My Two Cents
by Ron Sitton

Danny Nutt resigned from the University of Arkansas today due to re-occurring bleeding in his brain stem. Arkansas moved quickly to hire Tim Horton, a former Hog receiver, though former Miami coach Larry Coker was also mentioned as a possible replacement.

Though I'm all for using the family tree to fill a position quickly if needed, it seems likely that a lot of experienced running back coaches would salivate at the opportunity to coach Heisman-trophy runner-up Darren McFadden and backfield mates Felix Jones and Peyton Hillis.

I wonder if Horton will be half the recruiter that Danny Nutt is, considering D. Nutt brought the current stable of hosses into the program, as well as Cedric Cobbs and the as-yet unknown Michael Smith and Van Stumon. It also makes me question if Camden Fairview running back De'Anthony Curtis (5-10, 209 lbs., 4. 41 in the 40) will keep his oral pledge.

Just when it seems that Arkansas may become known as Tailback U. in the SEC, another bombshell drops in Fayettenam.
