Ole Miss Head Football Coach Houston Nutt Fired; Athletic Director Pete Boone Rumored to Step Down Soon - Monday Open Thread, or "Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes"

Email
PrintChristmas has come early for many Rebel fans, with Houston Nutt being "fired" - meaning he will not be retained after the Egg Bowl game - and controversial athletics director Pete Boone rumored to be stepping down. We will have more details on this as they become available but, for now, it's time for wild speculation and wish listin'. Considering the sheer magnitude of readers and comments we are sure to have today, we thought it best to set up an open thread and just let you all have at it.
Pertinent Information:
It is being reported by multiple sources that Houston Nutt will not be retained as head coach for next season. We will find out today at a 2PM press conference whether or not he will be coaching the remainder of the Rebels' games this season, but all sources indicate that he will remain in Oxford through the Egg Bowl.
It is also being reported that Pete Boone will be stepping down as the Ole Miss Athletics Director as soon as a successor is named. A search committee will be employed to find a replacement. We should know more about that today as well. The press conference during which these announcements are going to be made official will be available on OleMissSports.com.
Now, let the rumor mongering begin!

Let me be the first to say this
It has always been our stance here with the blog that Pete Boone gets hated on way too much. I personally believe he did a good job at Ole Miss for a long time. However, the fan base is incredibly divided right now, and he’s a big portion of why that is. There comes a point where, when you’re hated enough by such a large chunk of the base, you simply have to leave and let them move on. The time is now for Pete Boone.

As an addendum, let me also say
that losing a lot of games is a much bigger reason for the fanbase’s division.

I agree.
And I came to say that while the Colonel Reb folks can celebrate this as a victory all that they’d like, the reality is that the person that steps in to replace Boone will likely tow the party line even more extensively than Boone when it comes to the black bear.
There will be no reconciliation to those that stand in the way of moving on.
I never get Chicken on a Stick at Chicken on a Stick, but I love Chicken on a Stick.
I would love for this new AD to come in and say
“first things first, fuck all of y’all who are bound to bitch at me about the Colonel. I’m not one to trifle around with mascot bullshit, so forgive my impatience with those who do.”
If he does that, I’d be all like

100% agree. While I might be happy as hell that Boone is leaving, I do not hold any personal or professional ill will towards the man.
He’s stepping aside at the right time (instead of digging in his heels and over staying his welcome for the sheer spite of it as has been reported a few times) because he realizes that he cannot get the job done simply because times have changed around him.
He was probably the perfect guy to come in and put our program on track from the disastrous 70’s and 80’s. Overall, the big three programs are better off than when he got here, and that’s really all we could ask for. He is simply not capable of leading this Ath Dept in the direction needed to gain ground on the current SEC. We need a new guy and Boone is allowing us to get one. Thanks Pete.

That would have saved us a crap ton of trouble.
Exactly.

new coach/AD
My realistic coach short list is (in order) Kirby Smart, Kirby Smart (yes i meant to put him twice), Gus Malzhan, then maybe Mike Leach.
I would love to see us go after Boise’s Chris Peterson. Call me crazy, but IMO he is a top 5 coach, and I know for a fact our boosters have the money to go after him.
AD shortlist: Anyone but Boone.

Why Would Peterson Come to Ole Miss?
With BSU getting invites to AQ conferences, why on Earth would Peterson want to jump ship to the disaster that is our program?

And Big East, or SEC?

Again,
Petersen will not leave Boise State, a top 5 program that is making a move to an AQ conference, for Ole Miss. His son battle cancer there and everyone there is extremely supportive and accommodating. Too often we let our “But this is the SEC” talk get in the way of facts. Do you think Petersen is willing to leave a program that could be on the cusp of another BCS berth for a team that just got trolled by Kentucky and would require a half decade just to be competitive in their own division?

