Houston Nutt quit on the job and still got another year. He may’ve clearly been a more capable coach, but 2010-11 is worse than anything Luke has put out and was done such with way less effort spent by the HC on the team than Luke has spent. Nutt, out of his own refusal to do his job, cratered our program to such a point that he’s been jobless since. Are his peaks higher than Matt Luke’s? Unquestionably. But at least I’ll give Luke credit for trying and sucking, which is more than I can say about Hootie Dale in his final two seasons.

But yeah HJJ is bitching about Luke just to bitch, again. Not to mention he’s ignoring the fact that Matt Luke’s two terrible assistants were Freeze hires and incapable of being fired because of the salaries and buyouts Freeze helped guarantee for them.

No one here likes Luke, but we should unquestionably have better coordinators this year, and ideally we have a new AD by October so we can start a proper coaching search in November. Rooting against the program is some of the most bullshite, nonsensical, pissant shite though

Not true and Luke even admitted that he was scared to fire them after they went 6-6

It’s pretty well known that Luke wanted to fire McGriff before last season, and Bjork wouldn’t let him until after the season, when he was then fired pretty immediately and replaced with someone more qualified to be our HC than our current HC.

I can understand why he gave Longo another shot because the numbers were solid enough until you started to see between the lines. It wasn’t unreasonable to hope and expect that the red zone offense would improve last year though, especially this time a year ago. But yeah it’s just too simple of an offense to work in the SEC, and it certainly had trouble outscoring whatever gaudy numbers were being hung on our pitiful defense, or lack thereof

I don't think this is well known at all or even agreed upon. You're taking Internet rumors as fact.

He destroyed Michigan and Arizona. Why do you think he is a good coach? That's like marrying your friend's ex wife. It's just not going to work and deep down you know it.

He was decent at Arizona. He got fired for sexual harassment though. That's why I wasn't too crazy about us hiring him

Same.
If we hire him after firing Freeze for something that was not near as bad, I'll lose it.

He was last in the SECW in recruiting this year and he had a losing season coaching. Yes, he sucks. Getting one guy's commitment does not change that at all.

Not to mention that he just had two LBs transfer out. Wow, Luke is really stellar.
