Already Decided?

Hawgs Illustrated's Dudley Dawson minced very few words on Sports Rap tonight saying that, according to his sources, the struggle for power between the "Nutt Camp" and the "Davis Camp" was over and that the Butch Davis supporters had now conceded.

According to DD, Houston Nutt will remain the head coach next year under the condition that he hire an offensive coordinator and become more of a "CEO" coach. Several assistant coaches will be "shuffled around," but the possibility of a full house cleaning was dismissed as unlikely.

As for the "worst kept secret in Arkansas," Dawson continues to believe that Springdale High School coach Gus Malzahn will be hired as an assistant coach, though unlikely as offensive coordinator. That job appears to be David Cutcliffe's for the taking. As Dudley said, "Don't be too surprised if that happens."

As for when this will all play out publicly, that has apparently not yet been determined. I'm sure a very public vote of confidence and press conference will be held as soon as possible to attempt to quiet the mob and assist the coaching staff while out recruiting.
