Finally back from Los Angles and a little bird informed me along the way

[Lanny]

That Coach Vaughn is not the recruiting coordinator and hasn't been for quite some time.  Actually at the moment Arkansas doesn't have a recruiting coordinator...............Nice.

[Flatline]

I guess that should have been obvious to us after Saturday night.

[Bomis Hawg]

Great organizational skills.  Maybe that's why they let Ealy roam free.  No one to organize things.

[JJHog]

let me guess, Coach Nutt is trying to do that, too.

perfect candidate for burnout

[Hog Bounty Hunter]

Don't know about that but I do know they don't have coordinated recruiting.  I guess Nutt has taken that job over along with OC and head bottle washer.

[Swino]

Welcome back.  Maybe that is why we haven't had a commitment for such a long time.  And let me tell you, there won't be any for while with the way we are playing.

[Buck Ocean]

Don't know about that but I do know they don't have coordinated recruiting.

This has got to be the most logical post in modern history.  I heard that Bogus Otis took the reigns.  Operating our of Elkins via Fayettenam.

[Biggus Piggus]

Nutt coordinated recruiting during Pugh's last season too.  By the end Pugh didn't have much to do at all.

Before long, I'll be surprised if they are still recruiting, period.

[Flatline]

There will probably be some are uncommitted before it is all over with .

[Razorod]

What really concerns me is that this staff will quit recruiting if they haven't already. another reason to go ahead and make the call after the Bama game if it goes anything like the USC game.

[Anti-OtisII]

There is an obvious answer for this scenario.......it is becoming painfully obvious to almost everyone now (with a very few hold outs) that the talent level (especially on defense) of our recruiting over the last few years has been NO WHERE close to where it has needed to be to compete in the SEC.  Therefore, this lack of a "recruiting coordinator" is nothing more than another EXCUSE being floated out there to buy additional time for this coaching staff.  This is just another excuse similar to the one that was floated out there a few years ago when our special teams were continually fricking up......"Well, you know we don't have any one particular coach specified as the Special Teams Coordinator." (i.e. No one can be fired for doing a ** job with the special teams because we all shared in those particular duties.)  The simple answer to this is "FIRE EVERY FRICKIN ONE OF THEM" and start with the Head Coach because he is the ONE RESPONSIBLE for organizing the coaching staff and delegating duties between his staff.   

[Swino]

Houston is a master at politics, he is working very hard on saving his job, not recruiting.

[SuperHog]

After watching the trainwreck that was Sat. night/Sun. morning, I don't see much if any coordination in any aspect of the football program

[THROWITDEEP]

I agree!

Houston is a master at politics, he is working very hard on saving his job, not recruiting.

[hog caller]

coordination won't help if we keep getting the same skill level athletes

i'll call the hogs til i die but good grief charlie brown

[Jim Harris]

he'll dream up some new cloud for us to be under. the "70-17" cloud, and Phil and Franchie are stealing our ineligible JUCO recruits because of it.

damn, you may be right, especially since I've heard it from someone too and that someone is close to HDN. THe recruiting outside of Mustain is sucking, as I suspect,  so let's just say that we don't have a recruiting coordinator now and that defends it.
Doesn't surprise me now at all.

[WilsonHog]

I figure there's another angle to this as well.

Nutt figures there will be hell to pay over the recruiting miscues, and he doesn't want to have Chris Vaughn, one of his Murray State boys, take the heat for it.

They'll all take the heat for it....they'll all be fired by end of season.  No one (Broyles, White, Lindsey, et al) is so stupid as to accept this kind of bumbling, stumbling, excuse-ridden operation of a football program that brings in millions of dollars each year.

It's either Nutt gone or a lot of fans and interest gone. I'm putting my money on Nutt being the loser.

[Anti-OtisII]

By the end of the year we'll have players hating players and coaches, coaches hating each other, and everyone hating Nutt.  Mark my word.

We don't have to wait for the end of the year.   I think we already have players hating coaches and at least some strong dislike between coaches.  Herring is not the answer nor could he ever be when he is forced to work with complete bumbling idiots on this staff.  I'm not sure his style could work with this team anyway, but I doubt he is getting any support from the assistants under him (which aren't really under him) when you have everyone running back to "daddy" to complain.

HIM, you are right.  Nutt will be the loser at season end.  Two back to back losing seasons, the poor recruiting classes, and the downward spiral that he has caused at The U of A will spell his doom come November.  Why don't people stop the conspiracy theories and look at the cold hard facts?

Nutt is gone.

[Oklahawg]

The start of recruiting was solid. Seven plus-skilled recruits. A couple of problems popped up in the process of getting to two-a-days, when recruiting/committing almost shuts down for a while.

Problem #1: we were recruiting towards a target of 14-16 commits, withholding offers on a few worthy candidates too long. These are guys that would have committed and allowed the staff to focus on other players. Now, we are having to stand toe-to-toe with folks and swim upstream at the same time. Not a good combination.
Problem #2: we thought we had a number of problems "solved" on the field and they are not. We have virtual empty sets at CB and S on the wish lists. Year 3. We are scrambling for TEs. Year 4. What originally looked like an OL getting itself in order is now, once again, perilously thin. Year 8. We are now scrambling for impact DT, the scarcest commodity out there. Year 5.
Problem #3: HDN has a track record of quitting recruiting to try and stop on-field concerns. Witness the shutdown of recruiting in the 0-for-Octobers. Now, we are faced with a virtual 0-for-September and 0-for-October. Yikes.
