Rolling along on a Friday
Hey everyone. I see that you're all very excited about the possibility of Houston Nutt being Auburn's next head coach.
Is it possible? Yes.
I had a few knowledgeable people relay that name yesterday. The Advertiser forbids me from using unnamed sources, so that really limits what I can report about stuff like that. I'm working to get in touch with Nutt's People and get an official, on-the-record comment about his situation.
It's going to be a murky period here for a while. It's difficult to distill reliable information from fake stuff -- it often sounds the same -- and getting the legit stuff on the record adds a little more complexity.
We like complexity here at the HABOTN. It's all about love of the game ...

Nutt = Tommy Tuberville Redeux.
whoever is in charge at AU: Just say no to Nutt.
Jay really doesn't like threads over 400 does he?!
Sorry your gym time got Roundtabled*
*Sidetracked by constant other stuff
I thought the new AU coach could bring the fan base together easily, but if they hire Nutt, forget it. Count me on the firenutt.com bandwagon.
Sounds like Subterfuge at its finest. Like a fine brandy or single malt scotch. or better yet a nicely age single barrel bourbon with a nice fire and cigar
Hey Jay,
Do all of the big papers in the state forbid unnamed sources, or are you at a disadvantage to some of the others?
Nutt doesn't make sense to me, but that's what people I trust have said.
These people I'm talking about are not decision-makers. They're just connected and interested.
Nutt is a step down from Tub. It's almost the same record except he doesn't care to recruit criminals.
We are the only paper in the state ... and one of the only in the nation ... who go this route with sourcing.
I just hope the Nutt conversation is a ploy by Sexton. Mike Leach would be 10x better of a hire.
stupid rules
Glad to hear from you Jay....people were worried...including me. Not sure if that makes it a man crush or not...sure hope not.
That sucks Jay..
People need to keep that in mind when worrying about who gets something first.
Buncha jacklegs
Did everyone see where Ball State turned down a battle of the undefeated bowl game vs Boise State?
man if nutt comes to auburn count me out...that would be the dumbest thing i have ever heard of...what a joke.
This Nutt talks smells of Jimmy Sexton.
The problem here is that Auburn is not willing to go all in as Alabama did. The PTB will not relinquish control and that will be the death of us for awhile.
Denny,
Woodford Reserve is a nice bourbon.
I take back my negative comments on Leach if that means we are getting Nutt.
I pray to God this a Sexton ploy. If money is no object then Auburn should not settle for Nutt. If money is no object Auburn needs to target some really big names and go after them. Hiring Nutt would be taking a step backwards.
How are you supposed to win a Pulitzer Prize with all of these crazy rules standing in your way? I say the rules be damned and you use your best judgement.
I don't want Leach, but at least that might be interesting. Nutt, well we could just watch replays of Arky games on Saturday afternoons instead of actually fielding a team.
James:
Woodford rocks.
Nice distillery too. Took a tour a few years ago.
Beautiful part of the country.
that would just be embarrising...can u imagine the feild day the bammers woulld have if we hired nutt dumb a@@..saban would eat us alive for years and years and years...i cant believe he is even an option...i swear im a huge auburn fan but if he is the next coach...count me out!
Also, all of the people on here talking about losing recruits and people backing out...who is to say the new coach is going to want to go after those same players?
Denny, we'll get it handled.
I look at it as a challenge. There are some things I cannot get because of these rules, but I can still get my shots in. They're coming.
Anon, ask faker what a field day he would have if we hired Nutt. I will assume hunch punch will be involved
I gotta step away for a bit ... again.
Play nice until I get back.
Me too RK...Booo Nutt!Hooray....Leach!
houston nutt....are u fing kidding me! i will personally drive leach to auburn over nutt...and i dont really want leach...but he is 20x better than the wild gobbler
lol @ the hunch punch reference
Any truth to the Leach to AU talk i'm hearing on other forums?
what a joke
Before you go jay I am hearing all coaches staying on to help recruiting and transition. You hearing same.
RK the recruits we are losing are some of the top of our class. The new HC better want them are we hired the wrong guy already.
are the people in control really this challenged that they didnt have a coach lined up before we ran off tubs..if so fire them! houston nutt....this has got to be a sexton plot...i will burn my auburn gear if we hire that moron.
Woodford is a very very nice bourbon.
I suggest Eagle Rare. Very nuanced. Two varieties, the very aged and the aged. The aged is very good. The very aged at 80 dollars a bottle is too expensive to enjoy.
My whole point is there is no need to get upset about 18 year olds who may or may not back out who also may or may not have changed their minds anyway before signing day.
