Nutt went 18-16 with McFadden and other first round draft picks on both sides of the ball.

He was going to get fired in 2008. AD Frank Broyles was headed for retirement and he said publicly that was going to be a problem for him.

So he looked for jobs after the 2006 season and before the start of the 2007 season, he had an agreement with Ole Miss that he would be the next head coach.

So at 10 seasons in, if you can't win an SEC with that amount of talent then you will never will.

It also didn't help that his personality stepped on the toes of many hog fans and it helped create some drama in his last two years.

I was neutral on that subject. But Dale was a goober and a half. I don't know if he could have maintained it in the social media age.

In reality, Jeff Long fricked us when he fired Bobby.
