Remember when he used to always try and take credit for Petrino's success? He just can't help himself.

“Jaylen Walton is a kid we signed out of Memphis,” said Nutt, who coached at Ole Miss from 2008 to 2011. “He’s a small kid, but he can fly. If they had one more back, I bet Coach Freeze would feel pretty good. But I’m sure they’re feeling pretty good anyway. You go to Alabama and win in that environment, you’re off to a great start.”
Ole Miss beat Alabama in Tuscaloosa for just the second time in program history – and the first time since 1988.
“They’ve done a good job,” Nutt said. “When we were there, we won two Cotton Bowls, and off those two Cotton Bowls, if you look, there’s some guys that are still playing. Ed Orgeron left me two very good classes.”
Nutt paused.
“He also left me two bad classes and that’s why I’m talking to you tonight,” he said, laughing. “But we signed Robert Nkemdiche older brother, Denzel. Denzel, nobody really wanted him. He was really a good player. And then when we went to the living-room visit, all of a sudden we said, ‘Now who is this guy?’”
That guy was Robert.
“(Denzel said), ‘That’s my brother, coach, and he’ll be the No. 1 player coming out of high school next year,’” Nutt recalled. “I didn’t think much about it at the time, and all of a sudden Robert Nkemdiche is the No. 1 high school junior at the time.
“They’ve got a nucleus there, and Hugh did a good job of adding to it,” Nutt continued
