Razorback Football

[BleedinRed]

I think having an AD that understands Arkansas is a must.  I think having a coach that understands how to win is a must.

as long as it's not Nutt

Meh.  I think Nutt would be a good AD. He was a good, not great, coach with sever limitations.  With that said, I don't have the hatred for him that most here do.

If Lashlee holds the golden key to opening up HY's mythical Lost Money Vault then, so be it.

Otherwise, I'd prefer to ride or die with The Petrion.

[Feral]

Same.

He could likely fund raise with the best of them, which is mostly an AD's job nowadays. He remembers what Arkansas used to (and still can) be, and probably wouldn't view us a 'small time' stepping stone like Long did and Hunter does.

We could do a lot worse (for the record, he'd be a significant upgrade over Yurachek), but we could do better. 

[Barton Fink]

I still think of the "I called that play Chuck!", texting a local tv chick before kickoff of a bowl game, and calling into morning radio shows to argue with a journalist shenanigans. Who knows what he would do as AD.

Nope.  Look at the things that held him back as a coach (no particular order).

The tendency to micromanage.  You can't do that as an AD.  Frank got away with it, but in terms of intellect comparing JFB to HDN is like Einstein to Forrest Gump.  Even still, micromanaging held Frank (and the program) back significantly.

Loyalty to dipshit staffers/yes men.  Nutt surrounded himself with assistants who told him his shit didn't stink and treated him like the offensive genius he never was.  The risk of ending up with Mike Markuson or Chris Vaughn coaching football is far too high.  And can you see Cal working with that retard?  Or DVH?

Ego (see above).  The best ADs these days let their coaches and players be the stars, and work in the background to help the people under them succeed.  They don't play "How do you like me now" over the jumbotron to thumb their noses at critics. 

Maybe you could live with Nutt as director of the NIL program or something...maybe even head of the Razorback Foundation.  He doesn't need to be in any position where he makes personnel decisions, and he needs to have zero input into football. 

[vegashog]

there's no way nutt wouldn't meddle, seriously meddle, with the football program. it will be all about him because he's a narcissist clown.  he would say and do embarrassing shit just like he did when he was coach, because he can't change.

this. one thing i think that gets overlooked about the guy is, taken on his overall coaching record alone, there's no reason he shouldn't have gotten another job. it can only be because he came across as a fool in the interviews. he probably never had a real plan other than 'i called that play brotha' or a bunch of rah rah shit. that's how he'd approach the ad job if given the chance.

As bad as Yurachek has been, there is zero point zero chance Nutt would be better.  It's like some of you forgot what a clown he is in the ten years or so he's been out of the spotlight.

I can't believe anyone would seriously consider Nutt for AD. Fuck no.

I think you have the right of it here.

Seriously.

The old woopig would have destroyed anyone for giving the idea even a microsecond of thought.

The idea that we would take the crab pinching, deaf signing clown who epitomized "doing less with more" and say "here, run the entire athletic department" is so stupid on a colossal level I feel dumber for having read it.

[DirkPiggler]

Interesting quotes from Kenoy Kennedy after the coaching change (from HawgBeat - On3).


"Watching now as a fan, I think 100% of the problem is effort," Kennedy said. "You play hard a couple of plays, but if you're tired, if you're gassed, if you're not feeling good – get out.

"There's other guys on the sideline that's ready and willing to play. And I've seen a lot of plays, big plays and stuff that it's just straight up (lack of) effort."

[vegashog]

as a coach nowadays your going to have humble yourself and kiss a little ass. sucks, but that's the environment.

to me pittman went way too far with the feels than he needed to. why wait until halftime to yank a kid? that's all that needs to be done, no raw dogging him in front of the stadium, just sit his ass. ole miss is a good example for me, kiffin just pulls the kid and doesn't even look at him. the message gets sent.

The idea of Nutt being head of anything is asinine to me and I'm not a Nutt hater but no reason to open that door. Could he be used for fundraising engagements, sure, but he has no business being in charge of anything related to UA this point.

You cannot view this attachment.

[Silence Of The Hams]

Is the alumni angle really a thing?  I could give a shit about my college.  Never gave them a fucking dime. 

It is to me, I could never just pick up another team because I was mad.

It's hard but I do and always will love the Hogs!

[Barton Fink]

No idea the validity of this, but it's interesting if true.
