Henry I’m curious to get your take on this; do you think since next year is the 4th and final year of Luke’s contract (and therefore could be make or break for earning an extension) that he’ll pull out all the stops, get it together and stitch together a respectable season? Trust me, I’m as irritated as the next OM fan but there are a lot of things about this team that one could argue they’re on the brink of a breakout year. Or that I’m delusional

The one thing I've complimented Luke on this year is the team hasn't quit. If these freshmen continue to develop and lead like they have been while we recruit at a decent level, we could pull out 6-7 wins next year with an "upset" over an Auburn or Florida.

My biggest concern is if this is more Luke's coaching ability improving or his assistants. I tend to think it's the latter

You wish.

When Ole Miss athletics director Ross Bjork left Oxford for Texas A&M earlier this year, he left behind one of the most coach-friendly contracts in college football.Luke, a Mississippi native and former Ole Miss offensive lineman (and longtime assistant coach), received a starting salary of $3 million for 2018, which increases by $100,000 in each of the four years:

2018: $3 million
2019: $3.1 million
2020: $3.2 million
2021: $3.3 million

If we don't have the stones to fire him after the eggbowl, we better do it at the end (or middle) of 2020. I say we do it when we open 1-4 next year.
