Keeping a coach just because he lucked into an Egg Bowl win in Starkville didn’t work out for them? I, for one, am shocked.
Once again, we are little brother. ***** ass administration
Hiring Mike Norvell is what they are saying.
No doubt.Quote:

But we beat a team that just fired their coach. Memories, y'all!!!***Quote:

Unbelievable. We entered 2016 with a very good coach, a solid program, a good culture, and OM was under serious NCAA investigations, had a coach that was about to get fired, was about to hire a joke of a coach themselves, and about to string together several bad classes.
We enter 2019 with OM having just as good of a team and (probably) a FAR better coach who will immediately make OM better than us.
Complete failure to capitalize. Unbelievable how a bad hire and the failure to replace him when we should will mean we play catchup as a program with 17ing OM. They went 7-5, 6-6, 7-5, and 4-8, had NCAA restrictions on them, several horrible classes in a row, and they're going to be better than us with less culture problems than we will by opening day kickoff next year.
we our 17'd
They will upgrade their HC situation while we keep the “offensive genius” another year.
Guess they take winning more seriously.
They kept him 4 seasons. Two for beating us in 2017.Quote:

Hey, I’m one of the ones pissed at our AD. But they just fired Luke for losing to state, and only hired Luke because he won the 2017 egg bowl. None of that can be denied.Quote:

I'd much rather they get Harsin than norvell
Oh well. I’m trying not to care anymore. It’s hard.Quote:

This. Everyone knew Luke was a dead man walking. As soon as their admin felt a better coach was possible, they were firing him. Guess they've got a deal with someone they think is better.Quote:

This is not good news for us, Luke was a joke. He was getting fired next year after going 4-8 or worse.
He should have been easy to recruit against, they could hire someone with a pulse.
Now they could still blow the hire, but there are some solid options out there right now, and they are only competing with Ark and Missouri.
between Norvell, Kiffin, and Napier 1 of the 3 will have no other offers and take the $3.8M a year they offerQuote:

That's not exactly a high bar, apparently. I thought he sucked, and he did, but I'd take him over Spineless Bastard right now.Quote:
