Per Twitter. Didn't see this coming. Anyone know the story? All I see is he is "stepping aside".

Per TnD insider, there had been some squabbling between Monk and Luke in the past, but was supposedly ameliorated, but maybe not?

Per Rusty, according to TnD, Luke just wants to spend more time with family, and family will be staying in Athens, which is also weird. I hope he doesn't have cancer or something.

Reading some comments from bleacher report some are saying to avoid a scandal brewing or something

The ole "spend more time with my family" thing generally does not wash.

Problems in the coaching staff or something. Why not right after the NCG?? What has changed in the last 40 days??

Something smells about this, imo.

I think Arch going elsewhere at least had anlittle to do with it. I think that was a big part of his coming here to begin with. That and recruiting olineman is a real niche to get the 5 stars to come...

Dont really care as we should be more than fine at qb moving forward.

Those buyout clauses typically require you to at least search for commensurate work. Ed O's was different, as was Richt's, but that's not the norm.

Hunch that it really is down to two. Luke has at Arch's basketball game a few weekends ago with GA guys and now he has resigned...

I would take the $950k and retire next year....

Millions dont just come around and the olemiss buyout will end.

Kirby did kind of predict this scenario. Not sure if this is the case with Luke or not, but plausible.

Makes sense to me.

With NIL and the portal etc, it’s getting to where you almost have to be a psychopath to get into the college coaching profession. So who can blame him?

I’m glad there’s psychopaths like Kirby out there that want to endure it because I still love the sport (for now), but I can’t relate. To me, the goal has always been to work as hard as you can so that you can work less and less as time goes on. To me, the money college coaches make isn’t worth the time they put in. I’ll never understand it.

Interesting take. If only someone else had linked in this thread a Kirby interview that said the same thing

You pulled this same attention-whore stunt last month when someone posted something you had already said.

I don’t read every post or click all links. I’ll take your word for it that you posted video of Kirby calling himself a psychopath and describing how he can’t believe there’s broken people that want do what he does 24/7 365 for vanity and trophies
