The Magnolia State’s New Six Million Dollar Man

No, Lee Majors is not making a comeback in television, but University of Mississippi Head Football Coach Houston Nutt will not be returning to the sidelines next season in Oxford, per Chris Low of ESPN.

Also, embattled Ole Miss Athletic Director, Pete Boone, is expected to step down once his successor is hired, per multiple radio reports.

Nutt in his fourth season at Ole Miss is guaranteed a six million dollar buyout of his remaining contract. Ole Miss finished 4-8 last season after winning back-to-back Cotton Bowls in Nutt’s first two seasons. This season, Ole Miss is 2-7, has lost 12 straight SEC conference games and has lost to instate rival Mississippi State two years in a row.
Some of the expected names to replace Houston Nutt are the following:

Kirby Smart, Alabama Defensive Coordinator
Gus Malzahn, Auburn Offensive Coordinator
Kevin Sumlin, Houston Cougars Head Football Coach
Mike Leach, former Texas Tech Head Football Coach
