Houston Nutt lands this job it'll be a knife to my heart! He is exactly like BB!!! Except more like a greasy used car salesman.
I SWEAR IF
- Thread starter Ozark Caveman
- Start date
How is he exactly like BB? I don't really see any similarities other than their chosen profession.
We could do a lot worse...
3 SEC west championships...
2 OVC championships
Former Coach of the year... 1A & 1 AA
60% winning record...

I prefer my coaches not guzzle 17 Red Bulls a day. Much less be the reason Gus Malzahn left your staff for li'l ole' Tulsa.
Nutt kept the reins on Gus pretty good at Arkansas. Can anyone imagine what Arkansas could have done if they ran Gus' full offense with the insane talent they had on the field that year?
I am not a Houston Nutt fan. If we are going to go the retread route, Butch Davis is a better option IMO.
I kind of agree with Ozark to some extent. Although it was much different circumstances, the OC controversy's was handled very poorly by both Nutt and Blankenship. It worked out well for TU when Nutt did what he did because we ended up with Malzahn.
You guy's I live in Arkansas. Trust me, we don't want him as a coach. He freaking ran off Gus Malzahn for Christ's sake!! Who in their right mind would do that? 2 Poor, the similarity between BB and HN is their elementary game plan.
No chance Nutt gets a look. There's just some media folks around here that are buddies with him and he is self promoting himself for the job like crazy.
Didn't Big Al and Pat Jones throw a bunch of names for the basketball job out there too and none of them were ever really seriously considered.
Fact that Meachum is scheduled to be interviewed and confirmed by some sources is a good sign. Chad Morris already has the makings of a really good staff working at SMU including the HC from DeSoto HS meaning he is going to be in on several highly ranked recruits. This process needs to move faster than fast and if Meachum is the guy maybe he can counter Morris' ties to the metroplex with the ones he has built as well.

AGREED. This is a PR ploy by Nutt to try and get an interview. I think (and certainly hope) Nutt is way beyond #10 on the list of possibles.
Sorry, previous sentence made ZERO sense the way it was worded. NUTT=NO WAY

I just remembered the Cotton Bowl with Arkansas vs Missouri. Arkansas ran a fake punt but called a timeout before the punt and the play was negated. After the timeout, Arkansas came out and ran the fake punt again for a 1 yard loss. Only Houston Nutt would do that. It was probably the funniest thing I have ever seen, except for the guy I saw jumping in a mortar mixer to unclog it!

Someone mentioned Spavital has already interviewed as well. Looks like Gragg wants young and hungry

Dallas Morning News today confirmed that Spavital did interview 4 the TU job
Also, alot of A&M fans wondering what's going on,
1st HC Sumlin fired the DC in mid season
Now the OC Spavital might want out
Plus A&M has somel top notch recruits decommit lately
But as usual, some A&M fans feel Spavital (29yrs old?)
is to young & needs more experience.

Spavial interviews w/ TU
At first I thought Nutt would be an interesting hire. But...
1) wouldn't let malzahn run his offense and ran him off
2) hated by Arkansas fans and ran out of town after 7-8 years
3) tanked Ole Miss program ending with 4 and then 2 win season
4) no jobs for a few years... As the program that struggled has soared without him
5) Big Al and Pat Jones like him
So no thanks.

ESPN's Fowler is reporting TU to interview Nutt next week. He's already been interviewed at UNLV.

DUDE!!! NO!!! My worst nightmare might come true! This guy is a sleezball. If TU hires this guy, I will know, all I need to know about the athletic program. I may have to check out for the next 5 to 10 years....

Coach Nutt was not coaching in that cotton bowl game, he resigned after the LSU game and Reggie Herring was intrim head coach.
