Houston Nutt to Auburn? (Update Jimmy Sexton is Amazing) !!!

I can't imagine how many heads would explode over at Ole Myth if that Happened. I think it is very very very unlikely. Nutt would become the new SABAN or $$$$$ and not in a good way. Maybe Tuberville can go back to Ole Miss!!!

Auburn is considering Houston Nutt, but not Leach

Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt met with his athletics director and the university chancellor Friday morning. That meeting occurred with the backdrop of Auburn taking a look at Nutt to replace Tommy Tuberville. One coach who is not being considered is Texas Tech's Mike Leach.
The News reported Friday morning Auburn was interested in Nutt and Florida State offensive coordinator Jimbo Fisher, and possibly a few others. Nutt met with Athletics Director Pete Boone and university chancellor Robert Khayat.

Two names that have been talked about, especially nationally, can be stricken from the list. Leach, who insiders say expressed an interest in Auburn, is not being considered. Texas defensive coordinator and former Auburn assistant Will Muschamp is content in Austin.

Please note Louisiana Tech fans that Dooleys name is not on the list or at least named. There were rumors as to that but I never took them in a serious matter.

I am relived Leach is not on the LIST. I think he would be a major threat and I wonder why there is not nore serious consideration given to him by the Aubbies

UPDATE- THIS LOOKS MORE SERIOUS- WOW
If it happens, all parties should be ashamed of themselves... They won't be though. I have to think that Ole Miss fans will be so infuriated (Lets recall Tubby was 'stolen" from Ole Miss) if this happens in Nutt's first year that will get into their cars and go burn Auburn down

Update II- Wow that was fast Nutt and his famous agent SEXTON play AD like a fiddle and Nutt gets a nice raise after being there just one year.
