Ole Miss interim coach Matt Luke said Monday that he found out about his new role last Thursday at about 4 p.m., a few hours before Hugh Freeze’s shocking resignation was made public. Now, Luke says, he’s just waiting for the start of fall camp.
“I can truly tell y’all that this is my dream job,” Luke said Monday at a news conference officially introducing him as the interim coach. “It’s a job that I’ve been preparing my whole life for. I feel more strongly now than ever that I’m the right man to run this program.
