I think the beaver will be gone before the 2017 football season begins. With that in mind, who will Ole Miss turn to as interim coach?

Jim Grobe- He did a good job at Baylor and is considered to be a man of high integrity.

Les Miles- He would be a good hire, but I can't see him wanting to touch the program when he can hold out for a better job at the end of this season.

Tommy Tuberville- He may yet end up being buried in Oxford. He did a good job cleaning up the mess after the sanctions under Brewer. However, can he be the coach at OM and run for governor of Alabama at the same time?

Archie Manning- He has never coached a down of football, but he is still worshiped by everyone associated with OM. Could he be installed as a figurehead interim coach in an effort to unite all the factions at OM that will be devouring each other?

John L. Smith- Not a chance in hell after the Arkansas fiasco, but it sure would be fun to watch.

I realize that none of these will probably end up as interim coach, but I listed them just to get the conversation started. Who does the pack believe will be the coach at OM on the opening day of the 2017 football season?

Joe Lee Dunn. He has the proven track record to take a band of cheaters to a near .500 record.

Probably fan favorite Matt Luke. They'll go from wanting to tar and feather him last year to having him wear the big boy pants.

Tuberville was on Out of Bounds a week or so ago. He said that although he is retired, he would enjoy the opportunity to be an interim coach.

I wondered if Bo knew something to ask that question?

You better believe they will want to keep somebody from the current staff. Training a FNG in the ways of the Network is a pain.

I bet ole dude at Southern would take the job, Hopson. And they'd love to stick it to someone smaller than them in the middle of the year just because, well, they can. It would make them feel better I'm sure.

On a serious note it will be Matt Luke. It's why he didn't to to USCe.

It would be awesome if the SEC worked some deal with the NCAA for OM to hire a black coach. That place would implode!

Don't be silly. Everybody knows it'll be Jon Gruden. He's been dyin' to come to UM.
