What Are the Odds Matt Luke Gets the OM Job?
Just thinking about this.
Ole Miss will go through a coaching search and, with all the open jobs + Ole Miss' sanctions, I just think they will be so far down the pecking order of coaching destinations that their best move will be to give Luke a 3 year, 1.5 mil per year deal, and let him guide them through probation.
Seriously, with where they will be picking in the coaching pecking order, why get yourself into a long term relationship with a coach you really weren't crazy about getting in the first place? After 3 years, Luke may turn into a decent coach and, if not, your job will be more desirable.
With Luke, I see a coach that wants to be there, runs Freeze's offense which works for them, and gets that team to play hard. The odds of OM's 5th choice of head coach being able to do all that is next to nothing.
Odd topic, but OM will go through a coaching search, as they should & I think Matt Luke should be their guy.

If he wins out then he's got the job.

This or Croom. If they want a big name coach they are going to have to give the guy a minimum 8 year contract and total control over the program. That isn't happening. Either Luke or dig up Vaught and Bruiser. However if they name Luke the faithful will revolt.

Torbush is out of coaching and doubt Nutt would take it. I’m calling 87%

More than likely, Frank Wilson.

So they are trying to get the NCAA back on campus?

Wilson and Bucky from the same Coach O 'learn how to cheat school.'
Coach34 .. "We're not hiring the ****ing Pirate at Miss State. GTFO"

Chizik may talk his way into it. The way he's been blowing them lately on SECN it seems pretty obvious.

If everyone turns them down and Luke gets no show cause odds are in his favor. Hopson would probably take it tho.

If offered, I would imagine Hopson would take it. Former OM player and coach, coaching inthe SEC, and the huge difference in salary from what USM pays.

If Luke's recruiting were better this year then I believe he would have the inside shot. We all know how much they care about recruiting. Because of that, I believe Frank Wilson will end up there. He is a great recruiter whether he can coach or not. I believe they will think that they are not going to win a lot the next few years anyway so they might as well hire a coach who will leave a talented group for the next coach.

How could anyone possibly recruit under their current circumstances?
Wilson may or may not be a great recruiter but he's a cheater. He would put them right back in front of the COI. Would be a terrible hire IMO

You nailed it. the only way they will be able to recruit is with a great recruiter (cheater). Wilson fits that profile. Even after all their NCAA problems, they believe it was incompetence at cheating that got them caught (and evil Dan Mullen). So they believe they can just be more careful with a Wilson and come out ahead in the long run.
