    Boone busts a Nutt would've won the thread title of the year. Just sayin. And I, too, can vouch for the Ole Miss coeds. I married one :D

    Nutt's gotta be happy that this time things didn't end with his cell phone records getting FOIAd.

    According to Nutt, he turned down Nebraska. He claims the NU plane was waiting for him at the Fayetteville airport, but he just couldn't get on it because he loved Arkansas too much.

    His manipulative agent spreads those rumors that would make you think Nutt was ready to be hired by the Dallas Cowboys.

    Orgeron deserved a fifth season to try and win something. Had he gotten a couple of good lieutenant coaches around him they might have stirred up something big, with all those recruits he was landing.
    Croom got a fifth year at State in that same stretch.
    Ed deserved one, too.

    Very, very nicely done. This is an A-list post if ever there was one.

    There are still LSU fans who think Saban seriously endorsed Nutt as his successor. Anything close to that would have simply been a favor to Sexton, who is Nick's agent too, and perhaps to Nutt. Sexton is good at keeping his clients' names out there, as we all know.

    I can't believe that Colorado will fire Embree after a year. The school held on to Hawkins an extra year because of the buyout and Embree wil have at least as big a buyout.

    But could the rumors be for Colorado State? Steve Fairchild is on his way out. And Nutt would make some sense there. He would be the biggest name the school could land and the thinking might be let's get a coach with a reputation and some success rather than bring in some coordinator with no experience and no name identification.

    Orgeron actually only got 3 years.

    Steak, I am laughing my ass off at the Rodney Dangerfield clip in your sidesaddle.

    Ed O deserved more than 3 years.
    That's just my opinion.

    Croom also won a bowl game and had a few moments where he looked like he might be on the right track. Orgeron had none of that.