Off the subject, and directed at those who may work at home and can flip on CourtTV:
I'm scrolling through the channels and come across the sentencing of OJ Simpson. Nearly falling off the sofa laughing while trying to scarf down lunch.
His first lawyer rambled on about how Abe Lincoln let the confederates go home at the end of the war, as if the judge were the victor (rather than a neutral arbiter) in the matter.
His second lawyer spent a good five minutes counting the ways in which it had been an honor to argue in the judge's court.
OJ will be coming up next, as far as I can tell. Can't wait to see how far he swallows his foot since his counsel got busy eating their own feet off.
Good stuff.
This is crazy world we lived in. Last week this time, I think Tubs is back for sure and i'm all right with that. I also believe we have a chance to be close in the 4th quarter against bama. Saturday Night, I'm pissed about the results and not happy about the preparedness of the team. At this time, I think change is needed becasue we are obviously falling way behind and getting further away, but I still felt Tubs would be back. Wednesday- Tubs is gone and i'm sad to miss Tubs, but excited about the future. Fast forward to now- The thought of Houston Nutt makes me vomit in my mouth. My brother will be all over me, saying be careful what you wish for why he has always wanted Tubs back, never wavering.
I don't want my brother telling me I told you so.
I heard that Leach turned us down. This is going to be a crazy few days/weeks. I am also hearing that the assist coaches are saying that they were 'fired' as reported on wani1400 radio yesterday evening. It didnt sound like they were staying around to help with recruiting.
If y'all hire Nutt...
I'll have a perpetual smile...
pleaseeeeeeee...anyone but nutt, i would rather have the almighty jay g. tate coach or tigers than houston "the wild gobbler" nutt!
I do not think leach is a possibility. He is so 180 from everything AU has done. He is not a good "FIT" as JJ has said he wants. He removed his name because he was not getting the WU job, same as Patt Hill.
Nutt IMO is total BS. If we hire him I will develope a nutt alergy.
Tigerfan- I believe all assistant coaches except Hugh Nall are staying on to help with recruiting thru the transition. Hugh Nall already has a new job lined up, but not announced (Probably SC).
you guys watching oj sentencing? he's an awful person
Leach recruited Chris Todd in 2005 at Tech, will the two be reunited once again??? Guess we'll have to wait and see...
As far as the Nutt thing goes...
If they were gonna hire him, why not just keep Tubs and save 5.1 mill??? GEEZE!!
What's the sentence Harrison?
Houston Nutt jsut quoted as saying:
GIGGITY GIGGITY GIGGITY!!! WWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! BLOTUNK BARFARKUS WOONDANGITY GIGGITY HOOOO!!!”
Nutt is just a ploy and disinformation to get everyone talking about him while the real target is being tracked and secured.
There's a rumor that Leach showed up for an interview in flip flops...
LMAO.
houston nutt is an idiot
Im with you eddie, if nutt is hired no one else wanted the job. Nutt is on way down career slope not going up.
Denny,
I've never tried Eagle Rare.
I will have to investigate this tomorrow during the SECCG. I will need a pleasant distraction while amongst the bammer faithful tomorrow, so Eagle Rare will be it.
i sure hope so crum...if not auburn just lost a very loyal and rich alumni and fan....nutt would be a nightmare
he's talking to the judge right now. i'll relay the actual sentence when it happens. He is pretty much an idiot, oh and a murderer
Houston Nutt makes me long for Leach or Petrino.
Excuse me I feel nauseous...
I bet Jay is talking with Neal McCready and trying to get an assesment from him.
houston nutt, mmmmm...i just threw up in my mouth a little
if we hire nutt we should all go on strike. make them pay for this treason
The more I read of the Nutt speculation, the more I can't help but think this is all Sexton trying to get Ole Miss to pony up a bit more for one of his clients.
Yea JayG you should get your name in the hat for HC. Then you could bring some Hotties on staff.
I'm appling for LB/DB coach and my resume will be a video clip from 'Remember the Titans' when Coach Yost told them to BLITZ ALL NIGHT!
I nominate Mr. S as OC, Pred as DC and Monica as Tight Ends coach (dirty old man smile) ;>
"Houston, we have a problem."
That was bad. I'm sorry.
I think everyone but nall is staying for now.
Good looking out, BigCat! Presh.
:-)
You need to google it and find where you can buy it. I think Emory Folmer has decided not to sell it in Alabama.
Jay
Where is Nall going? Clemson, SC?
Maybe we can see him in the peach bowl.
Wanted to throw this out there. Jay, is there any chatter about Kevin Wilson when head coaching jobs come up? I never here his name, but he seems to run one hell of an offense at OU? http://soonersports.com/school-bio/kevin_wilson.html
There is going to be an uprising if Nutt is hired. That just seems ridiculous to me.
