All I got out of that was "Welcome to the toilet bowl. Hope you brought some Pinesol. We're not sure you can do much, but if you can clean this crap up, we might appreciate it eventually."
This entire mess was handled completely wrong, objectively speaking. It is, first off, stupid to do this:
Fire your coach in the middle of the season, then decide to keep him on for the remaining 25% of the season. They should have:
1. Fired him and shown him the door immediately
2. Waited to give an official announcement until after the season
That is just concerning the Nutt situation.. Then you have this:
Your AD says he may not renew his contract NEXT YEAR. So for a year, you have an AD that is not well liked or respected by 99% of the fanbase saying he's staying for another year. Then this AD decides to pass the buck off to Archie to find him a replacement head coach for a guy you fired a month prior, but allowed to coach his remaining games. And in those remaining games, he was outscored 110-13. A lame duck coach was a complete understatement, but now they have a lame duck AD that no one likes.
Looking at it through objective lenses, the Ole Miss faithful has ZERO trust in their administration. They handle big situations poorly and have a Chancellor that doesn't want to hurt feelings, so he does nothing. Show Boone's *** the door, get a new, young AD in there, THEN worry about a coaching search. Because I can say this... even though it was Doc (never really had much against him... except maybe the flowers and paint), he showed Templeton's *** the door and brought fresh faces in before worrying about a head football coach. All the sudden, we had stability at the TOP and enormous trust in our administration, then when Mullen came on board, the foundation was already laid.
I'm not saying all that to take a personal shot at Ole Miss and say "we handled it better," even though we did, I just can completely understand the frustrations they are feeling up in Oxford. Regardless of my hatred for the red and blue, you can't help but wonder why this sort of thing has to continue the way it does.
