Yeah that's my first thought. Ole Miss is not exactly the hot spot in the coaching world. They screwed up firing Cutcliff - just like Bama screwed up not hiring Sylvester.

The lower tier SEC team's have a tough row to hoe given the top tier teams coaches. Look at the divisions and coaches Tupperville, Miles, Saban, Croom in the West - Meyer, Richt, Spurrier, Fulmer in the East.

I'd think they've got to hope they can land a rising star from a FCS school or something like that.

You may be right but talk about an up hill battle - it could ruin a really good young coach. Whoever it is will have their hands full trying to win in a pretty tough conference (the best conference ). Ole Miss does have the best looking coeds in the conference
