Saban also advised Skip to hire Houston Nutt upon his departure .... so.


To be fair Houston Nutt would have done great things with the talent Saban left at LSU. Houston Nutt was an outstanding coach but a terrible recruiter and talent evaluator. He won a handful of games with the talent Orgeron pulled in at Ole Miss for a couple years before Nutt’s recruited players came in and they immediately went into the tank.

I’ve always wondered if the Houston Nutt thing was Nick laying the groundwork for his return to LSU in case he didn’t like the NFL.

Kind of tin foil hat, but if you buy the prevailing wisdom of Nutt being someone who could win with other people’s players and then run out of steam when he had to recruit his own...

Mix that with a person so torn and prone to second thoughts about staying/going not only at Miami, but LSU and even Michigan State and it kind of adds up.
