All that I can think of with Wommack was his inability to adapt to 2015 Arkansas's offense. Sitting the DB's 10-15 yards off the WR or TE, resulting in a 8+ yard gain every play.
That 2014 defense was good in spite of Wommack, not because of him. He coached like he was in his retirement years already in 2015 and 2016. With that said, he is/was light years better than McGriff. Unfortunately, Wommack didn't like recruiting and McGriff apparently feels like it's below him now that he's a DC.
McCready made a good point on a previous podcast. In the SEC West, a coaching staff member needs to be either a) a great coach or b) a great recruiter or c) both. Ole Miss has too many high paid charity cases that are neither (a), (b), or (c). Complete deadweight. Don't be surprised if Cutcliffe 2.0 doesn't make the necessary staff changes. Ole Miss's football staff has a bad case of the dead sea effect. The better elements of the staff leave for other opportunities leaving the deadweight that no one wants to stay here indefinitely.
The lack of momentum behind the program (contrary to Vitter's statement) makes Ole Miss a tough sell. High school kids are dumb and believe that they're better than every other kid that plays their position. They would much rather go to Bama thinking they'll "be the man", pad Bama's depth chart, ride the pine for four years and get a few championship rings, than go to Ole Miss for "immediate playing time".

Wommack was good but only in short spurts. His tenure at Arkansas was the same way. He was good initially, and then kind of fell off once teams figured out how to read his schemes.
Luke is awful. He is an awful HC. I doubt that he has the balls to even get in either coordinator's face, which is what they need. I know that Freeze would have had the balls to put their jobs on the line for performance and they may have turned it around. I know that he only got Longo to add aspects of Longo's air raid offense to Freeze's own offense.
We are not going to magically get better under this staff. It was doomed from the get-go. Luke was a huge mistake.
