Buy or sell: Luke was fired because the piss incident went international

[starkvegasdawg]

I thought I read just a week or two ago they extended him, but then after the piss became an international embarrassment that shook their fake narrative up having so much class and culture they had to do something and firing Luke was it.

[Mjoelner34]

Strong buy. Two weeks ago they didnt have the buyout money.

[Rex54]

Sell. He was fired because their window of opportunity opened up a year early with Moorhead remaining our head coach.

[Saltydog]

I think that was probably a large part of it. Combine that with poor record and it made it perfect time to cut ties.

[lefty96]

Buy, it was the straw that broke the camel's back.

[msstatelp1]

Sell. You don't pay $15+M to get rid of the whole staff as a punishment. If it's given as an excuse it's just for convenience as a reason to make a wholesale change.

[parabrave]

100% buy. It was Hookers for Freeze and Moore being on the front page of every newspaper, website and sportscenter that got Luke. Most probably the final straw.

[Dawgology]

Buy. Their fake narrative is EVERYTHING to that school. With the hike of one leg that was all blown to hell and they know it. They will forever be known as "the school with the pissing football player" by the vast majority of the world now.

[Fred Garvin]

Strong buy. They've been taking too many image hits.

[TrapGame]

Buy. It made it so much easier to can his sorry ass.

Buy all day. Perception is everything to that bunch.

They can't stand being ridiculed. Losing yes, ridicule no. They are like roaches when the lights come on when their warts are exposed.

[Liverpooldawg]

HUGE buy. They CARE about the perception outsiders have of them perhaps more than anything. They can't stand to be laughed at outside the state of Mississippi. There are people world wide who had never heard of them before that have now. It's killing them. I have never seen their fans so quiet, even after we have beaten them in previous years.

[Jack Lambert]

That is what happened.

[basedog]

He was fired for being 6-18 in the Sec. that is an average of two win per season.

[yjnkdawg]

Buy. THe OM coaching staff was supposed to not let something like this happen. The players were supposed to be schooled on not doing any type of celebration or other words anything stupid. This was the the second time (Metcallf) this had happened under Luke's purview, and OM did not want anything negative to happen in this year's Egg Bowl by their coaches or players. Then Moore's stupid act went world wide with negative publicity and boom!

[nsvltndog]

So if we had properly defended 4th and 24 and won 21-14 instead of 21-20 Luke would still be their head coach today.

I think he would be. The Piss and the Miss was the final straw, without it he would still be smelling farts in Oxford.

[Todd4State]

Buy but I would add that I think the half hearted apology where he didn't apologize to MSU was the last shred on the final straw.

I think Sankey was serious about toning down the Egg Bowl "toxicity" and we did our part. Ole Miss did until the last minute.

[Coursesuper]

Sell, but it is a convenient excuse for a change from what they saw as a place holder.

But if that's the case why announce that he is staying a week or two before the Egg Bowl?
