I Told You Houston Nutt Was A Crazy person

Boom goes the dynamite.

In short, Chizik handled the situation like a professional. Nutt should try that approach next time.

One more thing on the subject of commitment. Someone should remind Nutt that, behind the scenes, according to people close to him, he expressed interest in the Alabama job after Mike Shula left and the Auburn job after Tuberville departed. Nutt's interest in the Auburn job came after he'd been at Ole Miss for only one year.

Judging by the performance of both Nick Saban and Chizik, it's safe to say that neither Alabama nor Auburn has any regrets about Nutt. Can Ole Miss say the same?

Hopefully, that's gonna' leave a mark.

That made me both joyous at the "what could have been's" had that crazy motherfucker been at Turdville, and nauseated at how Auburn dodged a bullet, all at the same time.

What's scary is that when Shula left, I would have been OK with Nutt. I stated numerous times when the Saban rumors came up that there was no way in hell Saban would even consider coaching at Alabama. Looking back at some of the people we were hoping for (Rich Rodriquez, Spurrier, Nutt?, etc), Alabama most certainly dodged a bullet. As fans, we were desperate for anybody that came close to looking like they knew what the fuck they were doing.

I have no real skreetz, but have heard that Yella Fella was pimping Nutt hard at the end of Tub's gig. Whew! And, BTW, I think Nutt is entertaining, and not nearly as bad a coach as some haters think, but I wouldn't want him at Auburn.

He absolutely is....at someone else's program.

Then you're simply willfully blind to the facts.

What facts? I didn't say great coach. Just not as bad as some think.

If you are getting run from Ole Miss with those expectations, you are indeed a bad corch.

I think he is a bad coach now. He has lost it for some reason or another.

I don't think he was this bad of a coach at Arkansas. I DO NOT think he would remotely fit in at Auburn.

Teressa Pruitt would agree with you.

If you noticed in my post that started this I said "..but I wouldn't want him at Auburn." Thus, it's just not worth the effort to debate it.

^^THIS!

You can't completely suck as a coach and win the SECW at a place like Ark, or win 9 games 2 years straight at a place like Ole Miss.

I do think he's lost it. I think he'd do great if he went to a job like where Terry Bowden is, and got to be a football coach, and not a CEO and face of a high profile program. There's lots of really good football coaches that are not even remotely cut out to e Div 1 BCS level coaches.

Teressa Pruitt would agree with you.

I didn't say he was sane or ethical.

He typically averaged 8-9 wins at Arky and a top 25 finish without top 25 talent. Most, at the time, considered him to be one of the coaches (along with Tubs and Ferentz at Iowa) who got a lot out of players. Something has happened since then. He even won 18 games his first 2 years at Ole Miss. If you could win 9 games a year at Ole Miss over your whole career that would probably be considered a success. I'm not saying Nutt is a good or great coach by ANY means. I just don't think he's always been as bad as he is right now. I'm not sure what the hell happened the last 2-3 years. Maybe the chickens are coming home to roost, maybe it's karma. Who knows. But yeah, right now - he's pretty bad.

Nutt showed interest in Auburn, not the other way around....Thank GAWD!!!
