There's plenty of blame to go around. McGriff took our defense from bad in 2016 to horrible in 2017.

Longo's offense was either completely ineffective, or effective for the first half and all teams made adjustments at halftime that shut the offense down.

We made no adjustments at halftime on either side of the ball it seemed, while every team we played made adjustments.

The complete lack of discipline, team looking unprepared most of the time, terrible clock management etc I put on Luke. I would probably be less mad about the hire if Luke atleast looked like he knew what he was doing. The entire season he stood on the sidelines with a goofy look on his face and didn't seem to communicating with anybody.

And by hiring Luke I imagine we either keep Longo and McGriff, who are terrible, or he will bring in some of his old ole miss buddies instead of hiring good coordinators.

Okay I was just wanting to make sure.

Well to be fair I can't argue against that at all and quite frankly agree with your assessment. Now the question is can he get better? I hope/guess he can

Would you feel differently if he was able to actually get pretty decent coordinators to come to Ole Miss in lieu of our current circumstances?
