Houston Nutt’s given out an extensive interview with some paper called The Morning News. It’s about what you’d expect, and judging from the comments that appeared in response to a summary story about the interview, I’d say the typical Arky fan is less than impressed with what the Nuttster had to say. For good reason, as the man is in some serious denial.
Just to give you a little taste, check out the very end of the interview:
TMN: “With all the Internet and e-mails that you and your family are exposed to, did anybody in the family ever forward any of those?
HN: “I think once, my wife, the only one I know about, she forwarded one letter that was sent to her or something or either an article in the paper or letter, I think my wife forwarded something.”
TMN: “Was it an e-mail critical of Mitch or Gus or somebody like that?”
HN: “I don’t think so, but I don’t know 100 percent for sure.”
That would be this email. One of the emails that caused Nutt to revoke Prewett’s sideline pass. Does he really expect people to believe that he just kinda-sorta knows about the email being forwarded by his wife – and doesn’t really know what the email contained? Sure.
Well, don’t worry, Mr. Nutt. I have a feeling that a few of your competitors will be showing potential Arky recruits the email in question over the next few seasons. You can always get a copy from one of them when you drop in to make a sales pitch.
Get The Picture 
I believe that this coaching staff and athletic department were involved in the Russian Chernobyl Nuclear Plant and Russian Submarine Kursk disasters. The denial is blatant. The stupiditiy is … well … not surprising. How much money does this guy make a year? Oh wait, he just got a raise and a contract extension…

Funny you should use a nautical reference.
I saw this AP story about the Nuttster realigning his coaching staff (at http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=2773301), and the first thing that popped into my head was “it’s like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.”