"But We're the SEC"!!!
Mexter has touched on this, too, but nobody in their right mind would rather coach the the absolute worst team in the SEC than have a legitimate chance of winning one of the other BCS conferences on a regular basis.
Crootin’ also hit on the fact that, if Peterson WERE to jump ship, (which I don’t think he will, at least not until the dust clears with the whole conference realignment thing), there are far better programs with far deeper pockets that could grab him.
Plenty of programs have tried...
he doesn’t want to leave, particularly after watching Dan Hawkins’ downfall.
You're crazy
Florida got snubbed by Peterson. He ain’t coming. I don’t think Kirby Smart is realistic either. I could see Venables from OU or Arkansas State’s coach. Leach is probably the best bet but he seems doomed to be unemployed forever and is controversial to some.
Why Smart?
Give me what you like about him.
I’ll go ahead and give you my reasons for not liking him:
It’s Saban’s defense. We can’t out-Saban him. It was good before Smart and it will be good after.
Dooley, Muschamp, and Fisher are all underwhelming and have come nowhere close to matching Saban’s success.
He will have to assemble a staff which will take a while in a critical recruiting period.
We can’t compete with Bama and LSU straight up – we have to come up with an offense that goes away from their strength.
Smart could hire and OC that could take care of the last concern, but Freeze, Leach, and Sumlin check a lot more boxes for me. Malzahn would be preferable to Smart too.
me.
You keep your grubby mitts of Kirby Smart.
We kinda like him round here. :)

Peterson is not coming to Ole Miss.
He could get a job at Ohio State or another premier school. He is not coming to Ole Miss and ruin his resume.
New Coach and AD
I would like to see Kent Austin come back as head coach…Romero Miller for AD….at least he has a fire and passion and really wants to get back to competing with as he calls them, “the leg humpers in Starkville….” Both are Ole Miss Alums and realize what it means to compete with them for in state recruits…
No.
Just no. No to both of those suggestions.
We cannot simply hire athletic directors based on the fact that they played football at Ole Miss.

Kent Austin has a losing record as the head coach at Cornell. If you’re going to hire a Div 1-AA (FCS, whatever) guy, he better be an absolute champion at that level.

Kent is a very capable coach and has a great offensive mindset….I am not basing it on the fact solely that they went to Ole Miss but I would prefer someone that CARES about the school and moves forward with the program as to a new outsider that knows nothing of the culture and tradition….we have enough division now with someone else coming in that does not have a clue as to what is going on in the fan base and alumni…If you ignore the reality of that then you are setting the new replacements up for failure before they even are hired….
Fuck Tradition and Fuck Culture
Hire a coach who can build a fucking program and win fucking football games. If they use it as a stepping stone, FINE, so long as they leave the cupboard stocked for the next guy.

Like Saban did at Michigan State and LSU...
Shit, Mike Gundy owes Les Miles a huge debt of gratitude for bringing OSU back to relevance. I don’t care if someone uses us as a stepping stone so long as they don’t leave us completely fucked when they leave. I don’t give a shit whether he loves the school or not, just bring us out of consistent failure and mediocrity and make it sustainable.

As a Bama fan, I completely agree
Our return to national prominence didn’t happen until we hired a coach that didn’t have time for all that tradition bullshit. Hire the best person money can buy and tell everyone to stay the hell out of his way. Trust me on this.

What about Auburn??
What about the “BS” tradition of competing with Auburn? Has that gone away? I don’t think that tradition has been trashed by anyone on the Bama or Auburn side…I would prefer that we have no mascot at all and just move on but I think an emphasis needs to be made to compete harder against MSU….I would hope whoever they hire would realize the need to compete well against State in order to compete for our in state recruits…I miss the days of the mid field fracas pre-game of the players…at least they showed some fire then…
I would also like to point out how I was heckled at Talladega last fall by Bama fans about the Black Bear fiasco, when they saw my Ole Miss sweatshirt….then the guy came over and put his arm around me and said, not to take it seriously they were just having a little fun and they felt badly for us but he also noted that no way in hell would that crap happen with touching the BAMA traditions without a bigger fuss than what was happening on our side and they didn’t understand why the Alumni didn’t put up a bigger fight….so don’t be so quick to dismiss traditions on your side either.
Agreed,,,that kind of thinking...
started this cycle of bad hires. We need to get Nutt off campus and let someone else finish the year. Fans will return due to the change. Recruiting won’t wait until Jan. A new coach can start before he arrives. Put his own staff together before recruiting gets hot.

See...this is what I am talking about....
Why all the name calling and vulgar language? Why do we feel the need to belittle our fellow fans because they express an opinion of theirs….grow up and allow others to have an opinion and state yours without sounding like the names you used yourself…This is exactly what my problem was with the Forward Rebels all along…we are all Ole Miss fans but feel the need to name call and bad mouth anyone that has a different opinion….I truly don’t see the value in that…
We are kinda mean to eachother around here.
That’s sorta just how it goes.
And, come on, the Kent Austin suggestion was kindof a bad one.

