Ole Miss Coach Nutt: "Chizik Stole My Man"

The SEC's new rule that limits only 25 signees per class is something Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt blames for not being able to sign Auburn cornerback Jermaine Whitehead. Nutt said during a speech at the Monday Morning Quarterback Club in Birmingham....

"Gene Chizik came in and stole my man Jermaine Whitehead," "I asked Gene, 'Now Gene, you didn't even have a home visit.' It must be nice to hold up that crystal ball. Hold up a crystal ball and get one of my best players."

"He took my hand and said, 'Coach Nutt, I'm coming to play for you,'" Nutt said. "I took his word!"
