I don't know where this theory comes from but nothing could be farther from the truth. Do you have any guesses why Freeze did not get rid of Luke when year after year, our OL sucked? Hell, I would even go so far as to state that in 2015, had we had a different OL coach, we would have probably won the national championship. Luke is a golden boy. He is the coach that they chose to stay here for at least 5 years. We are stuck with his fat arse. He still is not recruiting any defensive players. This will only get worse and worse. We are back at rock bottom.

I don't want to act like I'm some super insider because I'm not, but there is a lot of truth to this. There are a lot of people on campus, particularly those from Mississippi, who love Luke so much that I am not sure will ever give up on him. All I hear whenever I mention that he is clearly not an SEC-level coach is "One of us," and "Player's coach."

Player's coach has always been a demonstrable fallacy. There have been endless college football teams who had coaches they loved to pieces and never won squat. And one need only look at Alabama's dark ages for about a decade pre-Saban to see what an obsession with "One of Us" gets you.

However, I'm not sure that unless there is some pretty sustained pushback that Luke is going anywhere no matter how poorly this season or the next goes.
