The Houston Nutt era at Ole Miss really began on March 20 with the beginning of spring drills.
Nutt succeeded Ed Orgeron. He led the Razorbacks to eight bowl games and three SEC Western Division titles. He usually wins about seven games per season.
After Nutt’s first spring at the helm of the Ole Miss program, Rebel fans demonstrated their renewed faith in the program by responding with increased season ticket sales and overflow audiences at alumni functions. They bought a lot of Ole Miss merchandise, hoping that their team has a good year.
Although Nutt entered his first spring at Ole Miss with a team that returned 47 lettermen, the slate was wiped clean as everyone went back to square one. Nutt’s approach when he came on board in December was to not concentrate on last year’s down year season.
One significant change in the experienced offensive line was having guard John Jerry. Another change affecting the offensive line was the movement of sophomore running back Reggie Hicks to tight end.
One area that Nutt doesn’t seem to have any major concerns is at wide receiver, which he rates as probably one of the most talented groups he’s been around in a long time.
