If Matt Luke doesn't get a show cause, I think he's the guy at about $2M. They're going to be in real budget mode when these sanctions come down.

if they start him out at $2 MM, they're bigger morons than I ever thought. He's a 1.2 guy, at MOST. If they paid him $2 MM, it would be simply for their ego and appearance.

Just have a Mark Mangino vs Matt Luke sumo wrestling match and give the job to whomever wins.

My prediction is that eventually they wind up with Hopson from USM. He'll probably be the guy after the "probation guy", unless they decide they want to go ahead and lock him up by giving him a huge buyout to provide incentive for riding out the probation years. But, unfortunately, he will probably do a good job for them. And also, he played for OM under Brewer, so I think we all know why he'd be a potential candidate.

Which is precisely why they will pay him $2MM. They threw up some metal garbage to bowl in their stadium just because we had a higher capacity.

I imagine that talk will heat up if USM were to beat UK week 1 in Hattiesburg. That being said, we underachieved a bit last year. Predicted to win CUSA and finished 7-6.

If OM hired him, it'd probably mean we had a 9-10 win season, so I wouldn't be too pissed.

They bumped him to 1.3 for this season. I predict they will keep him through the probation years, then make their hire at the tail end of it in order to give the next guy some chance to succeed.

Hiring your coach of the future at the front end of a protracted probation period would be stupid, but they are ole miss.

$1.150 MM for this season. He was at $550 K last season. They gave him a $600 K raise for the promotion to interim until December.

I know for a fact that Hal Mumme is in Oxford, MS, right now. He bummed a cigarette from me last night.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

Pirates and Air Raid, baby! And a 400 lb quarterback

Barry Odom is the lowest paid head coach in the SEC at $2.35M. No one else is under $3M. We will never see a permanent SEC head coach make less than $2M again.

You made my point. Luke isn't sec head coach material. Having said that, I hope they lock him up for 4 yrs

Ole Miss is dropping to NAIA and Mumme wants them to schedule a home-and-home with Belhaven?

At least that's what Mutt might say...

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

He was recruiting all your future transfers

The equivalent of breaking a mirror while a black cat walks under a ladder.

 

[The Peeper]

Means you gave a cigarette to a coach who is 6-25 in his last 3 yrs of coaching @ Belhaven and was 11-38 before that at N Mexico St and 28-16 @ D2 McMurry. He may not be able to afford his own stogies

 

[SedLexDuraLex]

$1.2 million should keep Luke supplied with all the raw cookie dough and Jaegermeister he can consume. Seriously, that is an unhealthy looking guy.. 280 pound Gomer Pyle with signs of substance abuse.

 

[patdog]

And you missed mine. They're not going to keep him on because he's head coaching material. They're going to keep him on because they're going to be in such a budget crush from sanctions they're going to have to pay bare minimum (which is about $2M these days) and they aren't going to be able to attract any candidates much better without more than doubling that salary.

Wait they replaced those rectangular metal bleachers with bigger semi circled metal bleachers?
