shabby 1,956 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I feel like our offensive line next year will determine whether we have a let down season or contend. I'm definitely hoping a change is made but highly doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was having dinner in Lubbock while recruiting for Texas Tech. Of course, there is no good way to get fired. The story was told by the players themselves. He walked out when he accepted the Cincinnati job, didn't wrap up the meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SumterAubie 3,031 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 This guy was Oline coach for David Cutcliff. That is a strong endorsement. If I'm Malzahn, I'm calling him yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevenlee36 1,654 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I disagree I think he did a good job for the crap situation he was left with. Then again they fired O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes those divorces are really brutal. Think it was to leave Tech for Cincy........Tubs told his Ole Miss team he was not leaving with one foot out the door heading to Auburn.

Sizzle 3,909 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I think they made a mistake. He had to clean up the mess Freeze left. Luke was bringing in decent recruiting classes too but........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's about the same thing that was happening with Gus isn't it? I guess Gus got lucky with the Bama win. Or maybe I just spend too much time reading these posts.

CameronCrazy 1,058 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I’m on board with this hire - I remember the OL at Ole Miss being pretty good while he was OL coach. He also coached, and I imagine helped recruit, Laremy Tunsil and Greg Little. We need a OL coach that can develop and recruit. Gus should be able to make a quick phone call to his buddy Hugh Freeze to find out if this would be a good hire or not. I’m curious to see if anyone has anything negative to say about Gus making this hire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly, I'm shocked at all the surprise I've read and heard in reaction to his firing. Luke was Ole Miss' version of Mike Shula...a place keeper during probation.