Who knows....
I don’t pretend to think he is the best choice out there but our offense clicked when he was here with Nutt. And yes, we are very mean to each other here and as I said earlier, that was my issue with the Forward Rebels…they were open to no opinions except theirs …..I have never seen Rebel fans call each other the names they have like I have the last few months….very sad…there is a lot of healing to be done…
I think if you searched some of the archives here,
you’d find much worse.
And Kent Austin made that offense click because he had Michael Oher, Mike Wallace, Shay Hodge, John Jerry, the Jevan Snead that was a top-10 QB prospect, Dexter McCluster, a young Brandon Bolden et al. It would have taken proactively bad coaching to not score some points with those guys.
By those standards, Tyrone Nix should be in the running because he had awesome defenses that were loaded with NFL talent for two seasons.

In the end, it’s just a blog and I don’t expect any of us will travel across state lines and blow another blog-participant’s brains out like the LSU/Bama tragedy a couple of years ago. we’re all pretty much more realistic than they are. HAHAHAA
And thanks for the commentary I took as quite the compliment.
The Virginia quake that registered in August 2011 was the direct result of the United States Government bouncing a $14 Trillion Check.
My vulgarity and name calling increase in direct proportion to the level of retardation in the post or poster.
It’s not that you have a DIFFERENT opinion. It’s the fact that your suggested opinion is so epically awful.
Look, we are not Bama, Florida or LSU. We do not have hundreds, upon hundreds of thousands of alumni and fans all across the nation. The number of Alumni and childhood fans (hell, throw in family members as well) of Ole Miss who are even remotely connected to coaching football is about 1/10 the number of those much larger schools. So the chances of the next truly great, innovative, energetic, smart and competent AD or HC having some connection to Ole Miss are just about ZERO.
It’s ludicrous and ignorant to suggest that we start the search by looking at people connected to Ole Miss. I have nothing against either Romaro or Austin. I think both are great men who have at least SOME passion for Ole Miss and in Romaro’s case, would do anything that would help us progress. BUT, that does not qualify them above other candidates. In fact, we should start by looking for and evaluating the ABSOLUTE BEST OPTIONS AVAILABLE, REGARDLESS OF THEIR “CONNECTION” TO OLE MISS. We have a serious, SERIOUS problem at this school of hiring people because we know them, and not because they are the best solution. Maybe Austin will become head coach one day in the future, and who knows, maybe Romaro will ultimately be our AD in the future. But right now, here, today, neither is even remotely in the same CLASS with other options that are available to us.
Are you at least STARTING to see how stupid your suggestions were? We have the option to hire any number of LIGHTYEARS more qualified, experienced and talented people other than your suggestions. To belabor the point, please point out why Kent Austin is a better option than Kirby Smart or Kevin Sumlin…
Yes, yes, yes, and yes.
Anything that even has the scent of something we’ve already done should be decried, why? Three and a half decades of near total misery speak for themselves.
Furthermore we don’t curse each other, we curse for the sheer impact of it. Its difficult to read emotions into a chat box, but a well placed “what the fucking hell are you talking about” gets the point across. Other than that, everyone is respected here, unless of course, one is a slimy, filthy, piece of shit trolling turd knocker making trouble in our space. Plus, my wife doesn’t like it when I curse at home.
This is a great day fellow Rebels, enjoy it.
Oh...now I see....
Ok…let me explain it for you before you have a melt down about some one suggesting someone other than your ‘sexy" hires…The question was asked and I merely responded with Kent and Romero’s names as two I would like to see get a chance, I know that the likelihood of them actually getting the jobs are slim and none….but neither you or anyone else can say for certain that they wouldn’t do a good job just like you can’t say for certain that Sumlin, Smart, Leach, or Malzohn will do a good job….throwing a lot of money at a football coach is a crap shoot and you know it…As a matter of fact we all know from past experience, we will be back here again in 3 to 5 years going thru this same process again no matter who the hire is this time…he will either fail and the wailing and gnashing of teeth will begin or he will do too well and he will take his pine box with him a la Tuberville to a sexier job than Ole Miss…I am at least relieved that my state of dementia is not so advanced that I have stopped buying tickets and attending games such as suggested by people that say they are TRUE educated supporters of the program…so that is they part I enjoy, going to and watching games….I don’t submit any statistics for Kent other than he has CFL playing and head coaching experience and college coaching experience…it is not like he hasn’t paid his dues…As far as Romero goes, I didn’t submit his name because he went to and played at Ole Miss but at least he has a fire and passion for winning and understands what is means to compete and beat State in order to have a chance at our in state recruits….Seems like I remember being taken to task by a Bama fan that we should hire and trash our traditions for the sake of winning….Hmmmm….easy for him to say…I don’t see anyone trashing the Iron Bowl tradition of winning that game…I bet if Saint Saban were to lose to Auburn three years in a row, you think they wouldn’t call him in ask him hey Nick, WTF??? You know they would…..So what about our tradition of the Egg Bowl…where did the fire go for that? It sure didn’t seem to exist in Nutt, he never seen to grasp it and he isn’t an UM insider and I don’t think anyone else brought in from outside is going to either…so if our winning the last game of the year is no longer important, no matter how many games we win or lose before it…then why don’t we just melt the damn golden egg down and call it what it is…a football game and move on….So, I could care less about a name coach or AD who wants to win and make himself look good doing it, I just want someone that is interested in kicking ass and taking names and particularly taking a rolled up newapaper to some bullpup ass again and showing them all those maroon billboards don’t mean diddly…So you experts have at it hoss…knock yourself out…see you in 3 to 5….
Shit. A search committee.

