On November 7th, Chancellor Dan Jones and Athletic Director Pete Boone announced that Ole Miss Head Football Houston Nutt was fired. Nutt would be allowed to coach the final three games of the season.
In the first game following the announcement, the Rebels fell to Lousiana Tech 27-7 before a sparse crowd of 44,123. Coach Nutt admitted following the game that the announcement of his firing the previous Monday had a "snowball effect" on the teams struggles. The Rebels stand at 2-8 on the season. In the rugged SEC conference, the team has lost 13 straight games.
The Rebels next had to face the #1 LSU Tigers before closing the season on the road Saturday in the annual Egg Bowl vs. Mississippi State.
