The University of Arkansas Athletic programs have always been an asset to the state, the University and the people of Arkansas. Recently, the management of the athletic department by the Athletic Director and the Football Head Coach has cast a pall over this once proud institution to the point where the UofA Athletic Dept is now a liability rather than an asset.
While fans acknowledge the numerous contributions Coach Broyles has made over the years in his leadership of the athletic programs, the time for new leadership has arrived. Thank you Coach Broyles for all you have done. Please do not continue to overstay your effectiveness
Although fans also acknowledge the 2006 football season as an improvement on the field, we are disappointed and embarrassed by the lack of control off the field in football operations. Coach Nutt who has been allowed the longest tenure in college football by a BCS conference school without appearing in a BCS bowl game, does not provide the consistent leadership the football program needs in the very competitive Southeastern Conference.
We urge both of these men who have on numerous occasions vowed their love for the University of Arkansas and its athletic programs, to step down immediately.
