Remember a few months ago when we reported that Arkansas was getting a professional football team? Well, what’s a team without a coach? MLF officials have announced the hiring of former Arkansas and Ole Miss head coach Houston Nutt as the new coach of the Little Rock based franchise.
Nutt is currently under contract with CBS, but the MLF has recently announced that they won’t be having a season in 2016, but are currently gunning for a spring 2017 schedule. That will give Houston a chance to fulfill his obligations to CBS, while also assembling a great staff for his new tenure as a head coach.
