Ole Miss Interim Coach history ..

[BiscuitEater]

FLASHBACK .. 1994, Ole Miss had just gone on probation for major NCAA infractions, fired their Head Coach, and hired an 'Interim Head Coach' .. Joe Lee Dunn. There was a 50/50 split on need to have the 'interim' removed so that recruits would know 'who' they were going to play for .. and 50% wanting to hire a 'not Ole Miss' coach. OM struggled to a 4-7 season and they hired the Defensive Coordinator at Texas A&M .. Tommy Tuberville. JLD went to be the DC at Arkansas for one year before being hired as DC by Jackie Sherrill, where he excelled from 1996 - 2002.

We sure as hell ain't hiring Fatt Luke, no way, no how.

Wasn't Tuberville the HC at SMU?

ETA: apparently not. Don't know where I got that from but I would have lost money if someone had bet me.

You might be thinking of Bobby Collins from USM who went to SMU (and a State grad).
