The Houston Nutt-to-Auburn saga lasted barely one day after the Ole Miss coach agreed to an extension with the Rebels that will pay him around $2.5 million a year.
“What we want to do is keep our coaching salaries competitive and in the middle of the pack in the Southeastern Conferece,” UM athletic director Pete Boone told the Clarion-Ledger.
Funny, that was almost exactly what Auburn athletic director Jay Jacobs said Thursday afternoon.

Not a bad "average" salary. It used to be that you needed to excel in your field to get that kind of money.
I think the coaching fraternity loves it when a job like Auburn opens up, because it gives everybody in the country an opportunity to leverage a better deal in their current job.
And nothing about Nutt screams "$2.5 million coach," in my opinion.
I have always felt that Nutt was a good coach, and Arkansas was stupid for treating him poorly and letting him go. Good for him.
