Another name has surfaced for the vacant Kansas head coaching job created last week when Mark Mangino resigned.

The Kansas City Star is reporting that Mississippi coach Houston Nutt has met with Kansas athletic director Lew Perkins about the job.

Nutt, 52, would provide a splash if he was hired by Kansas. In 12 seasons as a head coach -- 10 at Arkansas and two at Mississippi -- Nutt has posted a 92-56 record and been a three-time SEC coach of the year. He makes $2.5 million per season, which would put his contract slightly ahead of Mangino's $2.3 million contract.

Nutt was offered the Nebraska job after the 2003 season while coaching at Arkansas before the Cornhuskers opted for Bill Callahan.

Several media outlets have reported that Perkins will meet with Buffalo coach Turner Gill sometime in the next several days.
