Ole Miss' Nutt to Masoli: 'I got eyes on me for taking a thug'

According to the Jackson Clarion-Ledger, Rebels head coach Houston Nutt said he warned his soon-to-be new quarterback of the public repercussions that would come with enrolling at the school and taking the field with his off-field baggage not too far out of view.

"I got eyes on me for taking a thug -- that's what people are saying," Nutt told Masoli according to the Clarion-Ledger. "You've got to be able to handle it and be a positive kid."

"The rules are going to be different for him," he said. "I told him I have zero tolerance. I have a hairtrigger. I know he knows I will pull the trigger so fast."
