Congrats Ole Miss, you just got Nutted




I can't believe Ole Miss fell for oldest trick in Houston Nutt's book.

"Houston Nutt and Mississippi agreed to a contract extension Friday that will keep the football coach in Oxford following a report he was a target for the Auburn opening."


does anyone at Ole Miss even pay attention to SEC football? Every year Nutt would magically "withdraw his name from consideration" from some job he wasn't being considered for. You really think Auburn was going to hire an Arkansas retread?

Now, it may not seem that big a deal because Nutt just led the Rebels to an 8-4 season and looks like he has Ole Miss headed in the right direction. But why extend a contract after a year? Worked out pretty well for Notre Dame.

Damn, I was thinking the same thing last night. This reeks of Rich-Rod, Charlie Weis and Petrino (only he actually leaves).
