Arkansas Coaching Standards
I received way more responses to my last post than I ever thought possible. I have been having an on going banter with my old college mates about the subject of HDN and Gus and Mustain. Do some math and you might be able to figure out who one of them might be.
Of course, not many of the replies were very flattering. I was told to go "have sex" with myself, that I was the most uniformed person on the planet and that I was probably run out of Arkansas since I do not think HDN should be fired.
All well and good and further proof that when your position is shaky, resort to name calling and cursing.
My post was in response to a blog sent to me by my esteemed classmate that was written by some random dude dogging on the current program. My point was that blogs are like statistics, you can find one that takes the same data and reverses the opinion derived from it.
What I have learned now is that people will focus on certain content of an opinion and ignore other content. No one mentioned in their reply how I closed my post. I want HDN gone also and that I will cheer for the Hogs whoever the new guy is.
I remember the days back in the old Southwest conference when it was us against all of Texas. We always cheered like we were the underdog and celebrated whenever we beat an opponent and were sad when we lost. We hated punting on third down and hated a straight ahead hand off on 3rd and 15. But we still cheered and loved our boys. There were fans in the stands instead of coaches. That seems to have changed.
I watched alot of football this weekend and saw alot of close games and upsets. I also saw alot of fans cheering for their boys. They were just cheering in Oregon, they were just cheering in Gainsville, and they were just cheering in Seattle. The game is full of breaks, good and bad, errors, player and coaches, and excitement. That is what makes it college football. For some reason this seems to be lost on the Arkansas coaches, errr fans.
So with that in mind:
Due to poor coaching, Oregon receiver Cammeron Colvin fumbled at the goal line. Then, the ball rolled through the end zone! The entire staff will be fired on Monday.
A lack of discipline caused Florida to allow Auburn to drive the field and kick a game winning field goal. On the other side, the players performed the "gator chop" to mock the home team. Myer and Turberville are now on the hot seat.
Poor coaching squandered the lead as Colorado kicked a game winning field goal and upset Oklahoma. Stoops is considering his options.
Coaching decisions led to Andre Woodson's (the KY quarterback) first interception in 325 passes. The entire staff will visit Woodson's home and apologize to the family.
Coaching decisions are to blame for hurting the feelings of the N. Texas State team as Arkansas scored too many points. Coach Nutt once again fails to be accountable for his actions.
I am looking for backers for a full page Democrat-Gazzette ad: Wanted- Fans that cheer to replace our fans that coach.
I would like to close with a question for all of you. Is it possible that Hutt had to suffer through two losing seasons because he had to play Matt Jones at quarterback? I find it interesting that Mustains 8-0 record is always touted but Jones two losing seasons are never mentioned but instead blamed on Nutt. Was every Jones defeat due to Nutt and every Mustain victory due to his heroics?
I cannot do the suggested sex act, I stay informed by reading things other than hogville.com and I joined the Air Force and served for 22 years. I proudly tell people, around the world, I am from Arkansas and visit home as much as I can.
HDN will resign at the end of the season. He would go now but he loves his players and he loves coaching the University of Arkansas!

Jones didn't have two losing seasons. Nutt's only two were 2004 and 2005. 2005 was run it four times up the gut against Vandy and "It was a called play, Chuck!"
Frankly, I don't see any one blaming Nutt for Jones' fumble against TX in '04 or Smith's fumble against KY a couple of weeks ago. Nutt is blamed, rightly so, for his play calling which does lose us ball games. Check out the end of the LSU game for an example. See 3rd & 12 against Bama this year for another.
