You must not remember his time at Ole Miss with the Murray St Mafia.  He was taunting our players in one game while acting like a buffoon.  No Thanks.

He should have gotten kicked off the sidelines at RRS one time while coaching here for taunting an opposing player.

Why are some of you obsessed with filling his staff for him? And why does it always have to be some recycled Razorback twice removed?

I see everyone scrambling on twitter begging him to keep Lunney.  Who cares?

It's his staff. His job depends on winning. Not ours.

I am eager to see who he does hire but I am not gonna spend countless hours researching who he should.

"Shibest groomed running back Felix Jones into the SEC Special Teams Player of the Year at Arkansas in 2007." Comedy gold right there.

BigSexyHog

This is a tough one.  Dude is a hog and gave everything he could give to this program.  Hitched his wagons to Nuttsack and get carried away with a few things.  That stunt he pulled at LSU still irks me to this day.  I guess is CCM thought he was good enough to help and make this a better program and team I would buy into it.

That's like the 5th time you said someone you knew dared you to post something. That's horse darn. Don't fall for peer pressure and let them post stupid stuff if they wanna be trolls. Not a good look for you.
If there's one thing any of you should know as hog fans, brace yourself for disappointment and never get your hopes up.

If you don't care enough, why don't you just mosey over to Jonesboro and root for them?

So let me get this straight.
You guys have welcomed the Aggie with open arms but would not allow a Razorback great who lost his cool while coaching a rival school to return home? That's a head scratcher

No one and I mean no one with connections to Houston Nutt should be allowed any where near the University of Arkansas.  With the stuff they pulled and acted here and their actions while at Ole Miss. That group of classes hacks should be blacklisted.
