ESPN.com says that the interview is now officially endorsed by Buffalo.

Forgone conclusion that he goes there? It's gonna be hard to root against him.

Edit: Read some of the comments. Funny stuff. I get the feeling sometimes that Kansas fans think they are going to get Urban Meyer for head coach, Stoops and Pelini for co-defensive coordinators, and Saban and Carrol for co-offense coordinators. Jeesh, amazing how Mangino inflated their heads.

He did a good job turning around UB even though his record isn't great, he did a lot with what he had.

I would be happy to see what he could do next door.

Houston Nutt has been linked to the KU job now.

From ESPN's Tim Griffin/Big 12 Blog

Another name has surfaced for the vacant Kansas head coaching job created last week when Mark Mangino resigned.

 

The Kansas City Star is reporting that Mississippi coach Houston Nutt has met with Kansas athletic director Lew Perkins about the job.

 

Nutt, 52, would provide a splash if he was hired by Kansas. In 12 seasons as a head coach -- 10 at Arkansas and two at Mississippi -- Nutt has posted a 92-56 record and been a three-time SEC coach of the year. He makes $2.5 million per season, which would put his contract slightly ahead of Mangino's $2.3 million contract.

 

Nutt was offered the Nebraska job after the 2003 season while coaching at Arkansas before the Cornhuskers opted for Bill Callahan.

 

Several media outlets have reported that Perkins will meet with Buffalo coach Turner Gill sometime in the next several days.

 
It would be a great move for Gill. But having him at KU would weaken our recruiting in Texas a bit. Hard to say how much, but it would have an effect on us.

 
As tough as it would be for me to root against Gill, this would be a great opportunity. Going up against Nutt will be tough though since Houston has had some success and experience at a BCS school.

I cannot fathom why Houston Nutt would leave Mississippi for Kansas. That would make zero sense.

After he has turned down Nebraska in the days before the collapse no less

 
Duh - Nutt is looking for another raise. Shoulda figured that one out. Bradr's comment about the Nebraska/Nutt search jogged my memory.

 
Anyone else heard this? There's a link on Gene Menez's twitter page.

Don't know how i feel about this.
