Nutt to Ole Miss

Bumped from the diaries. The state of Mississippi just got a lot more competitive.

Just hours after leaving Arkansas Nutt agreed to take the Ole Miss job. It says he meets the criteria they are looking for in a proven winner. I'm not sure if he can carry his winning at Arkansas over to Ole Miss, but they do have some good young talent there. My guess is recruiting will probably not be as good as it was under Orgeron. He might not be a good head coach, but the man sure can recruit.

Wonder where

Coach O will land. He can recruit like a mad man. Just can't seem to coach them.

I would imagine...

I would imagine he would assume something similar to his position at USC of DL coach / recruiting coordinator.

Even at Ole Miss, he recruited very well and his defensive line kicked butt. He just struggled to do everything else.

This deal had to worked out long before announced

For Coach O to get fired after only 3 yrs and Nutt to take the job a few hrs after stepping down. I bet they were in talks for weeks or months. Leave it to Sexton.

I wouldn't piss off the boys from Alabama . . .

Sexton...

...is the Timbaland or Pharrel of the college football world...in that he's making it all happen. He is decidedly less cool and flashy though...and he doesn't get to hang out with Nelly Furtado and Nicole Schleisinger.

Roll Tide!