For the record, Eddie, I don't want to have the opportunity to say "I told you so". If anything, I want it to be the other way around.
I would have absolutely preferred to have Tubs back next year, but now that the deed is done, I hope we get the best guy available. I hope for nothing but the best for Auburn.
If things take a downward turn, I won't say "told you so" but something along the lines of "happy now?". But again, I really hope I don't get that chance.
Mike Leach? Houston Nutt? Petrino?
How about going after Butch Davis so we don't have this same situation in 2-3 years. Or even Dickenson @ ASU.
Wow.. Auburn "boosters/AD" really have it going on don't they. A great way to build up the program is to bring in someone from Ole' Miss and start the same scenario again.
They are using Nutt. Now whoever we hire we will say glad it was not nutt.
Sweet Zues Beard, Mike Leach looks like frickin' Shug Jordan compared to Houston Nutt, PLEASE tell me they are not serious...
That and Ole Miss would hate us forever...
Hey! Maybe Tubs could get his old job back!
Denny,
I found it on the Alabama ABC November price list.
Going to call some of the local ABC stores to see if they have it in stock.
I heard that OC at Mizzou has a new job but didn't hear where. Anybody know? Just curious.
Outstanding.
Mizzou OC went to Wyoming if I remember correctly.
AUTiger3, he went to Wyoming.
Please don't let it be Houston Nutt!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the answers on the Mizzou OC.
Could it be that all of these names are a smoke screen and Auburn is really talking to Butch Davis?
Something to consider.
oj sentencing coming up!!
JayG
Has Tuberville made any type of statement. If not, do you expect one, or maybe a press conference anytime soon? Sure would be nice to hear his side of this.
Thanks for all the coverage of this mess.
I hope so. Butch Davis would be big time. I can't help but think a coach like him would like to play second fiddle to basketball.
FSJ,
I sincerely hope you are right on that one.
OJ is going down!
I've been lurking and reading this blog off and on all season, but this is the first time I've got to post some...
Houston Nutt??? Are you kidding me. Tubbs would do a better job than Houston Nutt. I think Nutt is doing so well at Ole Miss because Orgeron left some pretty decent talent, and Nutt is a semi decent coach. Does anyone wonder what's going to happen in four years when all the players are Houston Nutt's recruits, yeah just look at Arkansas the last two years. I mean there are no words to describe my disappointment in Auburn if they hire HOUSTON Freakin' NUTT!
Also I think Petrino would be a bad hire as well, I'm not going to argue about his coaching abilities, but because of pervious incidents (jetgate, leaving the falcons like he did) there is going to be a lot of bad blood between him and the Auburn fans.
Yeah this judge is lighting him up right now.
Coming from past experience, pay no attention to which coach says they are not interested or turning the job down. The majority won't be offered at all.
Heck, Jim Haslett turned Alabama down last time. Does anybody believe he was actually offered?
Please.
http://www.greatbourbon.com/eagleraresb.aspx
Not only a superb bourbon, but great etched label.
she sure is. she's like a more calm judge from people's court
i just finished a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue Label..spectacular
well, not just now. but a couple weeks ago
This entire situation makes me think of a line from Forrest Gump:
"Stupid is as stupid does"
It's amazing how many people "turn down" jobs just because someone in the media asked them if they were the next coach.
I am simply amazed at the number of peeps out there who are falling for the Houston Nutt disinformation. It is all part of the deception plan. I am in earnest on this statement.
who the hell are we gonna get then? im starting to think the ad is clueless and might be dumb enough to get nutt...realisticly crum who are we gonna get
?
im starting to think auburn is finished
someone talk me down
im freakin out mannn
Sometimes you feel like a Nutt... sometimes you don't. Got to think this is a smokescreen, or a LOT of people said no.
Tim Anon, we've had an official opening for a whole day. Relax.
I'm anxiously awaiting the announcement too, but let's let this thing breathe.
if we get nutt...im a troy fan from now on
anon....join up and get more sympathy
oj is going to jail for a while. lot of legal talk i didn't understand. but the gist of it is oj is finally going to jail
cool got me a name...im the anon guy...hey everyone...sorry bout the rantin...just freakin out
Maybe they float Nutt's name to get everyone in an uproar and actually are trying to get Leach, whom they may have wanted all along.
15yrs
guess i didnt get a name...bogus
Harrison,
I may be mistaken, but I believe concurrent sentences run all at the same time, while consecutive sentences add on to each other.