I would not trust any recruiting firm...
They are really only looking to hire the people that they employ (or at least pay them money). Look at the utter disaster that was the Arkansas Basketball Coach hires after Nolan Richardson and Stan Heath. Both were “firm” hires and both were sorry. Also, there was a firm that was pushing a different head football coach until the Arkansas AD contacted and hired Coach Petrino.
Ole Miss need to hire a good AD that has some connections so they can bring in an up and coming (but somewhat established) head football coach

negative about Nutt on this site (maybe once, but I was shown the error of my past ways). I enjoy the active board here, I have some friends that I grew up with that went to Ole Miss, I have always kind of considered Ole Miss as a friendly rival, like all SEC schools (except Tennessee, bunch of arrogant snobs!). I didn’t come here gloating about Nutt, the game vs Arkansas, or anything other than support and what I thought would be best for Ole Miss. I believe that the stronger all SEC schools are (except Tennessee, screw them) the better it is for everyone concerned.

True. Co-chaired by Fed Ex big shot and Ole Miss fan/booster Mike Glenn.
So long as Glenn has true input and power to balance Archie, I’m okay with this. If Glenn is a figurehead to lend credence to Archies personal choice, I’m NOT sold.
Would Archie be the "figurehead"? I don't know if he really
cares anymore.
I'm fine with that as well. I just don't want Archie to make the call all by his lonesome.
I’m not sold on the fact that he would ignore the GOB’s and pick the truly best candidate we can get to come here. I could be 100% wrong about that. Maybe Archie is adamantly against the GOB’s and would spit in their faces if they suggested someone (Hugh friggin Freeze). I simply don’t know him well enough, nor his position on the GOBN.
I’m sure he cares. And I would hope that he would relish the opportunity to put us back on the right track with a really fantastic hire. We shall see…
I don't know either....just figure Archie was placed
to make the hire more acceptable to the fan base. There aren’t many that will call Archie an idiot for his choice in AD or Coach. Plus, I would think Archie’s plate is full watching Eli play and Peyton recover from sugery?? I don’t know

Good point. The CR crowd would be hard pressed to bitch at Archie for his hand in hiring our next AD/HC who
immediately dispels any “return of CR” rumors. Maybe he was chosen specifically to repute that contingent of ass clowns.
I’m liking this setup more and more as we discuss. Let’s go get a couple great new pieces to the chess set.

