Houston Nutt never wanted an "apology"

BREAKING: Lawsuit filed because of hopes of monetary gain

Problem is that Nutt is going to have a hard time proving damages.

Have you seen those lawyers? They have a counterterrorism agent, a FOIA and First Amendment Expert, and the top lawyer in Arkansas who has represented Walmart and Top policial figures in the state.

Not only will they be able to prove it, they'll find other things as well. That's why everyone is saying Ole Miss needs to settle, but they are acting childish as usual. It's not going to get pretty for Ole Miss the longer it drags out. With that group ole Miss will be lucky to keep the University open.

Even now, after 3 years of putting out fake news and spinning, we find yet another Ole Miss fan refusing to accept they've been wrong about everything and is dug in deep. I want to buy you a beer.

Not exactly. The statements could be found "per se" defamatory in that they targeted his business reputation. If they fall under such category, special damages would be presumed.

Ole Miss refused to take responsibility for the NOA (yet again) and saw an opportunity to throw Nutt under the bus.

Let's be clear, Ole Miss had the NOA and before it was public, media outlets began to report that sources at OM claimed the majority of allegations occurred under Nutt.

What's more likely? The media made up the Nutt story (even though the bigger story would be if Freeze was the culprit) or that Bjork and others lied to buy themselves time and save their recruiting class?

I'm going with team Sleazeball on this one. OM administration has had dozens of opportunities to come clean and they still haven't. Freeze has fricked up so bad that it cost him his job and yet the truth still isn't public.

OM is stalling because the same thing that cost Freeze his job is going to sink the entire university. Book it.

the best apologies are the ones that come with tons of money.

That he can prove a breach of contract, assuming that Mars is correct about the terms, is one thing. Proving beyond speculation that the breach actually damaged his prospects for getting a coaching job will be more difficult. Nutt went without a coaching job for several years before the "sources" threw him under the bus, at least in the press. That will make actual damages challenging to prove. However, he may be more successful on the punitive damage claim if he can prove the breach was in bad faith. But such damages are not available against the state, so that presumably he could recover such damages only from the foundation, which seems to unlikely unless the foundation was the employer of the sources.

So, yes, I think he has a substantial chance of winning the suit, again if Mars' construction of the contract is correct, but a large award of actual damages may be unlikely. And it is unlikely that a large punitive damage award could be obtained against the foundation .
