Speculation grows that this could be Houston Nutt's last year as head coach of the Razorback football team.
Reports of Nutt's departure swirled around the coach as he and his team arrived in Little Rock on Friday for Saturday's game against Mississippi state.


The river market was full of hog fans in town for Saturday's game and the Houston Nutt talk was rampant.


By Friday night, the possible departure of Coach Houston Nutt was the talk of the town.


(Chris Isom, Clinton) "He's developed the program, he's developed some new talent, but I think it's time for a change, it's time to bring in somebody new."


(Sandy Allen, Newport) "We need a fresh start, with everybody fresh, that's the way I see it."


Earlier on Friday, Coach Nutt arrived in Little Rock with his team for Saturday's game against Mississippi State. Nutt met with reporters to dispel what he calls a rumor.


(Huston Nutt) "No, no, it's silly, it's ridiculous to put rumors out like that right now. People are just talking and that's what happened."


The University of Arkansas Board of Directors met for a regularly scheduled meeting in Little Rock. There, the chairman of the board acknowledged the speculation about Houstion Nutt was a topic during the board's executive session.


(Stanley Reed, UA Board President) "To our knowledge there is no truth in that whatsoever. That's really all I can say. That was a topic. John White mentioned that in executive session, that he had called Coach Nutt as well as Coach Broyles and they both denied they knew anything about that rumor."


Still no confirmation of anything at this point, but a lot of speculation for certain.
