Nutt soon faces the music

Looks like Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt will become the first coach to earn money from the Auburn Coaching Search 2008.

He met with athletic director Pete Boone and university president Robert Khayat earlier this morning. They have discussed financial matters.

Nutt makes approximately $1.7 million right now. He's now in line for a significant raise.

Nutt is expected to meet with reporters in Oxford after the Rebels' practice today. The team, which finished the regular season 8-4, is preparing for a bowl game.

Tar Heel Tiger said...: Monica,
You're welcome. I saw that next to Hadrian's wall and was so impressed I had to take a photo. The rest of the family thinks I'm weird. I think they're right.

BTW, did you ever consider a navy blue or orange sweater, or any other color..... please?; 8:05 PM
Monica said...: TarHeel - I meant the visual of you passing a brick. I think I agree with you and your family. I'm sure it's part of your charm.

What do you have against fuchsia?; 8:08 PM
FSJ said...: Herbie said on FInebaum last night that the SEC Championship game is the National Championship game. He said whoever wins would win it all.; 8:09 PM
McLovin said...: Troy Palamalu from Pittsburg; 8:10 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Monica-
fuchsia? I love it, now that I know it's not red. I couldn't tell, or perhaps I'm a bit color blind.

oops, I took "visual" as literal, rather than figurative. That photo was the closest thing I could find to a "passed brick"; 8:14 PM
Quitstina said...: Kirk Herbstreit, folks. He sure went out on a limb on that one...; 8:15 PM
FSJ said...: Ignore.; 8:26 PM
Monica said...: Faker - Yeah, I could see Florida as the NC. No biggie.

Tarheel - I do have several red things. It's a good color. However, I have ZERO crimson things. :-); 8:26 PM
Unknown said...: I simply love the dreadlock tackle. The guy ain't too bright to have those and be running the ball. Defensive players, offensive linemen, yea, it probably doesn't hurt, but man, that is just plain dumb.; 8:27 PM
FSJ said...: Ignore.; 8:27 PM
FSJ said...: SFC...

I love the dreadlock tackle as well..; 8:28 PM
Quitstina said...: Faker, you know by actually typing "ignore", you are, in fact, acknowledging us.; 8:30 PM
Monica said...: "Ignore" is Faker for "I'm jealous."; 8:33 PM
Quitstina said...: Thank you, Monica. I must have misplaced my bammer to english dictionary.; 8:34 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Monica.. don't tell on me but I'm wearing red Utah Utes sweatpants right now. Auburn t-shirt of course. And Wyoming Cowboys sweat shirt.

All... how could we not want Turner Gill for our coach?

Monica said...: No problem, girl. You know I gottcha back.; 8:35 PM
Quitstina said...: TarHeel, e-mail me. I know the name of a good stylist...just kidding!!; 8:35 PM
FSJ said...: TarHeel,

Cowboys ROCK; 8:36 PM
FSJ said...: Or so I've been told.; 8:37 PM
Monica said...: and you're named Tarheel! My goodness. How did you end up with such a collection???

I DO love the avatar you have up now. Very cute.; 8:37 PM
Anonymous said...: FSJ - I head the DC for Alabama's name today as a possibility. Thoughts on that?; 8:37 PM
Anonymous said...: head = heard and i guess I am talking about Kevin Steele; 8:39 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Monica-
hobby of collecting college t-shirts when I was young and traveling with family. Revived when I entered 2nd childhood a few years ago. No other ACC but UNC, no other SEC but Auburn.

The current photo, my daughter caught me holding the umbrella so our weenie dog wouldn't get wet. We adore our Molly dog.

p.s. does anyone remember who they wanted AU to hire after tatertot quit?; 8:42 PM
Unknown said...: There appears to be some kind of weird threesome thang going on in here tonight.

I was thinking that Jimbo to Auburn might make sense if Daddy Bowden would like to give Tommy a job as FSU. I don't want to get into any possibilities with that other Bowden.

I wouldn't mind Paul Johnson getting a shot with his double wing triple option game. It could be interesting. I saw a highschool running that about 4 years ago. It looked pretty effective.

How about Fulmer, the most hated coach by Bama fans. That would be interesting.

Spurrier has been brought up by some and I do find this idea intriguing, although I would prefer a coach that was younger, possibly in his 40s.; 8:42 PM
FSJ said...: Steele as a possibility for what?

He's a UT alum. I wouldn't be shocked to see them take a run at him if Kiffin's Dad doesn't get out of his contract at Tampa Bay.; 8:45 PM
FSJ said...: SFC,

A more likely scenario is that I am a Bama fan, and some folks like to throw barbs my way for whatever reason. The majority of the Hotties have been welcoming to me. Sadly, some choose to throw stones. :-(; 8:47 PM
Anonymous said...: FSJ - I heard it mentioned on the radio depending on how the D handles FL that he could be a candidate for AU.

Just sayin what I heard on the radio.; 8:47 PM
Unknown said...: I say we make a run for Fulmer as long as he agrees to install a wide open passing attack. We could come up with some snappy new name for it, like Air Bubba or something.; 8:47 PM
FSJ said...: Steele was the HC at Baylor a few years ago.

