Ole Miss football coach Hugh Freeze resigned effectively immediately on Thursday night, with the Rebels' athletic director telling ESPN that university officials found a "troubling" pattern of calls on a university-issued phone to a number associated with a female escort service.
Assistant head coach Matt Luke, in his sixth season as co-offensive coordinator and offensive line coach, has been named interim head coach.
Ole Miss AD Ross Bjork told ESPN that once the university officials dove deeper into Freeze's phone records, going back as far as shortly after he was hired in 2012, they started finding more of a pattern with phone calls of the nature USA Today earlier reported.
