I'm not sure why we listen to you at all. Your hatred for Luke seems personal. No one on Earth is winning with the team we have returning next season. It's just not happening.

How can you see improvement at 4-8? Essentially the way Tennessee passed the eye test at 5-7. They got killed a few games but you could at least see that with recruiting they may turn things around.

Luke is in year 2 now. Not year 3. That first year was as dead of a year as anyone could imagine. The guy inherited a load of crap left by Freeze who ironically you continue to defend.

Anyone that knows football knows it takes time to rebuild. It takes even longer if you are in the midst of a bowl ban. The recruiting class last season has turned out fairly impressive all things considered. Make two splash Coordinator hires.

We currently have the #18 class in the country. If Luke can get Dean, flip Turnage, get R. Jones, and maybe Gray at RB with a few more pieces and finish in the top 20 how can ANY OM fan be pissed at that?

Say we go 4-8 but all the games are relatively close and you can see the confidence in the team growing they are just young. He follows up a top 20 class with a top 10 class. What person on Earth would want him gone? You! You would still want him gone because there simply isn't anything he could do that would make you happy.

I'm not saying Luke will do any of this. But rooting against your own team is extremely dumb. It's old. You've beat the horse to death twice.

Dores... Luke inherited infinitely more talent than Freeze did when he got the 2-10 team from Nutt with 30+ players on danger of becoming academically ineligible. Freeze won 7 & 8 games his first two seasons with very little SEC caliber talent. Luke got worse. 6 then 5 games. In my opinion, there is no comparison as Freeze was a much better coach than Luke.

Nutt's defense was just as bad as he left. Luke has been at the helm for 2 seasons and has shown no signs of improving the team in any aspect of the game.

Offense - getting worse
Defense - getting worse
Special Teams - getting worse
Recruiting - worse
On field play - worse

Like I said, with what I have seen of Luke, he could have the all-time NFL all-star team as players and he would still lose.
