For practically a decade, Nutt and Freeze have had a unstable relationship akin to 2 bucks crossing paths in the course of the rut.

Regardless of this, it appeared the present CBS faculty soccer analyst had moved on and was OK with Freeze getting a chance at Auburn.

“I am all for second probabilities and third probabilities,” Nutt mentioned. “No matter. That is fantastic.”

 Till he wasn’t.

It was straightforward to really feel the previous come effervescent up by way of the radio audio system and issues positively weren’t fantastic.

Simply previous to being requested instantly about Hugh Freeze, Nutt indicated he did not perceive the rent as he talked about Freeze with out really saying his title whereas addressing his confusion about coaches getting cash and alternative for dropping.

“Auburn is gonna rent a man who misplaced the final month,” Nutt mentioned. “You can inform when he began in search of jobs. He received beat by New Mexico State. He received beat by UConn, UConn received higher, and Virginia Tech. It is a completely different world.”

Of the 21 violations Ole Miss confronted, solely 4 had been attributed to Nutt’s tenure.

The factor that received me was after I got here residence the final Sunday I got here to Little Rock, my mother took the paper and opened up the web page and he or she mentioned ‘They’re saying that you’ve got nearly all of violations son?’ And when your mom, it is one factor it goes throughout the ticker at ESPN, however when your mom asks you ‘Son do you will have nearly all of violations?” I mentioned ‘Mother, I do not even have one violation.’”

As for Auburn hiring a coach quite a few followers loudly objected to for his accusations of inappropriate relations with feminine college students whereas teaching at Briarcrest Excessive Faculty in Memphis, quite a few calls to women of unwell reputation on his college telephone whereas out touring for Ole Miss and experiences of unsolicited messages to a sexual assault survivor at Liberty, Nutt attributed it to a single phrase.

Desperation.

“Hugh Freeze did job at Liberty apart from the final month and he beat Alabama,” Nutt mentioned. “Auburn to me is in a determined mode. They’re in a determined mode they usually needed to really feel like we have to get someone that may reside in the identical state as the best, Nick Saban, and who can beat him.”

As for his true ideas in summarizing the rent?

“Better of luck and all that,” Nutt mentioned. “I used to be stunned. I used to be stunned.”
