Word has broken out that Houston Nutt is a possible candidate for the Auburn head coaching job. Whether this is a "real" story or just another case of Jimmy Sexton playing the media, I'm not sure, but I am completely sure of this:
Hiring Houston Nutt would be the biggest mistake in the history of Auburn University football. Bigger than Doug Barfield. Bigger than Eric Ramsey.
Houston Nutt is an undisciplined clown who recruits and makes excuses for undisciplined players. He coaches dirty football, and he was thrown out of his own alma mater for being a pardon-the-pun nutcase. He has no business being within several hundred miles of Auburn University, and that includes when he's working for another team that's playing AU. The idiot should have to coach by cell phone on those days.
I didn't think I would ever say anything like this, but I will have nothing to do with any football program that would hire Houston Nutt. Nothing whatsoever.
Anybody who is even thinking about this kind of hire should be given his walking papers just on general principles.
UPDATE: While I'm told there actually was somebody at Auburn dumb enough to express 'serious interest' in Nutt, this one appears to be yet another case of Sexton, the SEC's evil genius, playing outclassed AD's and university presidents like his own personal church organ--again. Nutt has agreed to a raise and will stay at Ole Miss.
Amen. That is exactly how I feel about the situation. Did the people making these crazy decisions actually attend Auburn? I always thought Auburn grads were fairly smart.
ReplyDeleteNot to worry, Nutt is staying at Ole Miss, he got an extension and a raise. Thank God!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see that you now admit that Auburn 'hired' Eric Ramsey - as in paid him for work.
