Houston Nutt out at Ole Miss

[CajunNation]

It would be easier and quicker if Hud stays, but make no mistake people, we are on a Boise-type trajectory. The foundations have been laid. The mechanisms are in place.

This rocket has been launched.

I truly believe that, like Boise, our future is not determined anymore by who our coach is or what conference we are in.

Because of things like the RCAF and a new president, we will continue to win and build facilities.

Coach Hud will either go down in history as a program builder like Frank Beamer at Va. Tech., or as one of a number of coaches who continued to improve upon what was left to him, like Boise's situation.

I just worry about our athletic budget in our pursuit to build a long lasting winner. The RCAF is going to have make A LOT of money.

Beautiful Son......It made me laugh. I knew there was a joke there somewhere.

Nice list. Hearing Malzahn (former walk-on receiver at Arkansas) is an early front-runner given the results at Tulsa, Arkansas and Auburn as offensive coordinator, although his lack of head coaching experience at the college level could be a concern to some.

Leach would be an interesting fit with his wide-open offense, bigger-than-life personality and coaching experience in the SEC (Kentucky, where he helped turn Tim Couch into the top pick in the 1999 NFL draft), but the school would likely ask him to drop lawsuit against ESPN.

Holtz worked under his dad at South Carolina and has won at East Carolina and South Florida.

Fedora was an offensive coordinator at Florida, has won consistently at Southern Miss with an exciting-to-watch offense and has strong ties in the state. Southern Miss just cracked into the top 25, too.

I wouldn't count out Freeze or Hudspeth being in the mix. Really depends on how much Ole Miss wants to spend and how confident some of the candidates feel about the school's leadership.

Thanks Josh! I really appreciate that coming from you. I'm surprised Fedora wouldn't be higher being he has done it longer than Hud. Make no mistake Freeze and Hud are doing great jobs but only 1 year so far. Any mention of Rich Rod?

Fedora will likely end up at Arizona...but Ole Miss opening up could change things.

Touhey ----- the dad in the Blind side movie could push for Freeze---I assume that everybody knows that he coached Michael Ohorr at the High school!!! Sorry about the spelling !!!
