Don't bother.

Were you in a coma for 2016? Did you forget we were 5-7 that year with a better quarterback, defense and overall team?

Uh did you forget that we lost 3 first round draft picks, replaced them all with true freshmen, lost our best DB the first game of the year then lost our quarterback with 4 games left in the season?

1. And yet that team was still far more talented than this team.

2. We lost our best DB first game of the season this year too

3. Chad missed 3 games. We were 4-5 in games chad played in. 1-2 without chad.

4. Luke also lost Shea Patterson but with 5 games to go in the season. Went 3-1 too and had a better record. You’ll justify Hugh losing games without chad but you won’t give Cresit to Luke for winning games after losing Shea.

I’m not even defending Luke here. Just fighting against the freeze apologist.

Well he would not have gotten a chance at a bowl game because of a little thing he got us into so...

In Freeze's 5-7 year, his only losing season in NCAA coaching, he played Bama to the wire and creamed UGA. If you remember, Chad Kelly got hurt and we had to play a true freshman QB. We still beat A&M before losing to Vandy and MSU.

So, even when this team had a bad season under Freeze, they still competed with the big boys. Under Luke, have you seen any competition at all against good teams?

NOPE!

I’m saying he won the same amount of games with a much better team. I don’t see how anybody can just assume he would win a couple more this year with this roster. Especially when you factor in his inexcusable ability to lose games he has no business losing and the team quitting on him in 2016.

He's only had one losing season in his years of coaching NCAA football. I would argue that 5-7 was the exception, plus he had a really shitty O-Line in 2016 and therefore could not run the ball despite trying repeatedly to do so. You have selective and biased memories.

 I seem to recall Luke winning with his backup QB as well due to injury to his starter. Or do you just care to forget that?

I seem to remember Luke kicking a FG at the 1/2 yard line, down by 20, with nothing to lose.

Luke is a gutless dumbfrick, and the fact that you are defending him speaks volumes for the category you'd fit into.

There are HS coaches out there that would have had this team playing better than that lazy fat bastard did.

Sure does come across as you laying out excuses for the shite Luke fielded. If you weren't trying to justify, then my apologies. What we've seen the last two years was the worst HC I have ever seen at this level.

Take someone like Bill Clark (who makes half of what Luke makes) and insert them after last season, and we would have won 7 games this year.

Stop acting like our team was decimated with talent this year. The bowl ban doesn't mean anything. We had a loaded roster on offense... one of the best in the nation and we couldn't score consistently against decent defenses. Our defense was not loaded with talent, but I've seen teams with much worse talent than ours be able to stop some offenses from time to time. We were horrible on both sides of the ball. Yes, Luke is one of the worst coaches to be at Ole Miss, EVER... including Sloan, Orgeron, and Dunn.

Our NCAA penalties were not tough like they were in the post Brewer years, when we were killed by scholarship reductions and honestly didn't have much as far as talent goes prior to that.

Say what you will about Orgeron, but dude recruited lights-out at Ole Miss and even though we lost a lot of games, we went down to the wire with some of the big boys we played. His teams would compete, which is a far cry from where we are under Luke. He had the benefit of a really weak schedule this season.
