   Tough times at the Grove in Oxford - last year they retired their mascot and have yet to replace Kernel Reb with The Archies.

   Now they're without a head football coach.

   But the Ole Miss faithful should take heart - Gerry DiNardo and Lou Holtz are on the market. And if they need a bargain, Curley Hallman's team at Muscle Shoals High School in Alabama went 3-7 this fall, so he might be available cheap - MSHS has him at $0.072 million a year.

   My question is this--who does Ole Miss expect to hire that will be better than Cutcliffe?

   Yes, he had a down year...but you lost Eli Manning and 17 seniors....it's not easy to bounce back from that.
