In an earlier post, I mentioned that this was really a question of loyalty; Coach Nutt's from Arkansas and said this was his 'dream job'. The question was if Houston Nutt lived to his words.
The answer, an emphatic YES.
Houston Nutt turns down a 10-year, $25 million contract from Nebraska to remain head coach at the University of Arkansas. He will accept a new 10-year, $14 million contract from Arkansas, become promoted to asst. AD, and will be able to assume the AD's position when Coach Broyles retires.
Nebraska and Arkansas have fought over 2 coaches in the past year. First was Dave Van Horn. Second is Houston Nutt. Both are coaching, and will continue to coach, at Arkansas.
