That would not be a good scenario period.

My concerns about Luke. Can he recruit--especially defensive talent--at the level we need to move the program forward into the future? Does he have the connections to hire a really capable OC and DC? I don't know. There is an awful lot of smoke around that if Luke beats A&M and MSU, the job is his for the taking.

TAMU and MSU are both good at running the ball -- which we can't stop....I'm not sure we'll even split those games.

Luke is a good guy, but he is not a good coach. Unfortunately, Ole Miss tends to mostly make bad decisions, and hiring Luke as full time HC might not be a good choice, especially when other more qualified coaches are available.
Look at other SEC schools who are filling coaching vacancies. These schools appear to be focusing on quality candidates who have a good coaching background. They want to focus on winning and success in their programs.
If Luke is hire, get ready for mediocre seasons with an occasional Ole Miss upset. It is just hard to for most Ole Miss fans to realize that Ole Miss just does not seem to want to be a champion and a winner. Hey, but don't forget, Ole Miss always wins the party!!!

Matt Luke will NOT be HC of Ole Miss next year, period.
My; best guesses:
Tennessee: Gary Patterson/Fuente
Florida: Chip Kelly/Scott Frist
Ole Miss: Charlie Strong/Frank Wilson/Chad Morris
Texas A&M: Chad Morris/Jimbo Fisher
Arkansas: Bert is staying put (something tells me he isn't getting fired just yet)
Most likely, I'm not even close to guessing right. lol

I hope like heck ark hangs on to bert. I think they know the market is going to be tough this year when looking for a new coach. They are way down the pecking order so adding their needs to a long list is going to be a crap shoot. better to wait until next year IMO

I don't know how reliable this tweet is but we'll see.
@WAOMrecruiting: After what I am hearing don’t expect the NCAA verdict for at least another month. The decision is done and final and sitting and waiting to be released that COI made but NCAA wasn’t happy w decision so is trying to hurt OM by holding it. A big story will be out this week
