That quote, “I don’t hire anybody not brighter than I am. If they’re not smarter than me, I don’t need them.” Matt Luke recently made staff changes to help improve the embattled Rebel football program. His defensive coordinator hire, Mike MacIntyre and offensive coordinator selection of Rich Rodriguez fit Bear’s quote to a T!
Now I’m not saying that Mac and Rich Rod are “smarter’ than Matt as I have no clue what their intelligence level is, but he hired a wealth of experience with two guys who have been head coaches and name coaches of the year.
