Tuesday Question: Part II

I think it definitely puts a burden on him to step his game up. I don’t think he’ll be fired after this year, regardless of how the rest of the games go, but it’s a serious hit to the respect and fan-support he’s gained over the past two seasons.

But this moves him much closer to it than he was before. He’s not revered the same way anymore and until and/or unless he manages to win an SEC championship, probably won’t be the same way he was at Ole Miss again. Even if Ole Miss wins 9 games this season and goes to a good bowl again this loss will still linger. People barely remember Michigan beat Florida in a bowl game (Outback?) in 2007 after a good season, they remember Michigan lost to Appalachian State to start the season.

If Ole Miss doesn’t make a bowl I think you can safely say he’ll be on the hot seat for next season. This is after all the SEC and that loss to JSU will override a lot of good things that may (or very well may not) occur from here on out.

If not, the way your defense is playing right now, he would more than likely still rips your asses apart. Good luck with that one. I hear Mallet loves to eat shark.

On another note, how ’bout that Arkansas defense? #16 nationally.
I know you guys like defensive rankings, so I thought I would share.

I do recognize that we have that “jailbird thug low-life” Masoli on the team. However, as a Rebel, neither he nor his competing teammates have demonstrated anything but class through the entire process.

His players quit? Houston Nutt quit! I’m a Nutt fan and think it’s retarded to suggest he be fired for what happened Saturday. But that abortion we witnessed falls squarely and totally on his shoulders. He didn’t just let his foot off the gas pedal after halftime, he slammed on the goddamn breaks. In attempting not to run up the score on his old mentor, he managed to 1) show a lack of respect for his mentor’s team and 2) completely blow what could/should/would have been an easy win. We let up on both offense and defense. Had we continued to score in the 3rd and 4th quarters, even a little, we keep the carrot far enough away from the Cocks that they probably don’t find the confidence they needed to climb back into the game. Yes, we have some problems on defense. But, in the first half, while we weren’t getting sacks, we were in the QB’s face most plays and disrupting their passing game. That rushing three linemen and prevent shit absolutely killed us.

But I don’t see how you can say the coaches had nothing to do with it. The playcalling drastically changed offensively and never changed defensively as the game went on. In other words, the offense went conservative and the defense never adjusted. Besides, if the players do quit, it’s the coaches’ job to fire them back up.

I will say this, Nutt needs to turn Ole Miss around for the rest of the season, or he WILL be on the hot seat next year.

There is no reason to call for heads in this situation b/c shit happens and that’s why the game is played…both halves. C’est la vie. Some would disagree. I don’t think it’s unreasonable, however, to ask for something that shows the coaches and players learned from this painful lesson.

Hurrah!

That said, I’d much prefer Nashville to Memphis, and I’d prefer Jacksonville to Nashville, but that’s not likely to happen.

we’ll need that to make it through this desert of despair

is a asshat of the highest order. If Mark May hit his head, decided he wanted to do something nice, and offered to give his entire salary to Ole Miss, I’d reject it solely because he such a royal prick. I wish only the worst kind of death and long suffering in hell for him.
