The Absolute Last Post About Houston Nutt

The rumors buzzing my phone tonight from people that purport to know something about what is going on up in the 'Zarks is that Mike Belotti from Oregon is the latest hire. Then the phone buzzed again and Auburn's Tommy Tuberville is still in play.

I have no earthly damn idea if any of this is true.

The President of the Board of Trustees of the UA system said , in an interview with the local paper, that the salaries of these coaches were out of control and that maybe the NCAA should impose a ceiling.

Stop us before we kill again.

He also said something along the lines of " Some of this money (paid to coaches) could be used for education."

What put that damn fool notion in Stanley Reed's head anyway? The notion that the athletic program has anything to do with the higher academic mission of the school, that is.

This entire transaction was handled badly. This was an exceptionally ugly divorce. But the Internet message board nerds that stupidly think that they were instrumental in running Nutt off are in for a rude surprise. The upside with Nutt at Ole Miss is way high. Way high being 7 wins a year. He will get that done at Ole Miss.

And he will be back, Internet message board boys. He will be back and he will be in your face. And there is nothing you can do about it. Not that your voices ever much counted for a whole lot in the first place.

Really.
