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.

EXACTLY!!!!

We have to fire Luke! Anyone holding any hope to him please explain why.

I'll play devils advocate here and I am not wanting to keep Luke but there is a solid argument to be made on is behalf. The argument is this; he was forced to mantain both OC and DC. Had I been in his shoes at the end of last year I would have demanded a change for both and if I was denied I damn sure would have let that "leak" out that they were on the hot seat and they weren't my first choices! Now they better crap or get off the pot. Alas Luke did not do that and that good argumnet now becomes the argument against him! We don't know if what was even discussed but upon Lukes taking the job he could have even negotiated his own contract for less money if he could have gotten his OC and DC, he didn't do that so his contract is about his love of Ole Miss, just like a prostitute loves a John! Harsh but true his love of Ole Miss is tied to a huge buy out! If not prove it and resign!

That's my two cents.
