Matt Luke named Ole Miss head coach
Luke led the Rebels to a 6-6 record this year, capping off the season with a 31-28 upset at then-No. 16 Mississippi State Thanksgiving night in Starkville.
With Ole Miss still awaiting its sanctions from the NCAA, Coach Luke will now be the man to take the reins and help the beleaguered program as it works to recover from what has been a very challenging time that included a self-imposed bowl ban for the 2016 season and reduction in scholarships.
