Jimmy Sexton selling Nutt

[go hogues]

If you were Jimmy Sexton (Nutt's agent) and you were shopping the Dale around this coming year, how would you sell him?  What pitch would you give and how would you do it?

(Remember, this guy is faced with the challenge of making coaches look their best all while making millions of dollars to do it)

Maybe he can get Nutt an endorsement contract to be the new national spokesman for Cingular.

[pigmania]

He'll love your helmet with all of his heart.

[HoopHog]

Piece of darn - $5.00!  Get it while it's lukewarm!!!

[OTTER]

Not only no warrenty, no refunds, returns, or exchanges allowed. :razorback: :razorback:

[Richard_white]

If you need anyone kicked off the team, Nutt is your man.

If you like a HC that wins more with less, Nutt is your man.

If you like a HC that plays not to lose, Nutt is your man.

If you like a HC that puts his ego ahead of the program, Nutt is your man.

If you like a HC that kisses arse, Nutt is your man.

If you like a HC that will not admit to failure and blames others, Nutt is your man.

If you like a HC that loves Moral National Championships, Nutt is your man.

[Wayne Watson]

Here's his next job....

[jackel1h]

Get him while he's hot. Low down payment. I'll even throw in a free motor home.

+1 to both.  Made me laugh...and cry.

[DEVIL DOG HOG]

If I were Sexton I would fire Nutt!

[ap89]

 hoop never mixes words ,does he....lol

[StoernerJonesFan]

Buy now and we'll even throw in a Special Teams coach...

Sorry, no COD's

[BartIV]

If you hire Houston Nutt, you will get his brother to.
2 for the price of 1, its a deal you can't pass up on.

[HoopHog]

Here's his next job....

Ain't that there the cutest piece of lukewarm crap ya ever seen?

I'm terrible about mixing words.

[LSUFan]

"He can text female reporters so fast just before an important bowl game, it just messes you up!"

[BigDeal]

I think it would be a great match for Coach Nutt to coach right in the city Sexton calls home should he decide to leave (or forced out) the UofA. 
As a matter of fact, I personally would love to see him coach the Tigers.  It is a troubled program (mid-major in football at that) that would be bringing in a big name coach (much like was done with Coach Cal).

Since I am not a tiger football fan, it doesn't pain me to say I hope they have a losing season and get rid of the Coach (West)  to pave the way for this to happen.

I didn't even realize I made a joke, good catch.

[pigqued]

He'd have a lot to brag about.

[Flatfoot]

He could be a helluva used car salesman if coaching doesn't work out.  I am Sure one of your boosters has a car lot that could use a guy like Dale.

[PIGINAPOKE]

The only one to coach on the best grass.

Gatorade to his players is important to him.

Best fence building coach in the NCAA.

Who needs a coach who can Tango? He does the best Bunny -Hop.

Can save you schoolies on tight ends and kickers.

Will save you paper on playbooks. 1 page per player rule.

[PolishPigPower]

Watch a lot of Green Acres and get tips from Mr. Haney... can't go wrong there.

[Prosciutto]

Houston Nutt is your man. He can make your team move mountains! He is a strong recruiter. He will be able to take your sunbelt team from the bottom of the conference to nearly the middle in about 10 yrs.

[Justifiable Hogicide]

You just won't believe the time he will spend on his favorite charity.

I would think Memphis would probably be the best he could get unless Mississippi State decides to can Croom and look within the conference for a replacement.

[zorbacks06]

He will kiss your arse better than any coach alive

Seriously, only Miss. State, Ole Piss, and possibly Kentucky would be his only chances in the SEC. Southern Miss may be another possibility.

This hasn't been mentioned yet, so I'll throw this out as possible selling points.
1. 2007 SEC West Champions
2. 2007 SEC Coach of the Year

Yeah, BAC is building a new trophy case for those.

[Boardon Hamsay]

In all seriousness, Sexton will earn his percent if he gets HDN another gig.  How do you sell a coach who loses top recruits, doesn't win consistently in the regular season, has (putting it lightly)a subpar post-season record, and has some (putting it lightly again) questionable personal/off the field/integrity issues?  What school would want him as a head coach?  I don't think a logical AD for a BCS school would take him and his baggage.  My guess is Sexton would have to sell Nutter Butter to a school that is desperate.  Of course, it would also have to be a school that has a history of playing a "conservative" style and a fan base that could accept the occassional winning season and little hope for a bowl victory.  With that in mind, I think HDN's best options would be:  Buffalo, Temple, Eastern Michigan, Fla. International, Idaho St, Utah St. or any school in either North or South Dakota.  Odds are though, Sexton knows he better spend his time on other clients and just let HDN fend for himself. It's probably not worth the $13.72 and #3 meal at KFC he would get for getting HDN another gig.

