But if you really look at the contracts, there’s probably more “guaranteed money” in the Ole Miss contract. $1.9 mil for five versus $2.7 mil for two. If Ark wanted to run him off after next season, the extension they offered him would probably let them do that pretty cheap. The deal with Ole Miss probably guarantees him at least around $5 mil.

True - I didn't see the period of each offer.
You know what really surprises me about this. From what I have read and also heard from Ole Miss fans, one thing (among a few) that bothered the Rebel faithful about Coach O was his on-field demeanor. At times they thought CEO was simply too "rah-rah" and "cheerleaderesque."
And now Nutt is hired, who can be just as animated and "rah-rah."

To be honest with you, Jeff, I figured Nutt would end up in the Big 12 because of his past success against Texas.

Damn, Ole Miss made a good hire. Imagine that.
Looks like the Hog turned into a Rebel. Great hire for them plus alot of his recruits will prolly go with him since he stayed in the SEC
Ole miss will be a 7 win team next year, and as close as they have been playing us we are liable to be one of the victims. This is NOT good.

From all accounts, Mongo has been recruiting very well at Ole Miss. Nutt very well may have them contending for a west title before long

There is some talent there, and Nutt will get much more out of it than Orgeron did. He will also have QB Javon Snead to pull out of the garage next season (QB transfer from Texas). That is the kind of player you can build a pretty stout offense around. He is definitely walking into a pretty good situation.

Its a cherry situation...unless the NCAA starts sniffing. There was some heavy stuff going on in Oxford over the past few seasons.

Nutt to Ole Miss...that's what she said.
Who are the Head Coach prospects at Ark now?

Tubby and Leach is what I've heard
The thing is, Uark looks totally screwed to me now. They aren't going to get tuberville, and their best coach in 30 years just gave them the "we're #1" with his middle finger. Talent was already thin everywhere but), and those fellas are gone now.
For sure, tho, I DID NOT want to see him stay on our schedule. He's been too tough the last few years.

Hmmmm...Nutt's SEC record is barely over .500. I'm surprised. He always seemed to give Alabama and Auburn fits.

Nutt has coached in the Southeastern Conference Western Division long enough to know the challenge he faces. For all his success at Arkansas, and he had plenty, his league record was 42-40, two games above .500. (David Cutcliffe's SEC record at Ole Miss was 25-23, two games above .500.)
Notice what Ray Perkins says as well. I tend to think Ole Miss will be better, but "SEC West title" better? That might be a bit much. He may keep the Mississippi boys at home though. We've gotten a few good MS ones lately, but Saban is a much broader recruiter than Shula ever was (and I'm not talking hip size either :wink

OK, now I'm totally confused. ;scr
I thought Nutt was forced out, yet this article states he was given a one-year extension. Was there not a pc Monday night announcing his departure from Arkansas?
