Rebel Roundup - 12/8/09 - A bunch of Nutt to Kansas talk

All-SEC Team | SEC Sports dot com
Dexter McCluster, John Jerry, and Shay Hodge are first teamers, while Jerrell Powe and Dexter McCluster are second teamers. Yes, Dexter McCluster is both first team (APB) and second team (HB) in the nation's greatest football conference. All hail Dexter McCluster.

The Coaches' Poll Is Bat Country | SB Nation
In mocking the voters in the USA Today coaches poll, SBNation's Holly Anderson says:

But the clear "winner", if that's the right term, is Mississippi State's Dan Mullen, who has Georgia Tech and LSU in his top ten, no vote for Stanford or West Virginia, Utah at No. 16, Houston at No. 17, and Ole Miss at No. 19. Pssst, Mullen: Houston Nutt's got the yeehaw-crazy schtick all sewn up in your state. And there ain't room for two of him.

I'm just surprised the people at USA Today could interpret Dan Mullen's ballot, what with it being a list of schools given only in obscure geographic terms and all (ed: that sounds like a great post idea) (ed by Juco: why did you put an editor's note into your own post?).

Get to Know a Coaching Candidate | Rock Chalk Talk
Now into the fun football rumor of the week (a rumor which caused Google to send approximately a billion people to the Cup yesterday), the folks at SBNation's Kansas Jayhawk's site, Rock Chalk Talk, take a look at Houston Nutt's career in an attempt to determine if he's right for Kansas.

Houston Nutt? Kansas?!? | Team Speed Kills
Cock 'n' Fire is rightfully dumbfounded by this rumor:

Why on earth would Houston Nutt leave a semi-successful rebuilding job at Ole Miss to coach at a basketball school in the Big XII? I mean, aside from things like an undiagnosed mental illness...Maybe they don't have open-records laws in Kansas; I'm not sure.

Brandt's Info on the Situation
David Brandt reports that Shepard Smith says the rumor is totally bogus. I'll sleep better now. (Actually, I was sleeping fine anyway.)

I'm sleeping fine too.

I really think it would be ok if he left. I think that would open the door for Brian Kelly (if Notre Dame takes too long) or Tommy Tuberville (seriously) to come on over. I’m cool with both of those – even though I really like Kent Austin.

Brian Kelly or Tubs, seriously?

Neither would come here. Brian Kelly has his sights set on Notre Dame and Tubs wouldn’t likely come back (though I’d welcome him). I’m not that sold on Austin because he has said how much he hates recruiting. If you don’t like or want to recruit, then you really don’t have much business being in the college game.

Let’s save the “our next coach should be so-and-so” talk for a time when we definitely know we’ll need another coach. If that’s tomorrow, then fine. If that’s three years from now, then fine.

You’re no fun. Might as well talk about it since it is the only thing going on right now. Tubs has expressed before he would like to come back, and I could see Brian Kelly passing Notre Dame to build a program in the SEC; it really is not that far-fetched.

You’re absolutely right about Kent Austin. I just like having him and I do not see him sticking around if Nutt leaves.
