Someone refresh my memory...

What was the sequence of events for the Nutt hiring? Obviously Boone had it in the works WAY before it happened. I'm 99% positive Byrne didn't have this lined up with Tubby.

What was said publicly, etc.?

They hired him to be their head coach....

1. Lot's of unrest and speculation from Ark fans.
2. At end of season, Ark announces that Nutt will return for the 2008 season, but with no contract extension or raise.
3. Mississippi fires Orgeron.
4. Mississippi hires consulting firm to search for a new coach.
5. The next day, Nutt resigns from Arkansas.
6. The next day, Nutt is announced as Mississippi's coach.
7. Mississippi pays the consulting firm 10% of the contract price since they didn't use them after all.

If Boone had it worked out with Nutt in advance, why did he hire the consulting firm and why did he sign a contract with them that called for a penalty for early termination?

almost the EXACT same situation as with Tuberville.