Actually no, I'm a staunch conservative fiscally, politically and socially with some
“I don’t care what you do in your own home/car/life, but the gov’t will not tell me what to do in mine” woven in for good measure.
Typing Colonel Reb gives me the willies not because I hate the Col (for the record, I love him and will ALWAYS keep my CR gear because he was a part of Ole Miss, I have simply moved on because I see how not having him as a part of Ole Miss is better for everyone), but because it means that crazies, racists and terdishun hounds like yourself are going to come out of the wood work spouting shit like, “The Colonel was a good man, he ain’t never hurt no body and if yew don’t like it, git out!!!” and “Political correctness has gone too far when it takes away my Southern Heritage!!!”.
I cringe because of what YOU PEOPLE have turned CR into. Not because I dislike him. I have plenty of CR figurines, hats, t-shirts, golf towels, socks, etc in my home. I will NEVER get rid of them, but I have put them away/stop displaying them in public. I am a RBB supporter and I will buy all new stuff with Rebel on it if the University decides to go that direction (and I hope they do). Col Reb was great, he’s gotten old, out dated and through no fault of his, yours or anyone elses, in this day and age, we’re better off without him.

Venables
I think we go after Brent Venables. He’s young, energetic, and will knock the players down with a belly bump after a big play. Reminds me a lot of Will Muschamp. He’s used to winning at OU. He’s coached under Bob Stoops and Bill Snyder, two proven winners, and with his defenensive prowess, he would eliminate the option of keeping Tyrone Nix.
Neither Petersen or Meyer would EVER come here. I don’t think Leach would thrive offensively in the defense centered SEC (especially the SEC West). Malzhan seems like he lucked out having Cam Newton. Freeze is still a little green in the college ranks. And I honestly know very little about Kirby Smart or Kevin Sumlin.
I really think Venables would bring some much needed intenisty and energy, and I honesly think we could get him if we really wanted to.

Never said Peterson would come here, yet money and playing in the SEC speaks volumes, but i would much rather have Kirby Smart with Brent Venables. They get the same talent, but Kirby Smart turns that into the #1 defense in the nation
www.twitter.com/blakekirbyreb
Nick Saban
plays a big part of Bama having the number 1 defense. Not saying Smart isn’t a good coach, but Saban is significantly invovled.

We're not going to be able to offer the amount it would take to leave
He’s already scheduled to make $1.6 million this year. We’d have to go up to 2.5 for a first year coach to get him. Even then, I doubt he leaves. Being an SEC homer, it makes sense. But you have to keep in mind that outside the SEC, perceptions are not the same. I would wager that 90% of coaches would rather be at Boise State right now than Ole Miss.
Like I said, if I’m wrong and we somehow got Petersen, you can punch me in the genitals.

couldn't disagree more on that one
Venables does not get the opportunity to coach the same defensive talent as Kirby Smart.
I dread the search committee process
to replace Boone. We’ll wait for that job to be filled first, then start the search for a coach. By then Ole Miss fans will have dogged every coach available. This fan base won’t agree on ANYBODY.
I hope so, but who will
do the hiring? Anybody hired while Boone is around is going to have a stink on them that some fans will hold against him.
The committee will hire the coach
Boone is just going to stick around for the day-to-day operations while first we hire a coach and then find a new AD. He should have ZERO impact on the process.
Bring on the assitant coach looking for a stepping stone
There’s Mike Leach and then there’s everyone else. Doubt we can get Leach, but I’d sure as hell try. Otherwise, I can’t get too excited about another team’s DC.
I mean....
we’ve been a stepping stone for ONE coach in our program’s history. I’d take another coach who comes in and exceeds expectations before being hired away by someone else. What’s wrong with that?

If this is the high point in the lives of the Forward Rebels, let them think they’re important for 24 hours. I’m glad Boone is gone, too, as I think many of us are. Once they realize everyone else related to Ole Miss wanted Boone out due to our athletic teams being horrible, rather than some nonsense about a mascot, that will about take care of their movement.

If we can’t get a grand slam AD out of another athletic department, why not let the only guy who’s done anything good around the program the past couple of years take over? I at least wish they would let him be interim AD while we look for a successor instead of Boone waiting around to see who his replacement is.

I guess my concern/suprise is in
how these kids today run to the internet to express their outrage. The team is just awful and the W/L record is proof enough. No signs of improvement or excitiment during the games. Mistakes and miscues at critical times. Stupid crap all year. We look like the MSU teams under Emory Bellard.
If you had a great job at a large company and your boss was running the company into the ground, would you post your disappointment over his being dismissed? Even when he collects a great bonus for being dismissed?
I don't know
if the employee-employer relationship is comparable to the coach that offered you the opportunity to play college football. Nutt’s players like him, they just aren’t learning shit. You can like a guy who sucks at his job.

