[Wild Bill Hog]

TT?

No thanks.

Double no thanks.

[Wild Bill Hog]

Bring back GM!

He's no where close to ready.

[skcusnotsouh]

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

+1

[mathhog]

I would take TT, but I am doubting we will have a losing season this season with the schedule we have. 

Are you sure about that?  I know 5-7 seems a stretch, but 6-6 could happen easily.  We have 1 L already, 2 more definite 'L's (@LSU, SoCar), and only need 3 more losses out of (@ Tennessee, Kentucky, MSU, @OMiss, Auburn).  If I were a betting man I'd say 7-5 but I would NOT be surprised to see us drop Ky, TN, AND Ole Miss from that last list!!!

[ChicoHog]

South carolina a guaranteed loss!  I doubt it  Their defense is good but their offense is very mediocre.  I think it's a toss up game at this point.  we still have a lot of football to play before that game. 

[HoopHog]

Tubberville is to costly a purchase at this point in his career.

[Chad In Real Life]

If they fire Nutt and hire Tuberville thats doing nothing but making a laterall move in my opinion.
Its time to open the damn wallets and pay for quality.  Alabama did, I seriously doubt we would have to pay near 4 million to get an above average coach.

You cant tell me the Razorback foundation doesnt have the money.  Hell they would make the money back in the bowl appearances alone.

[FWF79]

I just hope the football coaching search goes better than the basketball (Altman) incident.

BTW I am not against Pelphrey, I was referring to the Gillespi and Altman saga.

um, SC is 12 in the nation.  they have young guys who get more experienced each year...  i think SC and LSU are the for sure losses

"Disaster"?

If this guy thinks that, why are we even playing this year.  We should just fold up now and crawl over to the corner of the room and cry.
This guy is obviously an idiot.  Who thinks that we are actually going to go 1-7 in conference this year.  Absolute worst case scenario would be 3-5.

[pfrg999]

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.

There's the old Taintlint's optimistic spirit that we love so much.... But you are probably right... However HDN will not have his little spot on Papa's lap after this season, well he may have it But Papa will be in the rocking chair and Jeff Long will be in the AD's office

[Swino]

No way we lose to Ole Miss, no way.

[hilljack]

...Hog fans would stay away from the next home game, Florida International on October 27.  A half-full Razorback Stadium, on Homecoming Weekend none the less will be the end...

How awesome would this be?  An empty staduim worked for the basketball program and if the season is anywhere near what the CoachesHotSeat predict, it could happen...and I think their predictions will be pretty accurate....

Bo Pelini (asst. LSU), Brent Venables (asst. Oklahoma), Charlie Strong (asst. Florida),Jimbo Fisher (asst. FSU), Tyron Nix (asst. South Carolina),

Any one of these guys would be a vast improvement.  Coaches who worked/learned from great coaches who know how to win, how to recruit and how to finish out a season.   

[LSUFan]

Will Nutt buy more second place rings now?

[PeytonManningSUCKS]

they've got us losing every sec game except Miss St.  I mean, come on, we're gonna pick up a win or two along the way.  That's just silly.  We'll lose some, but we'll dominate a couple too with our back breaking run game.  Don't call me a homer, I'm a realist in that.  7 games is about the least wins I see and hopefully that will bring Norm Chow to the fold.

[WESTYHOGS]

Major Applewhite is going to be a bigtime coach somday he might be a good fit here.He's a winner.
