Houston Nutt's agent still at it. ...

[Shmuley]

Reverend Nutts is linked to Boston College job.

"Dear [insert name of athletic director],
Allow me to introduce you to my client, Reverend Houston Nutt, a man who needs no introduction. ... "

He's like a 19th

century snake oil salesman. The fine folks of the southeast are on to his charade, so he'll move along to another geography to perpetrate his fraud.

If he gets a job, and puts everything into it, he will win.....

....not sure why anyone would think differently.

 

[Shmuley]

He's good for 2-3 decent to good years before the eventual implosion. Dude has zero sustaining power. It's like he completely loses interest.

 

[Railin Jemmye]

At Ole Miss, he was constantly looking to jump ship. I think he knew the talent they had there when he took the job, and wanted to parlay that into Auburn or a bigger gig. Finebaum reported this, and while he's not the best game analyst, he knows the coaching drama. But there again, Nutt had a history at Arkansas of valleys and peaks, but the peaks were longer. So like I say, if he goes in with the correct mindset, at a school where he can get talent, he could be very successful.

Zero sustaining power? He had 10 good seasons at Arkansas and won 18 games in his last 2 years there. He's not a great coach, but he's pretty good.

 

[Shmuley]

I guess I was speaking about consistency. His success was more in the Sherrill mold. Very erratic and not sustained consistently.

 

[patdog]

When has anyone ever won consistently at one of the 6 (now 7 or 8) lower division schools in the SEC? Spurrier and maybe Cutcliffe. That's about it.

 

[Shmuley]

Perhaps James Franklin. I see your point, but I have a hard time putting Arky in that lower tier.

 

[patdog]

Franklin hasn't been there long enough to do anything consistently. He won't win consistently at Vandy, that's for sure. This is the first time he's ever won more than 6 regular season games there.
