Face to face: First meeting on field — and personally — for West, Nutt
http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2008/aug/28/face-to-face/ It’s rare that two college football coaches who have spent all of this decade in neighboring states have never met. But so it is for Tommy West of Memphis and new Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt, who just finished 10 years guiding Arkansas. “We’ve never met,” West said, “but Houston did a good job…