That was a disaster. I don't seem him being a candidate for Auburn. However, he is a heckuva recruiter.; 8:48 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: TD Buffalo!; 8:51 PM
Anonymous said...: TD Buffalo; 8:51 PM
Quitstina said...: Awwww Faker, did we hurt your feewings? I'm sorry. You know you're our favorite bammer ;-); 8:51 PM
FSJ said...: Well to my knowledge I am the only regular Bama fan here...so the pickings are slim.; 8:54 PM
tigerfan44 said...: Didn't hear it myself but CPD said butch davis was not man enough to coach at Auburn.; 8:54 PM
Chris in Inverness said...: Jimbo Fisher's buyout is 5 Million per C. Goldberg - B'ham News

http://www.al.com/auburnfootball/; 8:55 PM
Unknown said...: FSJ, you are correct. You are our token Bama fan. We should just call you token for short:); 8:56 PM
Quitstina said...: Token for short, yes pickens are slim arent they?; 8:57 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Chris
Someone earlier posted link to Jimbo's contract. It says 2.5 million buyout; 8:58 PM
FSJ said...: Jay also said it was 2.5 million earlier.; 8:59 PM
Chris in Inverness said...: TH -- Link me up.

Make sure it was after last year's WVu hire.; 8:59 PM
Unknown said...: Wow, the judge sentencing OJ said the evidence in the case was overwhelming. Said she didn't know if he were arogant, ignorant, or both. Bye bye OJ.; 9:01 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Jimbo amendment December 2007

FSJ said...: Tarheel Tiger....

That is good stuff there. So nice to have someone on the board that is adept at research.; 9:03 PM
Monica said...: Faker - Things are bad when you've decided to play the victim! My, my, my.; 9:03 PM
Quitstina said...: ahem; 9:04 PM
Monica said...: Tarheel - I think you should model your entire NCAA collection. Molly dog is very cute, btw.; 9:04 PM
Chris in Inverness said...: Hell, I googled it and couldn't find anything on anything other than 2.5.

So why is Charles Goldberg saying 5 million at www.al.com?; 9:05 PM
Kris said...: Steve from Columbia used "shaft" and "Rod" in the same sentence....; 9:05 PM
Chris in Inverness said...: I need a newspaper job I guess....or Heel does.

Goldberg is the beat writer for the state's largest newspaper.; 9:07 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Monica,
model my shirts, no way.
The Beaver College shirt is one of my favs

crap, UB fumbles; 9:07 PM
Chris in Inverness said...: Keep it under 53; 9:09 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I can't read or rite, so Chris will have to be the reporter.
I didn't do the research, just copied someone else's post.
No original thoughts from this feeble brain; 9:09 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: AWESOME UB TD!!!!!!!; 9:13 PM
Chris in Inverness said...: I can't link it -- but check out this

Denny Crum said...: is it just me or does the HABOTN seem a little different in terms of font and size tonight.; 9:24 PM
Just Win AU said...: At least one sport at Auburn is having a good year. AU womens basketball team won again and scored 119.; 9:26 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I'm on the ground in ATL.

What did I miss?; 9:26 PM
FSJ said...: Looks fine to me Denny.; 9:26 PM
Monica said...: Looks the same to me, Denny.; 9:27 PM
FSJ said...: Not a thing.; 9:27 PM
FSJ said...: What's the gut feeling among the Bama beat writers about tomorrow?; 9:28 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I was late leaving the Gump -- I haven't hung out with my wife since last Friday -- and, as such, I didn't rendezvous with the Alabama hacks.

Sad.; 9:30 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: UB defense scores 2 TD's to go up 28-17 but also has resulted in defense being on the field entire 3rd qtr. They'll be gassed and get swamped in 4th qtr; 9:31 PM
FSJ said...: Understand entirely. Wife before hacks...

No doubt about it.; 9:31 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Lemme bang out a quick story for the paper, then I'll get moving here.

Unless T.G. (our Alabama ace) offers me free beer, I'll be sitting right here Until The Laptop Lid Closes.; 9:32 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Wife b4 hacks, heck, wife b4 ANYONE; 9:32 PM
FSJ said...: TarHeelTiger....

Apparently you haven't met Mrs. FSJ.; 9:35 PM
barkley for governor said...: Jay, it sort of feels like you are cheating on us when you cover Alabama. I guess you gotta do what you gotta do to get paid.

It's kind of like having a stripper for a wife.; 9:35 PM
Chris in Inverness said...: ummmm ---- wife B4 free REEB???

THIS AIN'YT LUCKY LAGER!; 9:35 PM
FSJ said...: barkley,

FSJ said...: Know a guy..

In an Atlanta Bar.

Then found out....; 9:55 PM
McLovin said...: I am a Turner Gill Fan now. His emotion at the end was just awesome.; 10:22 PM
Unknown said...: Looks like Florida is about a 10 point favorite. That surprises me a bit.; 10:37 PM
Jeremy Eubanks said...: not a more disgusting sight that 45,000 Bammers hanging out with 35,000 Gaytos. Ugh!; 9:44 AM
