How have you meshed with a new head coach after 15 years with Tommy Tuberville?

TP:Any time you make a change it’s different, but Houston Nutt is a first-class coach...... I heard a lot of great things about Houston before I came to Ole Miss. Now that I’m here, it’s been better than what I heard as far as what kind of guy he is, what kind of motivator he is. .......He does a great job. ........ He’s a great guy to work for, and the players love him to death.

What was it like for you as an opposing DL coach to play Houston Nutt’s teams?

I hated playing his teams to be honest with you. As a defensive coach playing that offense, one thing you knew going into that game was you better strap it on. .......They played their tails off for four quarters, and they played tough, physical football. That’s why he’s been successful. He does a great job with his personnel, getting those kids to believe, play hard, play tough and physical.

what Price says is true. Nutt's teams play very physical in the LOS. They broke an Arkansas' players neck last year, (although he might play again) and took Terrance Cody out for a few games. That's just some injuries I was familiar with following both programs. Nutt's players will play extremely hard no matter the situation.
