Matt Luke wouldn't get the opportunity. And neither did Hugh Freeze.
But I'm glad you know things that Matt Luke would hypothetically do, Marty McFly. I need some help with some betting.

Yeah- Hack is wrong on this one. Mullen was going to Tenn until Florida stepped in.
And of course- I was right which is the case more times than not
Stricklin has done 2 great things...1. Go to Florida 2. Hire Mullen to Florida. I can’t be happier. Been wanting Mullen gone for yrs. everyone else finally coming around to it.
Country club crootin tidbit...in the 2011-15 recruiting classes we signed 38 guys that were SEC caliber contributors. That’s 38 in 5 classes. Great work Mullen. ****ing shitbag.
I have to disagree. Dan was never going to be back in Starkville next year, NEVER! Has everybody forgotten how hard Dan pimped himself out after the Belk Bowl, desperate for the HC job at Maryland then Miami, and then hoping and praying for a call from Georgia that never came. Also, Dan?s desperate attempt to escape Post Dak helped kill our recruiting class. Last year?s 6-7 record kept him in Vegas another year but he was going to cash in on this year?s 8-4 team by getting the heck out of dodge and that is just the way it happened. To think Dan was going to sign our extension is foolish, he never was
You could almost see it every year that he would have a good year going and then tank at the end because he was trying to jump ship. The next year he would have a down year and have to prove himself again. If Miami had not opened up when it did then he would have been the head coach at Maryland. I heard a $5 Mil per year number thrown around then. He tried to drag them out like he did us every year but they just said screw it. He actually was able to get UF only because they struck out on 3 or 4 other guys and UF panicked.
The idea of him only leaving for ND or PSU was a fan fable many of us created. He would have left us for Maryland or even UConn if the money had been right. If that bastard had worried more about building the program than building a resume for another job, which would have meant "relentless" recruiting and firing your coaching buds that sucked ass, we'd have beaten Bama more than once in his tenure and probably would have had at last one legit top 10 recruiting class. The way he squandered Dak's Heisman buzz and that #1 season is unforgivable. But, then again he thought he'd be coaching elsewhere when NSD rolled around.
