Nix Rumor
There's a rumor that Urban Meyer has offered Tyrone Nix $500K to come be Florida's new DC since Strong took the Louisville job yesterday.
Can anyone confirm?

Haven't heard about that. I think he's pretty close to Houston Nutt though, isn't he?

I thought so, Rebel. But that's an awful lot of cash to turn away if it's true.

RE: Nix Rumor
I had read some rumors about it here and there, but it was mainly just suspected that UF would go after him. Hadn't heard about UGA being in the mix. Ole Miss needs to step up and give him a reason to stay put.

RE: Nix Rumor
We need to pony up some damn money. I know UGA REALLY needs one after that joke of a DC Willie Martinez was fired. They're both in dire need but they need to get their own damn DC.
BTW, if Nix leaves, think his brother will stay?

So far they're saying Derrick hasn't made a statement either way.

So, if he makes the decision to leave, when are we planning on meeting up to curbjob his ass? You don't leave la familia.
BTW, other than the money, I think it would be a huge mistake. Florida is going to be **** next year. They're losing their Touchdown Jesus and the backup is no Tebow. Spikes is also gone. They're losing their DC, and they lost their OC to MSU. Ole Miss, however, is on the rise. He wants to win, and strengthen his resume, he needs to stay put. I have faith in Nutt. I don't think there's a Rebel that shouldn't. After 3 losing seasons, the dude took us to two Cotton Bowls. Not to discount what Meyer has done, but Meyer took over a winning program. Nutt did not. My GOD did he not.

RE: Nix Rumor
I do, however, want to see how Nutt recruits. Say what you will about Orgeron, but that sumbitch could recruit. Hell, he was the #1 recruiter in the nation when he was on the national champion Miami and then the national champion U$C. ....he just couldn't coach worth a ****.

RE: Nix Rumor
Actually, he took us to two straight Cotton Bowls after four straight losing seasons, not three. Cutt's last year was kind of a bummer. I have faith in Nutt too, but I'm getting awfully scared from some of the things that I hear that Pete Boone causes a lot of tension between the big 3 head coaches. That has to stop or Pete has to go.

I SOOOO agree, Wiz. Boone has done a phenomenal job of fundraising for the university with the IPF, the stadium expansion, new basketball practice facility, etc. But he is a terrible boss to the coaches.
Kevin, I too am looking forward to seeing how well Nutt recruits. There, of course, are the detractors (mainly from Fayetteville) who'll tell you he can't recruit. I like to remind them that Oxford is NOT Fayetteville. Fayetteville is a fine town, business wise, but it is not an atmosphere condusive to many recruits' desires regarding a fun and great place to live.

RE: Nix Rumor
He, well, maybe one of his coaches, has recruited some good players. McFadden comes to mind. Who recruited Mallet?

Nutt orig recruited Mallett but he wound up going to Michigan when all the crap with the Sprindale posse went south. After the dust had settled in Fayetteville with all respective parties going separate ways - Mustain and Williams to USC, Malzahn to Tulsa and Nutt to Oxford - then Petrino was hired.
At the same time, Rodriguez was hired at Michigan and it was evident that Mallett didn't fit into his offense, he transferred to Arkansas, which is where he wanted to be all along having grown up a Razorback fan.

RE: Nix Rumor
Latest from David Brandt at the CL:
"So is UM defensive coordinator Tyrone Nix staying in Oxford or taking the job in Florida? Folks in the know around here say he's still trying to make his decision. The Florida job offers more presitge and a little more money. But Nix likes the Ole Miss gig because he has complete control over the defense. Whatever his decision, I expect it pretty soon."

If Ole Miss ponies up more money, he stays I think.
