Per Sports Illustrated, the Houston Nutt lawsuit sites a breach of contract due to a calculated media campaign against Nutt. The immediate aftermath of the suit’s filing brought many doomsday claims. The majority of the claims centered around Hugh Freeze.
Numerous media members claimed this would be the downfall of Hugh Freeze at Ole Miss. Well, they were both correct and wrong.
The lawsuit itself did not take down Freeze; however, the phone records made public by the lawsuit did take down Freeze.
The records revealed a one minute phone call to an escort service, which Freeze played off as a misdial.
