"Coach Luke is a great coach and knows what disciplined, blue collar and hard-nosed football looks like, and he knows how to get through challenges."

Blue Collar is so off brand for Ole Miss. I don't see how this sells with their fanbase. They are the high flying recruiters that have a brash QB and diva NWOs along with a hard partying fan base. I think the last thing the fans want is a blue collar team. It honestly sounds like a direct copy job of how Dan Mullen marketed MSU.

Wait, so they are salt of the earth grinders now? I'm confused.

If I was Ole Miss I would be worried about my former WR Espy training many of the Ole Miss Commitments. That is setting up to be a bad thing.

Blue collar until things get tough, then they just go back to daddy and collect that check.

MSU has officially flipped the script. When I was at MSU no OM person would ever stoop to refer to themselves as blue collar.

Ole Miss will never be a “blue collar” team. That would indicate that they enjoy working hard for success. That means they would develop a player over 4 years instead of raiding every jr college in nation for their next one and done. Ole Miss has ALWAYS attempted to catch lightening in a bottle by buying their success. They lack the fortitude to do it the right way.

And you better damn well believe that Fatt Luke is trying to pattern his program after us. I think he realizes even though he is a product of the GOB backwards-*** approach to doing things that results in OM repeatedly stepping in their own **** it is not a long-term recipe for success.
