To help us through the hot July runup to SEC Media Days, let’s continue our look at the 20 most important people in terms of their impact on whether Mississippi State has a successful 2010 football season.

No. 8: Houston Nutt, Ole Miss coach
Having covered college sports in this state for most of the past decade, I’ve been fortunate to make friends on both sides of the proverbial Mississippi State/Ole Miss aisle.
