Not really sure what Nutt was thinking in the first place taking that job. Ole Miss historically is a really bad program. Maybe he wanted a challenge? Either way, career wise the move probably killed him.
Nutt's career was on life support as it was. He had nothing to lose because he wasn't getting a better head coaching gig. Make no mistake, hovering around .500 would have kept him there a long time.
Ironic he gets canned this week, seeing his career was at another watershed moment thirteen years ago. Stumbled and fumbled himself out of that defining moment though.
Not sure he'd do that well, either. Seems like he'd be almost Petrino Lite. Bobby is all offense and no defense, but Leach would be forced to be all offense, no defense, and no talent.
That's true. If Cutcliffe is too abrasive for them, you know the shirtless roller-skating pirate isn't going to go over well when he starts talking about chubby little girlfriends. Also, I hear he cusses.
