Nutt Resigns As Arkansas Coach
27th November, 2007 - 8:25 am
ESPN - Embattled Arkansas Coach Houston Nutt resigned Monday, giving up his job three days after directing the Razorbacks to a victory over top-ranked LSU. Defensive Coordinator Reggie Herring will coach the team in its bowl.

Nutt told Chancellor John A. White that he wanted to close a chapter in his life.

"Houston's decision to resign was neither forced or encouraged or requested," White said.

ESPN.com first reported on Monday that the second-longest tenured football coach in the Southeastern Conference would not be back.

Nutt might not remain unemployed for long. Sources close to the situation told ESPN.com that Nutt and his representative have already had discussions about the former Arkansas coach replacing Ed Orgeron at Ole Miss or Guy Morriss at Baylor. [READ]
