Almost as soon as Paul Pasqualoni was fired and sent on his way, the name of Houston Nutt surfaced as a possible candidate for the head coaching job at UConn. The Internet and college football chat rooms buzzed about the former Arkansas and Ole Miss coach being on the wish list of the decision makers in Storrs. Nutt, who is currently working for the CBS Sports Network as a football analyst, reportedly denied having any interest in the position.

However, Nutt’s actions may be signaling something different. According to a prominent high school football coach in Connecticut, Nutt reached out to him recently with a phone call to inquire about football in the state.

Now I just feel bad for Connecticut football. Though I can't see a guy who pronounces Enrique as "In Ricky" as a good fit for UConn football. But this has to be the equivalent of the Yankees having a problem finding a decent general their only option would be enlisting the help of the worst Confederate general that exists.

Nutt has the best agent since Custer when General Terry told President Grant "He's got this, no worries."

I would never wish Houston Nutt on another SEC program. He has already ran two into the ground, poor Arkansas still hasn't recovered.

The thing about the Nutt is that he's a mediocre coach that can actually pull a rabbit out of his hat from time to time. He had some good players to make it happen -- DMac, Felix, Shawn Andrews, etc -- but he's engineered some bafflingly unlikely seasons and upsets (1998 was just bizarre.) He could very well manage to make noise at UConn, probably by going 1-11 one season and 9-3 the next, then back to 0-12 followed by 10-2, and so on until the entire football program collapses from the bipolar chaos.

A Vandy fan defining mediocre coach has to be treated with a scale, jk dude. Anyone who thinks Nutt isn't an idiot I will send you a complete copy of the 2007 Alabama/Arkansas game free of charge.

Here you go. Watch just the fourth quarter. Saban's first example of destructive level outcoaching the guy opposite him while in Bama uniform but certainly not the last.

He could sign 50 players a year at UConn and nobody would give a shi*.

Ole Miss was smart. We kept him for 10 years.

Ya know...the guy might actually have some success somewhere like Hendrix.
