A Nutt Job At Ole Miss

    The media build-up to the Ole Miss-Arkansas game was supposed to make us feel sorry for Houston Nutt, who was chased out of Arkansas last season and replaced by the scurrilous Bobby Petrino.
   Not that any neutral fan should pull for Petrino, seeing as how his handling of the midseason abandonment of the Atlanta Falcons is an unforgivable sin.
   But let's not pity Nutt, who signed on Ole Miss' dotted line about the same day he received a hefty buyout from the Razorbacks. Nutt hit the lottery, and he did leave the Razorbacks' cupboard all but bare.
   Who among all you non-Rebels and non-Razorbacks hoped would win this game?
   Having said that, Nutt has made Ole Miss competitive this season -- and likely headed for a bowl.
   Still, nearly all head coaches wear out their welcome. No need to pity them when they get paid a princely sum to move on.
   By the way, any Petrino defenders out there?