The longest sentence I heard was a 5 year minimum on the kidnapping charge. I think there was some added to that in the form of consecutive sentences as she was reading.
When is he eligible for parole?
After 5 yrs parole
can someone walk me through how to sign up...horrible at this stuff
Sorry 18yrs
The 5 years was the parole eligibility, the whole sentence on the kidnapping was 15 years.
Anon, go to blogger.com and sign up.
Easy as that.
james is right - concurrent means he's burning a sentence for multiple charges all at the same time
5 years i think. then he has to another for a gun charge. so this legal analyst on espn said he will be in jail for a minimum of 9-10 years in a best case scenario
ok will do...this is the best place to talk au football IMO.... level headed people...nice folks...not many bama tards lurking...lets hope they dont find out about us
yes you're right. but there are consecutive as well as concurrent. so when he inishes the concurrent sentences he has to serve the consecutive sentences
9-10 sounds about right. Maybe we can see OJ on an episode of Lock Up!
Is it odd that Butch Davis' crew hasn't spoken a word about this thing?
They came out quick and addressed the UTn gig.
From the Ole Miss beat guy:
A morning at the IPF finally produced a phone conversation with one Ole Miss football coach Houston Nutt. I asked him point blank about the Auburn job and he said "It's just rumors. That's all it is. I've had absolutely no contact with Auburn. They'll have to carry me out of here in a pine box if they want me to leave Ole Miss." He also said Auburn has not talked with his agent Jimmy Sexton.
I may have added 1 line in there.
Hey, anyone else read the comments by Rodney garner?
He still oves AU and would probably come back. It was Tubs that didn't want him, right?
He's been at UGag for 10 yrs now.
I'm really starting to warm up to Jimbo Fisher but if his buyout's 5 million, pass.
He should have had a clause to take at l;east one job and the AU job's been his fave from what I've read.
His ole lady's an AU grad and P. Marshall said he could get a bunch of former AU players to come back and coach.
Why do they have Preston Gothard on this show?
Do they just need a former Bama player sounding foolish for the Bama demographic?
I'm w/ Mr.S,
Let's just chill a while. Things will work out all in due time.
Jay-G,
I have to believe someone is pulling your leg!!
What up Chris!
I think Fisher's buyout is around $3 million, at least that is what an FSU guy told me.
I think I read today that it was 2.5 until last season when he flirted with WVu.
Curious.
Jimbo gets a lot of credit from many circles for being a top notch recruiter when at LSU.
What's he done at FSU in the recruiting dept?
gotta go back to work.......check bacl laters.
Why is AU looking at Houston Nutt?
Auburn University athletic director Peter Griffin announced the hiring of Houston "Giggity" Nutt as the Tigers' new head coach.
Griffin said the hiring will work as well as the time he hired Ray Charles as a drivers' education teacher during his days at James Woods High School at Quahog, Rhode Island.
jet's take: I like Nutt, in the way I like "Family Guy." It's a guilty pleasure, but for Pete's sake, let's do a LOT better than this.
BOOM SHAKALAKA!
anon did you get it figured out...
only fsj is the closet bammmer
Nobody has said that Auburn is looking at Nutt except Nutt's agent is my guess.
Butch Davis is not a good hire. He sounds like the real deal, but he is easily dissapoints. I live near Chapel Hill, follow UNC closely, and have been to games. Good recruiter, but not a good game coach. The blitzing aggressive D will be gone, and he doesn't add much to the O. I liked CTT but wanted more fire out of him. Davis would be like CTT on downers.
Preston Gothard got screwed out of a touchdown catch at Happy Valley in 1983 worse than any I have ever seen.
So Miami made Butch Davis?
Butch Davis didn't rebuild Miami?
Leach and Muschamp not candidates according to Bham news.
Is jay in auburn? They said they were gonna try and call him.
Seriously, spurrier and muschamp are the top choices?
Oh shoot me now...
FSJ ... I'm thinking Sexton is the News' top source ... I'm taking that info with a boulder of salt.
Also remember, that the News reported weeks ago that AU was trying raise 16-17 million.
Tubby = 6
Petrino escape = 10
Coincidence? Hmmmm.
I still think it's one of those two.
Addendum to my recent post ... I still think it's one of those two (Petrino/Muschamp).
Chris Peterson to Miss State.
I didn't say Davis was a "bad" coach, just not a good hire. He's an average coach with very conservative defensive tendancies. Prevent is his favorite scheme, and it cost him at least three games this season alone. Last year he blew the USC (east-coast variety) with a boneheaded call when he had the OBC beat. He's just not good under pressure.
Jay, yesterday, I mentioned that I was hearing CHARLIE STRONG's name a good bit.
