Embattled Arkansas coach Houston Nutt resigned Monday, giving up his job three days after directing the Razorbacks to a victory over top-ranked LSU. Defensive coordinator Reggie Herring will coach the team in its bowl.

I doubt this will ever happen, but if Georgia Tech were smart, they'd just rehire George O'Leary. He was much more successful at Tech than Gailey was and I'm sure he'd be happy to take the job as head coach at UCF's not exactly all that prestigious of a position.

In a similar vein, how about Mike Price to WSU?

[dkgojackets]

How much is left on O'Leary's contract at UCF? I thought he was locked in for a while, and buying out both Gailey and him may be too much.

Signing GOL would require a $5M buyout on top of Chan's $4M. That's $9M committed before he coaches a game.

Pelini as well as Gill are both candidates for the NE job.

This source says Nutt to Ole Miss is a done deal.

Houston Nutt reportedly out at Arkansas. I think they said he settled for 3.5 million. Why did he get fired?

The haters from up North.

Geez that was quick. What exactly was the problem with Nutt? Is a lot of this based on whatever it was that went on with Mustain? What exactly was that? Exec summary please.

Also, I am back on the "no way it's Ferentz" bandwagon, as much from his perspective (his son will start at Iowa in the fall, according to facebook his daughter is a grad student there, seems to like it) as from ours. I can rationalize his hire if necessary (two of his three bad years occurred when they were just crushed by injuries), so if he hires good coordinators he might be a very good coach...but I'd still rather not have that happen as I think there are better candidates out there.

Also, with Nutt at Ole Miss there are now 4 SEC coaches who previously coached at other SEC schools (Saban, Spurrier, Nutt, Tubberville). Dunno what significance that has it but it's pretty crazy.
