ole miss could be a decent job, and i think they learned their lesson with cutcliff, tubbs, etc.

IF he wants to, a good while

He flirts with jobs quite a bit.

Sexton is good at that.

I know a very close friend of Nutt's they played together awhile at Arkansas or one was an assistant, but he is also a coach, and he said Nutt would probably retire there because Ole Miss fans would be happy with him just to win 7 or 8 games a year and that would be almost alot
less stress than most SEC teams demand now. THat
just what was passed to me from his friend of 30 plus years.

Yeah, Nutt's gonna have to improve in the recruiting sector to survive at Ole Miss.

Well enough to keep in bowl contention every year. And now he has a bigger talent base to pool from, as he will be able to go down to the coast and get some kids. As Mississippi per capita has most NFL players from the state.

OP was talking about winning big. You can't do this frequently with sub par players in the SEC. LSU/Bama rob MS blind of HS talent and then there's MSU in state.

They had nutsacks on this board who wanted to run Les Miles off less than a year removed from a National Championship.

After next year if he wants another job, he needs to bolt then b/c it's not going to get any easier after that. Next year they COULD win 10 games. What is the line the rebs were using the other day "returning 16 starters this next year?" or whatever and 13 of them are seniors.

The next year is when they start to slide. OM should do whatever within their power to keep Nutt. He will consistently win 6-9 games every year. The question then becomes will the OM fan base be content with that?

And Eli i know. I'm a hater.

I went back awhile back and looked ate mississippi's recruiting rankings. Although Orgeron recruited well, they still have not had a class in the top 20 but once in like 5 years. If he keeps this up, he should be able to recruit a better classes then that.

I really thought orgeron recruited better then the rankings suggest. but what people don't know about orgeron is his talent evalutation skills. He is one of the best in the buisness in thea regaurd.

We SHOULD win 10 games next year.

I completely agree with you. If Nutt doesn't step up the recruiting, there will be a serious slide. I, personally am happy with 6-9 games a year.

You still are. Even when you are right.

Good call MJ. Sumbitch has more money now than he can spend. As long as the Rebs keep him on a pedestal he'll stay.

How exactly did we learn our lesson with Tuberville??? He left Ole Miss and in a shady way. We did fire Cutcliff but that was because he recruited Eli and thought he had the team qb problem solved for years. He deserved to be fired. Also with Eli at qb he had 3 offensive plays he ran. The one year we made a run at it Eli was changing the plays at the line of scrimmage. He had no vision for the future of the program and after a sit down with Pete Boone (athletic director) he was relieved of his duties. The bad hire we had was Orgeron. While he did recruit he cause internal problems on the team and kept controversy stirred up. Great defensive coach but not head coaching material. Nutt fits Ole Miss well.

Not going to happen. This was one of the predominant complaints against Nutt at Arkansas.

Please do not take it as a knock on your program, as that is not my intent, but Ole Miss never has and never will have the facilities, funding, or statewide support that Arkansas has. Not going to happen. Ever. Period. End of story.

What is my point? If he can't recruit with what Arkansas has to offer (Petrino's class is currently #14), he will not do it at Ole Miss either. Nutt has always had classes between the high 20's (great year) and low 60's.

Ironically, that's where most of his teams finish ranked. Nutt is a mediocre, ho-hum coach that can inspire but not maintain.

Your eyes will be opened soon enough.
