Wanna Know Why I Hate Twitter? Fools Like Tim Brando
Posted by Adam Butler on November 8, 2011
The CBS College Football Studio Host and longtime Houston Nutt apologist and Hog hater must have been in his cups last nite.
That is the only thing I can think of to explain Tim Brando’s odd behavior on the internets. In the wake of the news that The Mississippi Coach will soon be no more, Brando spent most of yesterday on Twitter defending Nutt and painting Arkansas fans with a broad brush.
One might think that Brando would want to talk about anything but Nutt and Arkansas fans at this point. After Arkansas parted ways with Nutt following the 2007 season, Brando routinely railed on Arkansas fans for what he deemed to be their collective shabby treatment of Nutt, and essentially said they would rue the day they ran off The Mississippi Coach.
In so doing, he also made it a point to repeatedly, dismissively lecture Arkansas fans about how they had unrealistic expectations and Arkansas could do no better than Nutt (Will he say the same to Mississippi fans during their search? No way. Brando is chummy with Mississippi legend and Coach Maker Archie Manning).
Now, less than four years later with Arkansas (led by Bobby Petrino) pulling itself out of the ditch Nutt left it in and establishing a perennial Top Ten caliber program, Nutt has Mississippi back in the same ditch. (To Nutt’s next employer: Watch Out For Black Ice!)
And, Brando, unlike Nutt, is on the offensive and defending the man who has put Mississippi back in its comfort zone–last place (and waaaaay worse nationally than Mississippi’s traditional 50th spot……MISSISSIPPI FANS–DO IT NOW–OCCUPY FBS EXPANSION! Does the FBS really need 2 schools from New Mexico? It may take Mississippi math, but we can get you back down/up to 50th!!).
Yesterday, after the announcement of Nutt’s firing/resignation at Mississippi, Brando sent several shots over the bow, but this was the most ill-advised:
TimBrandoTim BrandoThe sad side of our culture shows up when people take joy out of someone else’s bad news. No tweets or interviews for me in Arkansas again.
TimBrandoTim BrandoUpon further review I shouldn’t have proclaimed no more tweets or interviews in Arkansas. A bit much, as my wife would remind me. Apologies.

Tidbits from Brando interview with HDN:
Brando says there are a lot of people he likes in the buisness but none more than HDN
HDN says:
Had 2 very good years, back to back cotton bowl.
In the toughest league in america.
Talks about all his good players from first two years and how they never knew what it felt like to win.
Brings up the win in the swamp against Tebow.
Says OM was a thirty minute team this year, playing 33 freshman/rs freshman this year.
Says difficult to recruit out of state b/c recruits have seen Mississippi Burning aka Miss is seen as a racist state.
Alabama’s, Auburns budgets are bigger.
Brings up historical big time programs that suck this year (Fla, Tenn).
Brando says he thinks HDN made a big mistake giving up play calling duties. LOL
Says he has 7 to 10 years of coaching left, will see whats out there.
Say he has a good 14 years in the SEC, good year at Boise, and Murray St.
No mention of Arkansas from either Brando or HDN.

Thanks for the rundown, Stave. Great stuff.
Don’t think for a second the lack of comment Re: Arkansas didn’t have something to do with Brando’s tweets, yesterday.
Mississippi Burning was released 23 years ago. Today’s recruits’ ideas of history don’t expand beyond the latest version of the iPhone, but they are markedly influenced by a movie that was released 5 years before they were born, and they probably haven’t seen (unless they routinely watch TNT’s syndicated movies selection)?
I don’t see how he gets another job. A major program won’t want him and he has made too much money and has too big of an ego to go to a mid-major.
Jimmy Sexton is good but he isn’t that good.

Did he say he wanted to be a head coach? Would Jerry hire him to be a running backs coach in Big D?
And if a guy like Rick Neuheisal keeps getting 2nd chances, someone will call on Nutt. Not SEC, but consider the crappiest jobs in the Big Least, Big 10 (indiana?), Big 12 (Iowa St) or a school on probation (North Carolina) as likely landing spots.
But I still say he’s destined to be Holtz’s replacement on ESPN. Rece already has the nickname for him, which spawns a perfect “Right Reverend” segment.

That would only hasten ESPN’s exit from my life.
