    No coach ever will be good enough for Mississippi. The resources don't and can't equal the expectations. Rich Brooks never won nine games in a season and finished 39-47 at Kentucky and was allowed to retire at his own discretion and sort of pick his successor. David Cutcliffe went 10-3 one season and 44-29 in seven at Mississippi and was fired after his only sub-.500 season.

    That's not entirely true. What happened was the AD at the time, Pete Boone, wanted Cutcliffe to make some changes to his coaching staff after that one losing season. Cut refused and was dismissed as a result.

    At the time, a fairly sizeable contingent of Ole Miss fans welcomed Cutcliffe's departure, arguing that his record was fashioned largely as a result of having Eli Manning. Looking back, though, I imagine most of those fans now wish the school hadn't been so quick to run Cut off. They had a guy who would've stayed there forever and probably continued to produce. Instead, they got in succession a meathead and a flim-flam man.

    David Cutcliffe couldn't recruit for shit. Eli Manning (who is the reason Cutcliffe got the job in the first place) drew some excellent skill players to Oxford early in Cutcliffe's tenure, but even that ran its course after a while.

    Ole Miss was petrified that Sylvester Croom would sign every decent black player in Mississippi, so they thought they needed a recruiter. That's why Cutcliffe got fired and they hired that south Louisiana caveman.
