Ole Miss fans pine for Cutcliffe days

[PAUL POWELL]

IT'S APPARENT THAT THE PRESENT COACH? RECUITER DON'T FEEL THAT WE HAVE TALENT IN MISSISSIPPI. NOW OLE MISS FANS CAN FILL THE SEATS WATCHING OUTER STATE PLAYERS. MS. PLAYER'S PLAY WITH PRIDE FOR THEIR STATE, REFER BACK TO THE DAYS OF OUR NATIONAL RANKINGS.

I don't think that it's a "talent" issue for MS. I lived there for 29 years and watched football from Southaven,MS to McComb to Vicksburg. There is talent in MS, but unfortunately, the level of education that is needed to be eligable to qualify on an ACT of GPA is the issue. It's a fact that the state educational program is so underfunded that any gifted athletes are forced to go to JUCO and play. It's an age old story: recruit a 4 star or 5 star player and a largew percentage of them struggle to qualify academically. Besides this fact, you cannot blame a coach for going after the best talent available for a program.*Remember- Eli was not from MS!!!

I AGREE THAT CUTCLIFF IS A REALLY GOOD COACH, BUT NO OTHER TEAM HAS LOOKED AT HIM AS A HEAD COACH.
I LIKE COACH CUT BUT EVERYTHING THAT IS BEING SAID IS TRUE. OLE MISS DID USE HIM TO GET ELI WHICH IS ONE PLAYER. THAT ONE PLAYER DID GET SOME OTHERS TO COME TO OLE MISS. OLE MISS GAVE HIM ONE YEAR AFTER ELI AND GAVE HIM UP. THEY TOLD HIM TO GET RID OF SOME ASSISSTANT COACHES AND HE COULD STAY.
HE DID THE RIGHT THING AND LEFT AND GOOD LUCK AS OC. THATS HIS FORTE

2 simple things, first a question:
1- Did the DL (Powe, I think is his name) ever get NCAA eligible and sign his LOI with Ole Miss?
2- We turned in a top 25 recruiting class with Powe's signing. Coach O is getting on a hot seat. There are no more excuses about a lack of talent at Ole Miss. As a long time Ole Miss and graduate, anything less than 7 wins is a dissappointment. I do realize that Snead will make an impact in '08 but Cutcliffe's mark on the team is practically erased. It's time to see some results. I am tired of driving 350 miles to watch them get beat!!! Go Rebs!!!
