real options were. I know he`s said several schools expressed interest butdoes that mean they simply returned his phone call or what ? For the record I don`t think he had very many.
I would love to know exactly what Masoli`s
- Thread starter thatsbaseball
- Start date
But I don't think it's fair to demonize Nutt for taking him. If other coaches were in the same bind at QB, Masoli would have had other offers. Like dawgstudent posted yesterday, if Relf had quit at the last minute like Cotton did, we'd have probably taken him.
That's the point.
If it makes you feel better, let's say Tyler Russell quit the team a few weeks ago, leaving you with Dylan Favre and Chris Relf as your only QB options coming out of the spring. There is a decent chance you would've made a push for Masoli knowing you were one injury from throwing Favre into the fire with no experience.

even though you have no proof whatsoever.
All I know is, we didn't pursue him and you did. That's what happened. Now get to spinning. Says alot more about your QB situation that Cot-ton wanted out so bad even after Nutt begged him. Or maybe it says more about your obviously inflated recruiting. Or maybe your coach is just a QB killer after all.
See? I can do it too.

What you`re implying that is everyone who runslow of money automatically robs a freaking bank. It don`t work that way.

So, taking Masoli to aid your QB situation = robbing a bank to aid your financial situation?
If that's the case, and the real world = the SEC, then yes, everyone that runs low on money would rob a bank. If you use your analogy but make the real world more like the SEC, you have to add that you have a mob boss who is going to have you killed if you don't pay him what you owe him (wins) within a certain time period. Add that to the situation and take away all other outlets for getting money to save your head, and there are a lot of people (coaches) that would consider robbing a bank. That's more like an SEC coaching situation, because if you lose, you lose your job.
Most of the rational posters on this board are willing to admit that if your QB situation were similar, you'd have taken him. We weren't going to take him. Then Cotton quit and left us in a bind. We took him. It's that simple.
Any coach that values his job, is willing to take a few risks if they are necessary. If you enjoy playing morally superior because your Ole Miss buddies have gigged you in the past, that's fine. They'll be gigging you again in the near future when something similar happens to you. That's why I quit playing that game with my buddies, well, along with the fact that I gave up on the idea of the student athlete about 5 or 6 years ago. College sports is what it is. No one has a morally superior ground to stand on.
And that stuff is pretty big, otherwise every school in the country would have been after him. But given the situation Nutt was in, he did what he felt like he had to do. And I can't say that if I were in his shoes I wouldn't have done the same thing. I think the fact he was able to force him to walk on gives a pretty good indication of what Masoli's other options were.
Nutt taking Mosoli may not be in the best intrest for UM but is for Nutt. Nutt will do what it takes to save his butt. The most important question now is that the driving charges and bud charges violate his probation for the alleged laptop charges? If Mosoli 17ups are the faithful going to boo, throw laptops, or zig-zags papers at him? God SEC football is fun!