I agree, just don't shout your
disappointment from the roof tops. If you don’t want to play for “A” replacement then let it be known to the athletic department so they can get your paperwork started and a spot will open up next year for a new guy.
Sorry if that sounds ugly, but I just don’t get the anger/frustration of the players. They should understand more that ANYBODY. If you don’t perform, there is always another guy willing to step into your spot.
The only thing I've seen is a couple players saying things like
“Whatever you think, Nutt had my back and I like him.”
I haven’t heard or seen any player tweets/FB status updates (which isn’t quite “the rooftops”) saying that Nutt doesn’t deserved to be fired. All I’ve seen is players saying they like their head coach and have his back and such.

They’re a bunch of 18-22 kids who were boy kings at their high schools and are now members of the worst team at Ole Miss in my living memory, and the guy who brought a lot of them there and professed a belief in them is getting sent to the shed, and they probably feel part of the blame for that, and that this is also a referendum on them.

I understand why some might think the criticisms of Boone are harsh, but look beyond just football. We have the worst sports program in the SEC currently, and one of the worst in the nation if you really look at it. It sucks to hear that but look at the back page of a DM on monday and you will usually see all losses.

We’re definitely not in a good place right now. There was a time a few years ago when all three of our money sports were nationally ranked though.

Don’t get me wrong, I wanted it sooner rather than later, but look at the programs seeking a HC…UCLA, Ohio State, etc. NOW you have Penn State in the mix (because I do NOT see Joe Paterno staying unless PSU wants some seriously outraged people).

Yeah he’s crazy. Legitimately nuts. But he’s also a winner, and could maybe explode our score board with Nick, Tobias, Dante, Vincent with a chimpanzee kicking the ball to them. After watching that 9-6 Offensive Durp-Fest last Sat, I like the pirate-genius’s chances outscoring either of ’em.

Hell, if any SEC school played the schedules that the BigXII teams play, just think of the crazy offensive numbers they would put up.

If LSU or Alabama were to take a crack at those punks, they’d score 35+ and make them cry. The reason SEC teams win championships is because they face the most ridiculous defenses in the country, and after that, everything’s a cake walk. Alternatively, Pac-12/Big 12 play zip defense, have final scores that look like a basketball game, and when they finally see someone who can actually throw some defense at them, they drown. You can practice all you want, but you can’t simulate what Alabama and LSU were doing to each other Saturday. It made me feel physical pain, how hard they hit one another. Yowza.

Please don't do that. You want to completely discount a proven HC because he lost to HDN once.
Nutt had more and better talent on that team and not only that, we probably could have beaten all but 4 or 5 of the best teams in the entire country at the end of 08-09. Does that automatically exclude the other 20 coaches in the top 25 at the end of that season? No, it doesn’t. And it shouldn’t disqualify Leach.
Now, if we played Leach every season, and beat him every time, no matter how shitty our team was, then fine, I’m with you. But disqualifying a coach because he lost one game to our current bad coach who had superior talent on the field that day, ain’t cool.

Also, the point has been made that Leach’s team was in a perfect position to get upset. Their high hopes of playing for the National Championship got crushed by Oklahoma, and they were way too overconfident. On the flip side, Nutt’s team was as hot as any in the country, and we were coming off of back to back games in which we curb-stomped our two biggest rivals.

My 2 cents..
The fan base is definitely divided Boone and Nutt had to go. I think the last two years of athletic frustration were mainly to blame. Ole Miss does not have a budget like lsu, bama, or even Arkansas, so the " if we would just spend the money" argument doesn’t hold much weight with me. We have a finite budget, and equal amounts of money must be spent on the women’s programs per title 9. You can’t keep going to our wealthiest alumni and say, " hey I need another million."
That being said, donations are about to increase due to Boone’s departure. We need 2 good hires, and give the new guy at least 4-5 years with
the goal get back to winning games we should and going to bowls. Col. Reb is not coming back. But, the opportunity to have good sports programs is.

