ROCK CHALK GIGGITY HAWK

He just came over from Arkansas. Is this guy out of his fucking mind…oh, nevermind.

Botarkus?

Forget it, he’s rolling.

Glad to see I wasn’t the only person ignoring MNF last night to watch some A&E.

I’d rather this douche come to KU than Turner Gill, that would be Husker blasphemy!!!

As a Hog fan, this is awfully familiar territory.

HDN takes over team recruited by a cro magnon coach with trailer full of Camaros and cash ready at a moment’s notice.

HDN succeeds beyond expectations in first year. Then play-callin’, no habla the QB position, Giggity, and why are those shiny numbers counting toward zero? take over and voila! HDN is flirting with a Big 8 school.

I’ll take the beady eyed, offensive genius with no soul, and hold thank you.

Thanks for the funny Orson. It’s much funnier happening to someone else.

I can’t imagine wanting to leave a school where the two of the biggest stories of the year on campus revolve around your students racist addition to a song and the resulting Klan rally when people try and put a stop to it.

BTW, in the half-time interview of the LSU-Ole Miss game Nutt used a mesmerizin’ hand gesture that frightened me with its familiar power.

At that point there was no doubt the Rebs would win.

I just want him to leave Ole Miss more than anything. Their fanbase doesn’t deserve a good coach with how far up their asses, their heads are stuck.

I’m with the drunkard that rambles. That ‘south will rise again’ bullshit wasn’t pretty. When Shepherd Smith is the voice of reason, LOOK THE FUCK OUT. And Dan Mullen handed the Nutt a serious ass quacking with a very young, physically inferior team. Wait until Mullen gets some ponies to run that offense.

When I first read this, I was like, “No Way, Kansas just isn’t attractive enough to lure the Nutt away from the best conference in all of football (including the AFC and NFC).” But now that I think about it, Nutt better jump on something while the iron is still hot. Ole Miss is a tire fire.

I know Kansas went to the Orange Bowl two years ago but before that I was under the impression that it wasn’t exactly a fantastic school to be coaching football? Would this be a lateral move (considering Ole Miss last one a national championship in, oh, the 1960’s or so?) or a move down?

If he does go to KU, does this tell you more about Nutt’s relationship with Ole Miss or his expectations of winning consistently in the SEC West? The rebuilt Crimson Death Star is obviously fully operational…

Crazy crazy is better than plain old mean crazy, I guess.

Good trade.

Isn’t Jimmy Sexton HDN’s agent? If so, that’s all you need to know about this story. Ole Miss better find the checkbook.

If Houston Nutt’s particular form of mizmaddenin’ metastasizes to the Big XII, the consequences will make BIZARRO YEAR S007 seem like a slight aberration from the norm.

Bobby Petrino demands to know why he hasn’t been offered an interview yet.

I think Nutt is a bigger slut than Tiger.

Kevin@LSU, admit it: you just want your team’s coach to be the only crazy in the SEC.

aaaaand the Nutterfly Effect is in full swing! fire up the coaching carousel!

::da-da-dada-da-da-dada-duh-da::

An LSU dream team would be:

Miles, Nutt, DaCoachO, and Muschamp running the D.

BOOM-GIGGITY-YAWYAW-SPIKE!!!!!!!!!

Shit. The Nutt just issued an official press release. Kansas is a no go.

Kansas is not an attractive gig. During their Orange Bowl season, they didn’t have to play Texas or Oklahoma. They didn’t even win the Big 12 North (they lost the John Brown Bowl to Mizzou).

I just wanted to see HDN jet Ole Miss because (a) that fight song/klan rally shit is combustible and (b) nothing gets me through December like the coaching carousel.

Two things to keep in mind about the KU job, which many people seem think is unattractive:

1) The athletic department is one of the most profitable in the country (er, sorry, revenue-after-expenses-able); KU can afford to pay a coach top-10 money and have enough left over to play with the big boys in assistants’ salaries and recruiting budget, too.
2) They’ve got good facilities. Not top-10 good, but much better than an outside observer would assume.

How far those two things go to mitigate the fact that you’re at some major geographic (and demographic) disadvantages with regards to recruiting, I have no idea. But the job isn’t K-State-bad or Iowa State-bad by any means. Certainly not much different than your Wisconsins or Ole Misses of the world, or any other fringe-25 BCS football program.

With Jimmy Sexton, anything is possible.

safe to say dem folks at tha Rawk Chalk U done been SMESMERIZED.

(SMESMERIZED needs to be added to Oxford as the Word of the Year)

Orson, you’re starting to lose your touch with these Nutt posts. He doesn’t speak in that many complete sentences; just fragments.

“Gotta tell ya, honored to be asked by Kansas. Great school. Competitors. But we’re stayin’ put. Playing the Cotton Bowl. Excited. Players excited. Gotta finish. Gotta have heart. Competitors.”

This HDN saga is a ree-pete of the Nebraska incident 3 years ago when he stated interest there. From experience, I don’t trust the Clarion-Liar, as it’s an in-house party line organ of Oxford JC.

What else can HDN say? I’d like to know his buyout provision first. He is certifiably batshit crazy but he’s no Petrino.

@ Pete:

You forgot #3: hottest girls in the Big XII, according to noted hottie expert Larry Eustachey!!!

The infrastructure is in place for the right coach to come in and really take the program places, so it’s a more appealing job from a coach’s perspective than its historical reputation might suggest. Whether Uncle Lew can find the right guy to take advantage of the opportunity or not is still very much up in the air, however.

Let him go. OM can then offer Monty Kiffin the job!
