Doesn't it seem like there is a decent comparison for Brian Kelly to Houston Nutt. Houston Nutt came into the SEC during a time where many of the West's traditional powers couldn't put it all together and gleefully marched into the SEC West title on the back of the recruiting machine that came before him. Kinda cringy and the rest of the Fandom seemed to make fun of him, but for some reason announcers couldn't say a thing wrong about him.

Nutt had a better winning percentage than BK in his first season.

I don’t get why some hate Nutt so much. He coached some bad games but won some exciting games. He just stayed too long, he should have gone to Nebraska when they came for him.

Nutt didn't recruit for shite. BK does. And if by the "recruiting machine that came before him," do you mean the 39 scholarship players left on the roster when he took the job? Ya'll keep trying to convince yourselves that the man isn't going to have success at LSU. It's entertaining to watch.

Kiffin is a better comparison to Houston Nutt than Brian Kelly is, IMO.

Nutt didnt make it to his first SEC championship game until 2002 4 years after he was hired. WTF are you talking about?

Nutt wasn’t recruiting at lsu with the portal. He did bring in McFadden, Jones and Hillis though. Pretty shite recruiting I guess.

Houston Nutt 2.0

At Ole Miss, Houston did an on-the air phone interview from a restroom, and allegedly, while using the throne. The echo in the room was unmistakable. And I'm not certain, but I think he may have even power flushed.

The man stands alone.

If it were 3 on 3 we’d have been great. But it wasn’t, dumbass. Some of y’all on here stretch the limits of stupid.

The drama around the 2006 season soured him for a lot of people.

Piss off twit.

The portal didn’t exist when Nutt was here, prick, and he still pulled in a great class of skill players. Hate Nutt all you want dumbass.

The SEC had just won 2 NC's and would win a 3rd in Houston's first year. That's 3 more than it won the previous decade. So I wouldn't say they couldn't put it all together, even though they've since improved.

What was he missing on defense? Because that backfield should have been hard to control. Something was missing. Interior linemen?
