Houston Nutt served as a head coach in the SEC for 14 seasons from 1998-2011 with the Arkansas Razorbacks and the Ole Miss Rebels. Nutt coached at Arkansas from 1998-2007, leading the Razorbacks to three SEC West titles and three New Years Day bowl games in that time. He resigned from his position at Arkansas following the 2007 regular season, which ended with a 50-48 win over then-No. 1 LSU. He left Arkansas with a 75-48 record as coach of the Razorbacks.

In November of 2007 Nutt signed to become the next football coach at the University of Mississippi, where he coached for four seasons. Nutt hit the ground running, taking a team coming off three straight losing seasons and helping it earn a spot in the final Associated Press poll in each of his first two seasons. The Rebels went 9-4 both years and won back-t0-back Cotton Bowls before experiencing a major drop-off. Ole Miss went 4-8 in 2010 and 2-10 in 2011, posting a 1-15 record against SEC opponents during that time. Nutt was subsequently fired and replaced with Hugh Freeze. He was 24-26 in his four seasons as coach of the Rebels.
