Hopefully this means Randy Shannon to Alabama when KS leaves.

Its full on meltdown mode in HV right now. Someone was talking about it on the Coaching Changes board and I had to go look.

Would rather have Willy. People will riot if Nix is hired.

Fortunately, much of Arkansas resides in a trailer park, so the fall is but one story. Triage units on every corner treating spraining ankles, brokens wrists, and bruised foreheads from aggressive facepalms.

That would be one dumb move by both parties. Shannon runs a 4-3 defense. Base 4-3, Cover 2

Word is he is being considered for a position coaching job and not actually the DC job. Feldman is just getting his info from a bogus report KNWA put out last night.

Of course, I could be totally wrong as Hogville is reporting that he is at the BAC right now.

saban and shannon can't co-exist. Saban will promote a position coach or someone who will be answering to him on the defense. Shannon will want to run his defense, not sabans.

Didn't know much about Nix until I just googled him. Pretty impressive resume I guess, but check out Shannon's 6 years as defensive coordiantor at Miami and how his teams ranked nationally in defense:
2001 – 6th
2002 – 7th
2003 – 2nd
2004 – 28th
2005 – 4th
2006 – 7th

I think this is more of what Petrino is after. He's already proven he has the offensive prowess. Now we just need a powerhouse defense. Fingers crossed..

In the last two years, Hogs have recorded 15 more sacks and 5 more INTS than Ole Miss

Petrino wanted nix before he hired Ellis Johnson when he got to Arkansas, he must have a man crush on the guy.

We have went from thinking we had Shannon to now thinking we have leftovers from the one of the worst SEC teams to ever exist.

Yeah, people are freaking out.

I don't think Nix is as bad as people make him out to be.

His D is physical which is what we've lacked. Not really his fault that Nutt recruits 20 guys per year who are 6 ft 180 and expects to fill his entire roster out with them beyond lineman

Not a homerun hire if true, but also has a much different mentality than Willy's bend don't break scheme

He was a fairly hot commodity before he joined the Dumpster fire that was Ole Miss under Nutt.

If he is hired I hope he can recruit. Does anyone know if he's a good recruiter or not?

nutt proved it is easier to be successful at Arkansas than Ole Miss, maybe same will happen with Nix?

At this point I think the AR bloggers and media are throwing crap out there until something sticks until one of them can say they got it right..

So I hope the Nix rumors are false.
