Ole Miss' hires since Cutcliffe have been improvements?
That has nothing to do with him being fired. Yes, the Orgeron hire was bad, but that in itself doesn't justify the "Cutcliffe shouldn't have been fired" argument.
I also think that, given our situation at the time, that the Nutt hire was a bad one. Yes, I don't think he's a great coach, but I'm not stupid enough to think that he hasn't improved our program while here. I do not think he's going to do any better than he has, though, which is why the Rebels should look elsewhere if the economy/coaching landscape seems like it would work out in our favor.

Yeah, I'd say that firing was a mistake.
Your only somewhat decent argument is that he wasn't given enough time to "rebuild" a quarterback position he had been recruiting into for, what, six years or so.
Also, you know little of his firing. He was asked by the AD to fire his defensive coaches after his final season (our defense was also horrible in 2003 when we went 7-1, we just got lucky enough and had a good enough offense to win games). He refused, so he was fired.
