I figured I'd start a thread for anything and everything concerning the NCAA investigation or any of its proxy suits/other (semi-)related matters, seeing that a former head coach is now officially suing the University.

Notable Ole Miss beat writers Dan Wolken and Pat Forde unsurprisingly were some of the first national guys to hop on the Nutt story (could it be a rag of a story? a Nutt rag?).

Personally, I think it's somewhat absurd for anyone who witnessed 2010 & 2011 to believe that Nutt doesn't have a job for any reason other than the nadir of those seasons.

But yeah, seeing that something related to our situation happens almost as frequently as a presidential tweetstorm, I figured our board could use an umbrella thread

With Ole Miss concentrating on the Ole Miss case, maybe Nutt figures they will
pay him to go away. How many millions did he walk away with ?

Standing on their own, each false, misleading and defamatory statement made by Coach Freeze and other members of the Athletics Department from 2014 through 2017 harmed Coach Nutt’s reputation as a football coach...


Uh-nope. 2010-2011 did that.

What an a-hole Nutt is.

Hasn't he hurt us enough? Just pay the fricker and be done with it.

Exactly. Just write his arse a check and send him packing. Again. With a clear stipulation this is it. We are done with him and he can't come back for more. Ever.

Soooo...I ask again for the millionth time. How long do we continue to ride this train? Until it rides off the cliff?

Fire Freeze. Name Luke the interim coach and move on. Does Freeze know where the bodies lay? We are a running joke at this point.

I personally see no way Nutt's lawsuit has legs....the guy got canned from Arkansas, came to Ole Miss and basically wouldn't recruit nor control the team. He won with O's players but then didn't win an SEC game his last 2 years and when he left he barely had enough players academically eligible to field a team. All that is fact and what University wants to bring his arse in to decimate their program. Additionally, back in 2015 the narrative was exactly what he claimed it was. It wasn't until draft night things changed. So this is a desperate act of an idiot guy that wants to be relative.

You still can't tell us what Freeze has done wrong. Read your Bible, or do they teach that at Mississippi Southern?

So do some of y'all see that "these earth shattering" (said with tongue firmly planted in my cheek) were released this week for impact. That being said it seems it had its desired effects with some fans which I can understand.

In regards to Nutt's laawsuit, his lawyer is competent but still not sure how it has legs and can likely go away quickly. In regards to LL & KJ the most interesting thing is the guy who is representing KJ came out of retirement to represent him....and will give Merkel a run for his money....LL's lawyer not so much.

What the hell are you talking about? Read my Bible? What does the Bible have to do with anything we are talking about. How many times do you habe to state I GRADUATED from USM. Most of the people on here already know that. I was born and raised in Oxford. You seem to want to discredit my fandom. Smart people go to the school best suited for the major they want to study. Not to be a full time fan.

What has Freeze done? Absolutely nothing. Which is in part some of the problem. Freeze sent the stupid zass text challenging everyone and they momma to report any and everything daring the NCAA to find something. Freeze is the guy who under his watch allowed cheating with Leo Lewis with the freaking NCAA ON CAMPUS! Freeze is the man who flat lied to recruits stating that most of the alleged infractions were from the prior coaching staff. So please spare me on what has he done.

I don't have a issue with Freeze the man. I think he is a great man and the best coach we've had in 70 or so years. I understand the argument of people who want to keep him. I get it. My feelings on the matter however are there is no one man who is above the university. How long do we ride this out and at what cost? When is it too much and we just cut ties and pick up the pieces?

At the time Nutt is talking about (prior to the 2016 signing day) absolutely nothing in the 2nd NOA was known about....so yes, the most egregious violations where regarding Nutt's tenure.

Correct. Only Steve Robertson, Dan Muffin, and the NCAA knew what was behind Door #2.

I feel like the actual punishment won't be that bad, but they're gonna keep dragging our name through the mud to get the desired effects. Little stories and allegations will keep popping up for the next couple of years until we have a few really shitty seasons and recruiting classes.

For what? Nothing changed except Nutt trying to go to the bank. Luke as interim HC? Are you fooking kidding me!?
