Ole Miss takes off ‘interim’ tag, names Matt Luke coach

Matt Luke’s work as Ole Miss’ interim coach this season was good enough to earn him the permanent job.

Luke officially had the interim tag removed Sunday after leading the Rebels to a 6-6 mark. He was given the interim title in July when Hugh Freeze was dismissed, and guided the Rebels to a .500 finish despite the specter of looming NCAA sanctions and the loss of starting quarterback Shea Patterson to a knee injury midway through the season.

ANNOUNCEMENT | Matt Luke has been officially named head coach of the Ole Miss Rebels.