[Boarcephus]

Your athletic department won't be out a dime for his salary because this model will pay for itself quicker than efficiency windows by the time he's through suing unruly fans who question his integrity.

Make the Arkansas job look as tough as possible.  Lie and mislead.  Its what agents do.  Tell the programs that its impossible to recruit to Fayetteville yet Nutt can still manage to get bowl eligible in the SEC.  Explain using an agent's way with the truth how we have been shut out of Texas because we joined the SEC and Nutt can't get talent because of it.  Play up the Texas wins, the '06 season and show the rise in attendance since Nutt got the job and make it appear that its Dale driven.  Blame the one dimensional offenses on the qb coaches and point out that Nutt has made a few coaching changes there in order to try and improve.  And dismiss the offseason unrest on the small, meaningless 5% group. 

Maybe he'll find an AD and Univ Pres gullible enough to believe the lies and half truths.  Not farfetched if he can find a couple who are Arkansans. 

That is exactly how Sexton would do it....you know too much done.

I have no hope in Sexton being able to do much though.  He couldn't sell him to NCST or Bama last year....I don't think it can be done....Hooten is coach for life at Arkansas until he leaves on his own....no other program will take him.

Hooten should leave and say he's burned out....then come back after a year off....all the tarnish will be worn off and someone may take him.

[Wayne Watson]

No, he wouldn't.....he's not a closer.  He'd be okay on the demo ride but when it came to closing, better have Daddy Frank for that.

Exactly.  What school would pay him $1.5 mil with the bag of crap he's carrying.

Exactly.   Why are we paying that for....

38-36 in SEC play
5-18 vs. TN, FL, GA, and LSU
0-2 in SECCGs
0-2 vs. USC (120 - 31 for total points)
2-5 in bowl games (0-3 vs. Big Ten)
0 BCS appearances (Longest tenure coach with 0)

And that's after a ten win season!!!!!!!!!!!

[Earl]

I think he tried really hard to sell him last year without any success.

[go hogues]

This hasn't been mentioned yet, so I'll throw this out as possible selling points.
1. 2007 SEC West Champions
2. 2007 SEC Coach of the Year

Has not been accomplished yet.  You can't sell something that has not been done yet (well, actually, come to think of it, Arkansas fans have been getting sold a "wait till our NEW offensive system kicks in" pitch for 10 years now, so maybe...)
Even still, he will not be SEC COY two years in a row.  The reasons for his being COY last year now reside in Tulsa and Los Angeles. 
He'll have to earn it on his own this year. 

[PIGINAPOKE]

The paying puplic is getting ripped off. It is $7.50 to see poodles jump through hoops.

It is a C note to watch the same gig.

Do the math.............

First thing I have EVER agree with you about.  I too would LOVE for Nutt to coach at Memphis and the sooner the better!!!

[hirebutchdavis]

Jimmy "Speed Dial" Sexton pitched Hooten to NC st and Miami.  No one wanted him.  No one will want him after this year either.  Be prepared Coach for Life is truly your coach for life.  He loves that helmet.  For Jimmy to sell something he has to have something to sell.  Its tough to sell something that's worthless.   I understand we pay him a million but I never said we were the brightest either. 

[tropical soooiee]

Hire Houston, I can't promise he'll never lose games, but I can promise it won't be his fault.

[hogzirra]

I'd try to sell him by the pound

[lilpiggy]

i think u guys are looking at this the wrong way. how much is sexy jimmy gonna have to pay to unload this hunk of junk at another place.

[PIGINAPOKE]

[Hogs-n-Roses]

Fence builder extraordinaire! He just builds with heart, flying around out there building a National Champ. while he's at it. I tell you he'll bring the best Gatorade/grass you've ever seen. Get him now while he's still available.

That was my mistake. I didn't intend to insinuate he would be COY this year nor win the West. What I meant was 2006 .

How about, "He's just the man to make La-Monroe a contender for the Sun-Belt Championship every year!"
