Sadly, I think he does keep his job if he avoids 0-8.
However, this was just one more in a long line of huge embarrassing failures for Eddie O. It was self inflicted, and it cost him. Orgeron makes coaching decisions the same way I do on NCAA '07. With reckless abandonment.
alright, alright...i wasn't even directing that comment at ole miss...i just mean the anarchy of the season has led to anarchy in the offseason. as a bama fan i think its fair to say that for better or worse, i've paid my dues in the "coaching search" dept.
Yeah, 8 bowls in 10 years and 18 wins the last two years is not competing for Nutt. Give me a break, the guy did a lot with a little and would do well at Ole Miss with the talent there.
The point is he should have done more at Arkansas with the talent and recruiting base he had. Bowls are great. Fun to go to and anyone with a winning season can get in. They are given out like awards at elementary school: best dressed, best handwriting, best pumpkin carving.... damn near everyone gets one and they don't mean as much anymore. How many SEC championships did he win? NONE. Arkansas went in 2002 and 2004 but lost. The only reason they went in 2002 was because Alabama's recruting violations kept Alabama out. Houston Nutt will have less talent (maybe not the first couple of years with O's recruits) and more recruiting competition at Ole Miss. Granted, he is a better coach than Orgeron, but can he coach less talent to higher pinnacles than he reached at Arkansas? Doubtful. PS-Bringing in a coach who has coached within the same conference is like picking up a date at the family reunion.
The Northeeast MS Daily Journal reports that Houston Nutt has closed the deal to be Ole Miss' next head coach. Ole Miss goes from bad to mediocre... for an extra million a year!!!
question. if the o can hold on and beat state, does he keep his job?? or was he toast either way??

Never Punt, bitch!
I've thought about it more, and I think Ole Miss should hire Gary Patterson of TCU.
ReplyDeleteyou interested in jeff bowers??
ReplyDeleteHell to the Naw.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should make a list of coaches I hate for Ole Miss.
1. Fran
2. Nutt
3. Jeff Bowers?!?
4. Tater Tot
5. Cutcliffe again (i've actually heard this)
6. Will Muschamp (no effing assistants)
7. Ears Witworth
8. Dinardo
9. Shula
10. Granny Holtz
Billy Brewer is available, if he will get out of the kitchen at the Blue Marlin, or what ever its called now.
ReplyDeletethis is going to be a fun offseason.
ReplyDeleteFor you maybe. You've already found your winning coach... well... at least a .500 coach (nudge nudge) hey hey hey!
