Nutt... I'd really rather we went with a younger guy who wants to claw his way up the ranks.

Interesting they did not hire Marinelli as DC...OR did they? Hmmm....

Jerry is a problem that I just dismiss because that part will never change. He spent a $140,000,000 in 1989 and now he has that investment worth over a $1,000,000,000. He isn't going anywhere so I see no need to worry about him. Now Garrett and his idiotic handling of the offense, is something I think desperately needs to be addressed.

Misleading thread, looks like & officially hired are 2 different things

Broaddus on Twitter is eluding the effect that Nutt isn't being added to the staff. They just wanted to talk to him. Who knows, maybe Jerry is just bringing in his own Razorback pal to get his feedback on an SEC coach/player.

We won't succeed with him in his current role you should worry about him. He is the one who hired the Red Head Genius.

I think this is as big a deal as Jerry's much lauded Bruce Coslet addition under Campo, and will be just as productive.

LOL! Can't believe we're going to have that bumbling idiot Houston Nutt on our sidelines. Is he really better than Skip Peete? Is he really better than anyone? At anything?

Since all HC vacancies have been filled, where does this leave Lovie Smith? Looks like Jerry is trying re-unite Bucs coaches circa 2002. Lovie for LB coach?

He didn't want to take a defensive coordinator job, so he will come be our linebacker coach?

Nutt will be fine as a RB coach.

Marinelli is a great hire. A great one.

I was first disappointed when jerry canned rob ryan. But now im starting to like the changes made to the coaching staff!

He was a fine assistant coach, which led to him becoming a head coach. And he even did well as a head coach until things went south at Arkansas.

Not sure why people think he's a bumbling idiot when he successfully worked his way through the college ranks to head coaching jobs at major colleges.

Now, I don't know if he's better than Peete, but Dallas had issues with Peete and decided to move on, so we'll find out. I'm willing to wait and see rather than raking them over the coals for a move which no one really knows will work or not.

What RB has Peete made better than when they arrived?

Choice and Felix actually got worse, although injuries have contributed to that for Jones. I don't really understand why Choice fell off, unless it was his disenchantment with his role.
