On Monday afternoon Ole Miss and Houston Nutt released joint statements that announced an end to the former coach’s lawsuit filed against the university, the administration and the coaching staff under Hugh Freeze. The statements do not discuss the terms of the agreement.
The lawyers who represent the University and Coach Nutt have communicated during the past few weeks to reach an agreement that would allow the parties to resolve Coach Nutt’s claim while avoiding the costs and distractions associated with further litigation. The parties have reached such an agreement.
