Houston Nutt to SMU

[razorjack12]

You heard it here first.

[Pig Worshipper]

Hope they have the 6 million for the buy-out.

[harrisburghog]

Nutt to SMU= A self imposed death penalty.

[WardamnHOGGLE]

May not like his methods.

[pitbull1]

Well they can't get much worse.

[razorjack12]

I think he is the perfect selection.

He's the opposite of June Jones philosophically and stylistically.

He might actually breathe new life into the program.

[lefty08]

How good have their recruiting classes been?  They might be good for a season or so

[twistitup]

He already lives in Dallas...why not

[shotgun7]

No way, he is going to hold out for the Vandy job next year.

I'd hate to see it, that man doesn't need to destroy anymore young men's lives, he's done enough already.

From General Sports.  Apparently Brando is on his bandwagon.

Brando has always been in Nutts jock, don't understand why.

[Hawginthecovers]

I don't know.  Maybe Nebraska will actually take him this time.  Can't be worse than Pellini.

[HOGINTENNESSEE]

Dude, I remember when the Pelini rumors to Arkansas was going on. I thought he was terrible, but I decided to watch the Big 10 Championship to give him a chance to win me over.

And CBB's Wisconsin team with their 3rd string QB scored 70 on them. And Pelini is a defensive guy.

Please tell me How Houston has destroyed lives? I understand if you don't like him as a coach but to say that he's destroyed Young Men's Lives is Pure Garbage. Go back and read my posts on Houston. I'm not a fan but sometimes this crap gets ridiculous!

What makes you think they would hire him......................

Brando's love of nutty is one reason why I don't like Brando anymore.

[Mike Irwin]

Some point out what he did to Mitch Mustain. Robert Johnson is a better example.
Anybody who saw that kid in HS will tell you that he was an outstanding college prospect.

He had an arm, could really zing the football. By the time Nutt got through with him he had trouble completing a 10 yard pass.

How did that happen? Because Nutt never displayed the least bit of confidence in the kid. Nutt said things like, He doesn't have to be a star. He just needs to drive the bus.

How do you think that made him feel? His coach is making public statements comparing him to a bus driver.

The last time I heard anything about Robert Johnson he was struggling trying to find a career. Most QBs in that situation turn to their ex head coach. Robert probably wasn't interested having Nutt suggest that he become a bus driver.

[Hogarusa]

I don't know.  Maybe Nebraska will actually take him this time.  Can't be worse than Pellini.

You guys understand Pelini has been 9-4 or 10-4 in all 6 seasons at Nebraska, correct?  What I would give to have that at Arkansas.

No way Nutt gets hired at SMU.  They will find someone who is better

isn't bielema a defensive guy as well? Hasn't quite shown that way yet has it. 

[PonderinHog]

We held Nicholls State to 7 points last Saturday!  SEVEN POINTS!   

[HOGINTENNESSEE]

Is CBB in his 5th season at Arkansas? Because that was Bo Pelini's 5th at Nebraska.

[hogcard1964]

Nutt will never coach college football again.  Nor should he.

[DeltaBoy]

I expect Nutt to land at SMU or Vandy next year.

Came in the same year as RoJo and I still speak to him now.  I remember many players on the team telling him to transfer.  If I'm not mistaken, the team(Alabama A&M?) that put TJ into the NFL wanted him badly.  The system was setup for him but of course he changed positions and the rest is history.

[SpanHog]

We held Nicholls State to 7 points last Saturday!  SEVEN POINTS!   

but then again "we" did hold Auburn to only 45 pts. the Saturday before.  Jury is still out on the defense, in fact the whole team.  Interested to see how it will perform against someone more at Arkansas' level like TTU

[LZH]

I guess if Louisville can re-hire Petrino it just goes to show that anything is possible in college athletics these days.  If Dave Bliss could land teams in the Final Four every year he'd have a job tomorrow.

[Calling All Hogs]

If Nutt gets back into coaching I hope it is with an SEC West team, preferably Auburn.

[PonderinHog]

That Auburn game was an outlier.  AN OUTLIER!   

[OneTuskOverTheLine™]

Nutt to SMU= A self imposed death penalty.

Qui, moi

[IntegrityHog]

I am really worried about Houston Nutt.  I posted a thread about the "Sins of Nutt" hanging over the program, but it was moved to Section 8.

Regardless, I hope this proves to be true.  I don't have anything against SMU or their fans, but it would be a huge relief if they locked up Dale with a multi-year contract.

[Grizzlyfan]

I'm going out on a limb here and guessing that H. Nutt doesn't list Mike Irwin as a reference on his resume.

[LZH]

but it would be a huge relief if they locked up Dale with a multi-year contract.

Why is that?

your kidding right. Turning an analogy about being a bus driver/game manager into an accusation that is was meant literally. Your nutt butt hurt is shining through.

[DeltaBoy]

Nutt could do well enough in SMU to keep the Ponies happy.

[LRRandy]

We held Nicholls State to 7 points last Saturday!  SEVEN POINTS!   

+1. I stand corrected.

[IntegrityHog]

Why is that?

He couldn't be our coach if he was at SMU.  Same with succeeding Long as AD - if he's tied up in Dallas (hopefully with a non-compete clause), we don't have to worry about him taking over for Jeff once he gets promoted.

[Hoggish1]

Jones to Nutt?  Another death penalty is right!

Mike I usually agree with you but I must say you are off base here. I can't stand Nutt but a lot of his former players think he hung the moon. I am sure there are plenty who don't as is with every single coach on the planet!

Yeah.  Packer was thumping for Dan Hawkins.  Such is life with these radio personalities.

I don't see it.  If they're smart, they'll get former UCA coach Clint Conque from Stephen F. Austin.  He's a winner, he's a Texas guy, and the price will be right.

I think you are just pissed that oswho lost last weekend.....

three questions.  1. What's it like up there?  2. What dosage do you take?  C. Can I get some?

[NaturalStateReb]

Why is that?

Well, for one thing, it might kneecap some of the conspiracy theories surrounding Nutt.  Probably not, but it might.

Mike is not butt hurt at all, he is spot on, you don't get nicknames like Quarterback Killa, MOTHO, or Monkey with a Whistle for nothing. He was Lazy, incompetent, and any other word used to describe a program destroyer

[TMc]

I expect Nutt to land at SMU or Vandy next year.

Just my opinion.., but I don't see Nutt going to Vandy to get beat up every week in the SEC.

[LRRandy]

I think you are just pissed that oswho lost last weekend.....

extremely disappointed no doubt. You are correct. It has nothing to do with my observation of the statement that was made.
