Houston Nutt: Out at Arkansas; in at Ole Miss

[LRCW]

I guess the big win over LSU wasn't enough to save him.

 

 

 

Houston Nutt, the second-longest tenured football coach in the Southeastern Conference, will not be back at Arkansas next season, sources told ESPN.com on Monday.

University officials will make the announcement at a news conference scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET in Fayetteville. The university would not comment on the nature of the announcement, other than to say Nutt, Chancellor John White and outgoing athletic director Frank Broyles will be on hand.

 

Nutt, who led the Razorbacks to two SEC championship game appearances, will receive a settlement in the neighborhood of $3.5 million.

Houston, here is $3.5 million to not coach our boys anymore.

I'd of thought they would reconsider after beating LSU. I guess not.

They thought that was a good win, but then they realized UK beat LSU too.

Too much of a circus in Fayetteville to keep him around.

I'm guessing that controversial QB change a couple of years ago did him in...

 

Man, I wish I could find that article...

He'll go wherever he wants!

I don't think the change by itself did him in. I think the lady friend emailing the kid and completely chewing him out and telling him what piece of trash he was did him in. Add in the phone calls/text messages to the female reporter friend and the circus is now in town.

Are you serious? I couldn't disagree more than I do. Unless of course you mean he'll go wherever he wants and he'll want to go to a lesser program than Arkansas...and in that case I agree with you.

You mean texting your girlfriend (while your married) 15 minutes before kick-off of your bowl game is a bad idea? Who knew?

He's a guy that wins and recruits well. He'll be fine.

They probably realized that they had the best player in college football and still finished 8-4.

[strike-3]

Houston, we have a problem.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Somebody had to use this line.

Again, we'll agree to disagree. Larry Eustachy could win and recruit well too...where is he now? Southern Miss? Believe it or not, moral fortitude does mean something when dealing with young adults...thankfully. His next job will NOT be the caliber of Arkansas...I'd nearly guarantee it. If I'm wrong I'll be disappointed.

Wasn't he almost going to Nebraska before he backed out and they hired Callahan???
