I almost want to fire Nutt too but I don't think the brunt of the fanbase is behind it yet? By no means do I think the Arky trolls were right even if we fire him. I just, unless he proves me wrong by winning more games and proving this game and last year a rebuilding mulligan, think he was never really a fit for the program and was blessed with 2 years of good players that fit his playbook. Then again, under Boone, who is? Maybe if we got rid of Boone we'd fix our problems with Nutt.

You really think firing Boone instead of Nutt would fix our problems?

That's freakin' ridiculous. I just got home from the game, and I can promise you that the only thing Boone has done wrong, was hire Nutt. He was completely confused on the sideline, and Lee was even more confused. The two of them argued almost the entire game. Once, Nutt chewed on Lee and Lee just threw up his hands and walked away.

I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of Nutt. It is a bitter pill to swallow, but pig fans were right. Nutt is terrible. And he is doing exactly what the porkers said he would do, 3 years ago.

Rant over - just *beep* off right now. A perfectly winnable game thrown away because of sideline confusion.

1. Stoudt has a rocket for an arm. One discipline mistake made all game is what cost us the game.
2. Nix has really improved the defense. They played 40 minutes almost and aren't why we lost (except the one horse collar)

On top of that the special teams is getting better.

Offensive line needs work, they got away with a lot of holds in my opinion. Nutt has no clock management skills.

I think Stoudt is our man. Anyone else agree? Or do we all think we're really an 0-1 team that will be lucky to win 4 again?

I will say this--if we don't win 6, I want Nutt out. I'm not the most popular for this, but to give us two almost great seasons then disappoint us Orgeron style simply won't fly.

Edit - At least it was a bunch of racist mormons and not Jacksonville State. We'll make up for it in conference play. Just like JVSU we were definitely not outmatched. Unlike JVSU, this won't end our season.
