Report: Ole Miss Fires Head Coach Matt Luke Following 4–8 Season

Ole Miss has fired head coach Matt Luke, according to Rebel Grove’s Neal McCready.

Luke took over for Hugh Freeze in 2017 after Freeze was forced to resign, and finished just 6–6 in his first season before being named permanent head coach.

In his ensuing two seasons in Oxford, Luke won only nine combined games.

Luke’s final loss with the Rebels might have been one of his most embarrassing. Last Thursday against Mississippi State, wide receiver Elijah Moore caught a touchdown with four seconds remaining, but received a personal foul penalty for miming a dog peeing in the end zone.
