Nope he ain't going there...HBH still says he is gone...

[CiriusPorker]

Here's a dream situaiton..if Nutt goes to CO.  We get BD, we should schedule CO as a annual non-conference just so we can prepare for a running game and whip the dog sh** out of Nutt!

[hogfankb]

Les Miles is a possibility. Why the hell would he leave LSU?

[HogHillbilly]

Why would he want to leave though............He has a possible Heisman trophie winner in the backfield..............The number 1 QB in the country coming in, and now a new OC and possibly some more of the Springdale 5 coming..............Nutt ain't going anywhere fellas....................We're stuck with him.................Oh yeah...............He makes 1.5 mil a year here with no expectations. He would'nt make close to that in Colorado, and he would have to produce there................

This game will take care of itself. It's called the Cotton Bowl. Big 12 middle of the pack vs. SEC middle of the pack.

[Coacht]

You mean their Athletic department actually came out and gave their fans some info on what is going on? Wow thats a new concept.

He's about to have to let his best friend be fired by an OC shoved down his throat.  He's lost the support of the fans and a financial package could be worked out at CU which would guarantee a longer term than what he'll get here.  That's why I think he may still be gone.  All speculation has it that BD would hire GM as OC anyway, so the transition is not that hard to make if BD comes in.

Bacon out...

[CiriusPorker]

I wonder what publicity stunt, Nutt would pull in that matchup...instead of the hook 'em horns down sign..what would he do or say?  would he give us the bird before the game?

Actually this year, it is the second best team in the Big 12 vs. SEC middle of the pack. - It goes to show just how bad the Big 12 is as a conference.

Hilbilly, We dont know about Mustain quite yet, dont count your chickens before they hatch, dont put all your eggs in one basket....etc...etc...

:razorback: Anyone notice who all was mentioned besides Nutt and Miles? 

Among the early names that have surfaced are: Mullen High School coach Dave Logan, Arkansas coach Houston Nutt, LSU coach Les Miles and UCLA assistant Jon Embree. Broncos offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak, who briefly accepted the CU job in the last search and then backed out, opening the door for Barnett, declined to comment on the opening Thursday.

A high school coach?  Man are they desperate!! Wait...eer....scratch that...  :razorback:

[swoopeshog]

It seems odd that Nutt would announce GM as OC today and then find a new gig elsewhere.  Obviously stranger things have happened.  One would think Nutt leaves and then the new HC makes the announcement of his staff....too logical.  Nevermind

I agree. I don't think he is going anywhere, but I guess one can always hope!

Barnett made 1.6 million bucks at CO, he would be in the Big 12 which is a much easier conference, and Nutt would bring a fresh pumped up clean car sales approach to a near dead program.  Sounds like a match, even though it is probably not going to happen

Could Nutt win again with a change of scenery?  Different assistants?

Nutt will probably fair well at Colorado since he's good at winning with other people's recruits.

Even if his pay was decreased, you tell me what you'd want:

1 year @ 1.4 million
3 years @ 1.0 million

and with someone else's players?

[bosshawg38]

Why would Colorado in their right mind choose Nutt over Gary Kubiak (one of the possible candidates mentioned)? I'd give them a little more credit than that.

didn't kubiak back out on them last time when they hired Barnett

yes he did - may have left a sour taste in their mouth.  But other names being mentioned include Borges, Tubby, O'Brien (BC) so I'm not too enamored with any of their potential hires unless they've got one flying under the radar.
