I supported Nutt until his last 3 years at Arkansas, but the drama continued to get worse with each season. He was\is a good players coach and motivator, but his managment and people skills are on par with Michael Scott. For me personally Bobby Petrino is a better fit to coach my Alma Mater and I like the direction he has the program going currently.

Thank heavens, a normal answer. I definitely agree with the people management issue and I am really turned off by Nutt's insistence on keeping the staff he has even if they underperform. I do think Nutt is a better recruiter whereas Petrino is a better schemer and practicer. On gameday in a vacuum though... I dunno.

Totally understandable.

Nutt currently has the Ole Miss fan base split, the slight majority still believe he is the right fit for HC at OM (for at least 1 more year).

This thread should have nothing to do with OM tho FWIW HTH