Today, I had a Birmingham guy that has ties to Auburn confirm that he was going to get an interview.
Are you hearing that?
http://spartyandfriends.com/2008/12/05/breaking-news-sources-confirm-chris-peterson-to-mississippi-st/
Just heard Chris Peterson to MSU!
Didn't Florida win a national championship with Leak and Tebow?
So much for my "scientologists won't be hired in the south" theory. We've come a long way, folks
I think the Nutt thing is just a ploy to get us to accept Mike Leach better. It lets us know how bad it could have been.
Michael, can you find me a valid source that says he is a scientologist?
Surely my alarm will sound soon and I will awake from this terrible dream that Houston Nutt and Jimbo Fisher may be our top HC candidates.
Scratch Houston Nutt according to JOX.
I've changed my mind. I would be happy if it was Spurrier.
Spurrier?
Please no.
Monica as much as I love you, we are diametrically opposed on coaching choices. ;-)
is there a reputable source for petersen to MSU?
For Jay G
- Not Tim
I didn't say he was my choice. I said I could be happy.
Kristina - Who is on your wish list?
i'm sick of people reporting that coaches have turned down the job...have we even heard that the job has been offerred to anyone yet?
Spurrier= No fire in the belly.
Once again - If you're going to call Jacobs a liar on the air shouldn't you offer some support for that? Even if it's your "opinion" isn't there at least a very LOW bar of accountability considering the public forum you enjoy?
Monica, dont you know I am one of those people who just knocks down everyone's suggestions but makes none of her own...lol
Petersen who according to a MSU (as in Michigain State?!?!) site, he is going to Miss State. I dont know, really. Maybe Johnson?
Faker - Get your own material.
Why not try to go after Butch Davis? Or Dickerson from ASU?
Mike Leach? Houston Nutt?
Our AD/Boosters have lost it.
I'm trying to figure out if Sam the Eagle or the Cobra Viper is my favorite picture on here.
Oh boy...another Johnson fan.
I am for whoever Faker is against.
i'm begining to think we are screwed...just a thought
Kristina - Well, then we're not diametrically opposed on coaching choices as Paul Johnson as been at the top of my list.
jhag,
Y'all were screwed the day I joined this blog..
:-)
I'm shocked Preston Gothard picked Alabama...of course he is a genius this year.
Who in their right f-cking mind would be happy about Nutt? I don't think that's as real as the hacking Scarbinsky's of the world "think".
Dang Petersen is a scientologist? Yea I doubt that would fly in AL. MSU got a great coach if that's true.
Chris FSU has taken a few AU commits over the years. Last year it was 6'3" WR Jarmon Fortson, 4/5* player. I dont know if that was Jimbo's doing or not.
Crudup, Nutt has to be a red herring...
James in B'ham:
Nutt is not the second coming of Tubs. Tubs has so much more class than Nutt. If we're going to swap 8 win coaches give me Tubs and I'll understand mediocrity.
Can ANYONE give me a valid source that says Petersen is a scientologist?
What is Chris Petersen thinking if he is going to take the Miss. State job?
Has anybody actually been to Starkvegas?
Oh my.....
going on wmsp now.
Faker Faker Dope Brownie Maker:
Who do you NOT want to be at Auburn?

FSJ- a friend of mine is a MSU alum. He told me peterson and the new ad at MSU are good friend. TFWIW.
Jay, you should post the links to the feed when you go on air. We're challenged by simply too much information to take in.
FSJ, all I know is Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes in Bulldog gear with cowbells is going to be a sight to see.
Oh yeah and I think they will pay 2.5-3mil. Id live in Nome for that.

Sensi, imagine the half time speech by Cruise? They'll run out of the locker room with swords.
NO NUTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
jay likes brian kelly
f***, i wanted Peterson!
I can see that Crudup.
MSU running the statue of liberty will be fun to see too.
I'm not an Auburn fan DOUG
jay gets the HABOTN love.....he's not giving anything away
Crudup:
I do not want Paul Johnson at Auburn....Another Pat Dye, IMO
After that, obviously I don't want Petrino or Davis.
Spurrier does not scare me. Neither does Houston Nutt even though they are good coaches. Saban would eat them alive in recruiting.
Leach doesn't fit at Auburn.
Don't know much about Kelly.
does anybody else think the guys on mont. sports talk are goobs?
Brian Kelly? Now there's a name with no name recognition.
My brother's manager's brother's uncle's best fried said Darth Visor had his head tilted downa and left, right eye brow raises, and mouth tightened in the form of a surgical tear. That, of course, indicates interest in the Auburn job.
Jay G, are you wearing your hoodie today?
