This is has been a crazy six days in Ole Miss football. Less than a week ago we blew a 14 point lead in the 4th to our in-state rival. The next day we fired our coach and today we got a new one!
When I watched the press conference today, I kept thinking this all seems odd. Houston Nutt is saying he is an Ole Miss Rebel. It's still surreal to me.
The press conference today went well. Nutt is definitely a motivator. While I am thankful of all the good things that Coach O accomplished while at Ole Miss, I was glad to listen to our coach without cringing.
So, I look forward to our football future. I think with Nutt we have completed our quest to find outstanding coaches in all sports at Ole Miss. We are now top notch all around!
Oh yeah, we are 5-0 in basketball.

Welcome to Ole Miss Nutt
Well it seems to be official. We have a new but familiar coach in Oxford. Even though it hasn't officially been reported from all indications Houston Nutt will be taking over.
This is an interesting hire for the Rebels. We wanted an experienced coach and we got one. He comes into town with a good bit of talent waiting on him.
There are a lot of questions left to be answered but at least we know where to start.

Coaching Search begins
Deja-vu. Just a few years ago we were in this same situation. However, this time is different. The next Ole Miss coach will come into an ideal situation. We have talent. Many commentators have written about how attractive of a job we have. Here are a few snips:
"Look for the Mississippi job to attract a lot of attention, as Ed Orgeron left a stocked cupboard."--Sporting News
"Whatever the case, there will be a new sheriff in town, and he will have more than ample talent at his disposal.If the Mississippi State game was proof that game management was not Orgeron’s strength, it was also proof that the Rebels quite clearly have the talent to compete against a 7-5 bowl team.There was also talent enough for Ole Miss to play with some of the better teams in the conference, at least for periods of time.Orgeron’s successor will have something he never had, and that’s an SEC-caliber quarterback. Orgeron thought he signed such a player in Brent Schaeffer, but that attempt was incomplete." --Daily Journal
