Houston Nutt just can’t nab an SEC win. On Wednesday, as first reported by the Clarion-Ledger’s Antonio Morales, a U.S. district judge in Mississippi granted Ole Miss and its athletics foundation its request to dismiss Nutt’s embarrassing embarrassment lawsuit against the university and other ancillary parties that, according to his lawsuit, had slandered him out on the recruiting trail, thus preventing him from coaching college football ever again.
Nutt went 2-11 in his final season at helm in Oxford, tallying exactly zero in-conference wins.
Nutt’s tenure was also the period in which series academic fraud practices made their way to NCAA investigators, with various ACT proctors filling in or correcting recruits’ answer sheets on the day of the exam.
