If you had asked Early July Matt Luke to list what his career goals were, it seems reasonable to assume becoming interim head coach at his alma mater due to his boss resigning over conduct that checks all the boxes for improper, which was discovered by an Ole Miss compliance blogger and relayed to a former head coach suing the school, was most likely not on that list. Yet, roughly one month later, here we are.
Luke, who probably imagined his first shot as a head coach would be finding his footing in a Sun Belt-ish job, is now in charge of an SEC West program coming off a 5-7 season and uncertainty related to the NCAA potentially sending everyone in Oxford to federal prison.
