Somewhat along the same vein, where do you Ranters think Houston Nutt will surface after this season, or will he even remain in coaching?
I heard that he would rather have an AD job than be a coach. Not that he would get an AD job offer, but it leads me to believe he's not necessarily eager to go coach somewhere. He made lot of money over the last 13 years at Arkansas and Ole Miss, so he shouldn't have to work for awhile. After coaching in the SEC and getting paid somewhat handsomely, I don't see him going back to a lower tier school very soon, where he wouldn't make as much. And I don't think any major school really wants him. I think he may be like Ron Davie, sit out for awhile then go coach at a smaller school. Just my guess.

Houston Nuttz checking in on this subject.

My $6,000,000 buyout check to NOT work has cleared the bank so now I can go 'Big Daddy Nuttz' with all that money. Feeling like Jethro on the Beverly Hillbillies with millions of dollars ready to get my giggity giggity going.

I have sabotaged two football programs... Arkansas and Ole Miss. More detail at my new tweeter I am still learning how to use LINK

Am not done sabotaging Ole Miss.

1. I suspended the starting QB and RB because they tried to play hard in a couple of games this season and wanted to reward them for their effort with suspensions for the LSU game. They dont deserve to be crippled for life in a game we have no hope of even competing in. Both thanked me.

2. In the current Ole Miss football world (which I am responsible for creating) La Tech = LSU. If we cant beat La Tech, LSU will curb stomp us.

3. Will fill the Ole Miss water bottles and igloos with 'purple drank' to lessen the effects of the coming LSU curb stomping. I tweeted my order to Jamarcus Russell and he delivered to the Ole Miss trainers today.

4. Wish the game was in Tiger Stadium cause we would have a great half time show. Would have Mike the Tiger cage pulled to midfield and push into the cage the Ankbar Rebel Brown Bear mascot (or whatever the crap it is) and we could all enjoy watching a Bengal Tiger fight a Brown Bear mascot. Not much of a fight but it would be 10,000 times better than any boring marching band.

5. Coaching my awful team is pointless so I am up all night tweeting my thoughts and enjoying my purple drank. LINK

See you Saturday! You will miss me if Mike Leach takes the Ole Miss job!

I actually agree with this. He is the classic man who did not know his limitations.

Big Daddy Nuttz is back.

Just made a second order of purple drank from Jamarcus Russell. He delivered the first order to the athletic dept for the game Saturday and it disappeared overnite.

I ran down to question them but they had purple all over their faces and down their shirts and stared at me. The one trainer coherent enough to speak said, "a buncha big guys in purple shirts with gold LSU on them busted in thru the door and took all the purple drank". I willingly believed the lie.

This is an unintended positive side effect of my sabotage so I am a happy Big Daddy Nuttz today.



Coaching my team right now is useless. I tried that all year and it didnt work. Maybe I overused my overacted, pastor in the pulpit routine.

I found that tweeter and forums are more fun right now. and more productive.


After a Brad Wing punt pins us on the 1 yard line I will strike back and call a fake punt on first down from the 1 yard line! I will show you LSU tigers who is really crazy!

Game will be fun on Sat nite. I cant wait to screw with the Ole Miss fans who paid me $6 million dollars NOT to work!

You will miss me when I am gone.

My tweeter has more good stuff LINK

================================================

All of this is very correct.

I know my limitations. I am a great gameday OC.

The problem is that great OC's get paid a fraction of what insecure, toxic, poisonous personalitied SEC Head Coaches get paid.

Example: Ole Miss just paid me $6,000,000 NOT to work and go away. That is more than you will make in a lifetime of hard work. I had a great day... how was yours?

Called the bank and the check has cleared.

Called my superagent Jimmy Sexton and we are both laughing at the legal robbery.

I am the 15th highest paid coach in college football with a soon to be 2-10 season. And 2 cotton bowl victories when I took a loser team that Ed Orgeron left me and made it a 10+ win seasons.

I know my limitations but didnt care. Just wanted mega money and to be on tv so I can hear myself talk.


You will miss me when I am gone.

Like everyone else, I've frequently heard the story that "Nick Saban recommended Houston Nutt for the LSU job." Funny, but now a days I hear this more from my AR friends than from anyone others. I no longer recall how this story was first reported. I've always suspected it was mainly just internet folklore or was initiated by Sexton (at the time he was the agent for BOTH Saban and Nutt) in a effort to get a contract extension and more money for Nutt (successful on both accounts, I believe) and thus more money for Sexton. It's possible the question could've been posed in a way that NS could've mentioned HN's name w/o it really being a ringing endorsement of HN for the LSU job. ("Coach Saban, are there some other coaches in the SEC that come to mind that you think might fit LSU?") I'd be interested to know the context of what was the actual question posed to NS as well as actual answer he gave.

At any rate, I don't spend my nights worrying about HN. As someone else mentioned, he's more than "finanacially stable." The SEC's upper tier coaches and their salaries have been VERY good to HN.

TigerOnThe Hill who is your inside source? or are you just that smart. Which ever one.. you are correct.

Me and Jimmy Sexton laugh all the way to the bank over that one.

Jimmy planted that rumor and it will not die. Thats why Jimmy Sexton is the college football superagent.


I call the bank about once an hour for external validation that we legally robbed Ole Miss of $6,000,000 for me NOT to work.


You will miss me when I am gone.

PS I have been sipping on my purple drank and using this tweeter machine here LINK in preparation for Saturday's game.

I don't agree with you that he's Excellent as either a game day coach or an OC. Sure he could motivate his players to get fired up and play hard sometimes, but he only has three plays in his book - dive right, dive left, short pass. He's only had one 10 win season in his entire career - and that year he went 10-4, with Peyton Hillis, Darren McFadden, and Felix Jones in the backfield. And those ten wins included the likes of Utah St, SE Missouri, and ULM. Only three of the ten wins were against teams with a winning record. Add to that a missed chip shot FG from Alabama to give Arkansas one of those wins - they could have easily been 9-5.

SEC record at Arkansas 41-39
Bowl record at Arkansas 2-5
Two SEC Title game appearances, 2002 when Alabama wasn't eligible, and 2006 when they got one more SEC win than LSU because they didn't have to play Florida. He lost both - NO SEC titles.

Yes, he managed to get fired up to play LSU every year and maybe that's why you are so misled. But he's a glorified cheerleader, nothing more. I've lived in Fayetteville since '94, I saw HDN's entire tenure here, and I'm telling you, he's a clown, a con man. And I'm not saying that because I'm an LSU fan, most Arkansas fans will tell you the same. For Hog fans, Nutt was a refreshing burst of energy after Danny Ford, but there's no way they would ever want him back.

You are an enlighted, educated football fan. Most importantly... eveything you have said is accurate and true.

Being a insecure, con man head coach, I spend most of my time not scheming plays... but scheming sabotage upon those who could do better than me or who might make me look wrong or bad.

Untold time is taken laughing at admin and AD jokes and entertaining boosters with my 'giggity giggity' routine.

Ex. I had Gus Malzahn, Mitch Mustain and Damien williams, too.
Damien was a high round draft pick and I think is starting for the Titans.
Gus... you know his story.
Mitch had talent but I broke his will to live (arrested selling adderall to undercover).


much more on this later... gotta run. Jamarcus Russell is at my door with 3 cases of purple drank and his 'bodyguards'. I gotta sit around and hear the Al Davis stories and tell him about the way i screwed with everybody and i gotta dig up cash. Hope i dont get robbed.