My take
Long time coming, that’s how I see this. I hate it, I really do – I like Houston and I always have, but he just seems to have lost his edge somewhere along the way. I feel like the beginning of the end was September 24th, 2009 – the loss against South Carolina. Didn’t it just feel like the air went out of the season that night? The magic of that first season was gone and we never got it back. Sure, there were high points along the way, but it to borrow from E. Hemingway, it really felt like The End of Something.
I’ve thought long and hard about Houston, and living where I do (NW Arkansas) I’ve had plenty of people tell me just what the problem is with “Hyooostin”, but I truly feel like he is a kind and decent man who just stayed at Arkansas too long. The boosters and ‘fans’ there just did a number on him in those last years and all of that negative pub. broke his swagger. He really loved Arkansas and I think that smear campaign hurt him in a way he has never recovered from. He’s a good coach – not a great coach – but he really cares about the boys that play for him and tries to help them learn to be better people. No, he doesn’t fit the mold of the stoic, personality-devoid “winners” liketNick Saban or Bobby Petrino, but that’s okay with me. I’d rather play for a character guy than a winning-obsessed jerk like the ones previously mentioned. Winning is important, but it’s not the only thing that matters. I tip my hat Coach Nutt for leaving a positive imprint int he lives of the guys who played for him (See Dexter McCluster).
My thoughts on where we should go from here: Let Brewer take over as interim, move Boone out immediately and let Michael Thompson serve as interim AD. Let some new blood (albeit with Ole Miss ties) give it their best shot before we get in a rush to make another poor hire. Let’s get this right – the right hire makes all the difference.
You...
are an idiot. So you’d rather play for a man who always deflects blame on someone else for his own failures? You wouldn’t want to be associated with a so-called “devoid” man who demands the very best from his players?
I hate the fact that you’re located in NW Arkansas.
"How did you feel...being denied these hungry, hungry hippos?"
We hate that he's there too.
That area of the country is typically reserved for genetic rejects.
"There's no better way to say 'I'm a badass' than the thumbs up. It's so hot right now."
my quick thought on Gus
One thing that may be good for Ole Miss to hire Gus away from Auburn, is that deep down Gus wants to prove that Nutt was wrong for treating him the was he was treated at Arkansas. I think Gus would work even harder at Ole Miss to prove that he can win where Nutt failed. It is a pride thing with him.
Other than that, I see nothing else that would indicate he would be a great hire.

Paul Chryst – O Coord @ Wisconsin

Well Pete Boone, I guess you do have the last laugh...
“When Coach Nutt arrived four years ago, I said publicly he would be the last coach I would hire. I meant it,” said Boone. “On several occasions over the past year, Chancellor Jones and I have discussed what would happen if a disappointing football season resulted in a coaching change, including whether a change would affect my timetable as athletics director. When I decided we need new leadership in the football program, I knew it was also the right time for new leadership in the athletics department.”
…since we all know the world is going to end in December 2012.
But srsly, why the fuck does it take 13 months for Boone to leave. He could have just as easily said “When I decided we need new leadership in the football program I knew that our athletic department would need new leadership in a year and a month.”

just my $.02
It has a lot to do with the “Forward Together” campaign, which admittedly has been going well. Boone staying for a while, then leaving can be seen as a nod to both the “get him the hell out of here” camp and the crowd that obviously still likes him and donates money (or at least donates money in spite of him). In other words, you get both consistency and change.

It's nice to see that the people of this board
love to shit on the Colonel. If anyone disagrees with you here, you cry to the mods and ask that they be banned. Then the very next week, you say fuck the Colonel and Ole Miss’ traditions thereby stirring up the shit all over again on your own again. You instigate the Colonel mess every chance you get, yet god forbid the soul that responds against it.
So, what we’ve learned about these boards is that if you agree with the mods about “Fuck Ole Miss’ traditions” then you’ll get a big round of applause. If you dissent, then you get a nasty letter from the mods about how everyone is pissed about your contrarian views.
You people must have gone to a different college than I.

Fascism opposes class-based identity and society, it is thus both anti-bourgeois and anti-proletarian; and individualist based identity and society.12 It is opposed to many ideologies, including conservatism, liberalism, and two major forms of socialism: communism and social democracy.13 It opposes a variety of economic, political and social systems, it is opposed to majoritarian democracy, parliamentary systems, is anti-clerical, and holds a distinctive opposition to capitalism.14. It rejects egalitarianism, materialism, and rationalism in favour of action, discipline, hierarchy, spirit and will.15
In economics, fascists oppose economic liberalism (as a bourgeois movement) and Marxism (as a proletarian movement) for being class-based movements.16 Fascists present their ideology as that of an economically trans-class movement that advocates resolving economic class conflict to secure national solidarity.17 Fascists advocate: a state-directed, regulated economy that is dedicated to the nation; the use and primacy of regulated private property and private enterprise contingent upon service to the nation or state; the use of state enterprise where private enterprise is failing or is inefficient; and autarky.3 They are hostile to finance capitalism, plutocracy, the “power of money”, and internationalist economics.3

The Nazis were fascists
the issue issue is that people don’t understand the difference in Communism and Socialism.
Nazism promoted an economic system that supported a stratified economy with classes based on merit and talent while rejecting egalitarianism, retaining private property, freedom of contract, and promoted the creation of national solidarity that would transcend class distinction.14[15}

Both Communism and Nazism/Fascism
took the utopian ends as justifying any means, above all a towering supremacy of the collectivist state over the individual. One was totalitarian international socialism. The other was totalitarian national socialism. Both murdered millions of people. Both were essentially and intrinsically destructive and violent.
And the fascist Nazis
even called themselves the “National Socialists.”

I maintain
Kevin Sumlin. He’s taken a tradtionally crap program and made them Top 10 material. Granted, it’s a C-USA school, so he’s not exactly playing genius competition, but being able to build a good team in Texas, when there are so many better programs around you, is a pretty great feat. He’s got the Mike Leach-style offense, without the Mike Leach-style crazies. I also don’t think he’d be looking to better deal us eventually/in the near future, like Kirby Smart or Gus Malzhan undoubtedly would.
If someone has intel I do not which should lead me from supporting this notion, please share in a respectful and loving way which will annoy no one and result in Care Bears and cuddles.

he only had one year and that was because the star of the offense (Case Keenum) tore his ACL. Plus, with Keenum, clearly Sumlin knows how to keep a quarterback at his school as long as he needs him.

To be fair, Art Briles is the guy you really want
Art Briles deserves credit for resurrecting Houston from 15 years (and only 15) in the crapper. Briles was at Texas Tech with Leach and brought much of that offense with him, but much of it is/was his. It continued at Houston via Holgorsen and Kliff Kingsbury. Sumlin inherited it at OU where Leach was the OC. Briles is an excellent judge of quarterback prospects; he recruited Kevin Kolb, Keenum and RG,III, to Houston.
And has given some vitality to moribund Baylor.

Thoughts on thoughts
1) I wonder if Archie decided to chair the search committee to end the discussion about him being the AD?
2) I’m very interested to see how Ole Miss-Arkansas relations continue from here on out. They’ve added another in-conference rival in A&M, and no longer have a real reason to hate Ole Miss. Maybe some crazy will be diverted now.
3) Is Jim Tressel at all an option? I heard it from the least reliable source I can think of that he had contacted the administration at some point. He’s got to be tired of watching the Colts lose by now.

Good news for Ole Miss
Rich Rodriguez is interested in the job.
Rodriguez, when contacted Monday afternoon, said he would be interested in Ole Miss if there was a mutual interest. He said that when he spent two seasons in New Orleans in the late 1990s when he was Tulane’s offensive coordinator, he became friends with Archie Manning, one of the co-chairmen of the Rebels’ search committee for a new coach.
“Ole Miss seems to me like it’s always been a special place,” Rodriguez said. “I don’t know what Ole Miss’ issues are right now, but I hear a lot of great things about the university and the area. I’d certainly be interested in talking to Ole Miss.”
I'll take him.

Thanks for the link.
I couldn’t agree more. We need someone with a gimmick who is not doing the same old thing that they are doing at LSU or Alabama. Leach has been publicly smeared by the the ESPN and James. Anyone who reads into that situation will come away from it thinking that Craig James is a gigantic tool – if you didn’t already think that.
Ran a quick poll of my Ole Miss friends via text out of curiosity
The consensus on Rich Rod (myself included) seems to be that Michigan was a fucked up situation to begin with and it was never the right fit. We could do a LOT worse. Big thing (and this goes for anyone we hire) is he has to bring in a strong Def Coordiantor.
Seeing Mackey (and then Brunetti) run a true spread-option would be worth it alone.
With our talent at receiver, and with the speed of Jeff Scott, our offense would be a really nice fit for RichRod’s style.
