This thread's got potential.

Looking forward to the usual witty responses!

I like the work schedule. Monday-Friday with some evenings and weekends? Yeah, right.

I like how they don’t include “winning football games” anywhere in the job responsibilities section.

Realistic expectations — the key to happiness.

6-6. Exceeding Expectations. Apply early and often.

Ok so Freeze messed up but they could have handled it differently and kept him.. as far as the AD, that’s his ship, he should be fired too. It doesn’t matter who they hire as a coach. It’s a shit show and they have 0 talent and that won’t change and if the NCAA imposed a 2 year ban they will lose more good players. The entire program is scrapped and JJ why don’t you investigate the other top people that left their position in the last 6-8 months (within the athletic department) because of sex situations. No names called but if you dig, you will find out. Coach Freeze got a raw deal and some good school will pick him up and he will spank Ole Miss in the coming years. Ole Miss is not a great school anymore, it’s a habitat for left wing liberals.

GTHOM!

That was actually posted Saturday, during the auburn game originally, lots of people buzzing online about it then

"Benefits: 1. No bowl game preparations or distractions for at least years 1 and 2; 2. Limited recruiting schedule years 1-4."

Bulldog fan here, but that is a slap in the face of Matt Luke. He inherited a sh!t storm willingly and after a less than stellar start to the season, with allegations and sanctions looming, they won't rally behind him but seek out someone better. That arrogance is what got them in the preverbal storm to begin with. News flash, there will be no coaches better than Luke interested until the NCAA is finished with Ole Miss.

7:35am "Ole Miss is not a great school anymore, it’s a habitat for left wing liberals." The school was never great, but the left-wing liberal part is right because that's where they "hide" their true selves like the original church going Democrats that founded the Klan. Only in their self-deluded, racist minds was the school created in the wake of the civil war and then, even after the Civil Rights federal MANDATEs, they bred 10 generations of closet racists that think they're better than EVERYBODY because they never capitulated to integration and desegregation (wink, wink, nod, nod). Why do you think Vitter goes out of his way in almost every discussion to emphasize that "Ole'Miss" and "Rebels" will continue to be their mascot and school moniker? He is getting HUGE pressure from the old school alumni to protect it at all costs. They are the last monument to the Confederacy and have brainwashed thousands to believe that "Ole'Miss" is not a racial slur - when it truly is. Rebels? Against what? Equal racial/economic opportunity that's what. How can they say it with a straight face anymore? Finding another mascot (the Fins thing won't last either) will not be that hard, (Vitter by the way just threw everyone a bone so they'd be quiet for now)....a mascot that represents Mississippi and makes no reference to the one thing that keeps it last in every national performance indicator - the corrupt, insecure, alumni from the school's racist/elitist past. All of them. The entire school needs a new identity folks.

MSU graduate here. I agree wholeheartedly with October 10, 2017 at 8:27 AM. The optics of posting the position so close to the Auburn game suggests to the team and coaches that the administration is not in support of Luke. What do any of them have to play for now? Except for a very few who may be draftable in the next year or two? This may be a lengthy slide...

...salary based on coaching experience and department budget. Well that about says it all. The budget will be very limited for the next guy and no one with any real depth in coaching will touch this program with a ten foot pole for a while. Is what it is - dumpster fire.

@8:27 and @8:59 apparently don't understand the meaning of the word interim.

all job openings for employment with the State of Mississippi are required by law to be posted...

8:27 and 8:57 am

Wow.

Let your inner inner bannon go did ya?

The width and breadth of this self inflicted nuclear suicide is hard to quality on paper.

Expect to find a black coach with all black assistants (maybe female) with 3 gay white towel / water boys. Why?

For ole miss to ever recover they have to disgorge 35 plus year old white frat boys from the mix.

Dang, Mississippi State fans, obsessed much?

Nah, Notre Dame fan here.....just living in Mississippi at the moment.....and feeling very sad for what is so very real and sad about how the majority of Mississippians who are being fleeced by the secret society in Oxford/Jackson. It's plain as the nose on anyone's face.....most everybody is afraid to say it.

Is it true Ole Miss is strongly considering Jay Hopson as the next head football coach?

"Obsessed Mississippi State Fans" is the well-worn retort of a forlorn fan base staring into the abyss of irrelevancy. Hey, landshart fans, you can use your ascot as a flag of surrender, if necessary.

It's ALWAYS amusing to read all of the hateful sentiments from the msu faithful aka "little brother". That seems to stick in their craw, but it will never change no matter what Ole Miss aka "The Flag Ship University" in this State is going through.

As times moves on, things just seem to stay the same...

Carry-on...

Usually a "flagship" is leading the way......it clearly says something about Oxford's flagship status when the state is dead last in everything nationally. Not much to be very proud of at all, and no, there is zero leadership that would be found on a flagship.

Aggrieved Suburbanite Blog is at it again: Ole Miss bashing always gets the Rankin sleuths a-clicking.

Anything said positive about Ole Miss sends the Rankin County/Brandon, Mississippi folks absolutely up the wall...you just have to love the "DNA'ed at birth" inferiority complex in these poor, pitiful folk! :D

@9:30 have you looked at the inbred Ole Miss fans that live around Oxford, a suburb of Batesville? You've got Pope, Sardis, Courtland(they've been in the news recently), Enid, and all kinds of Evangelical NE Miss Rattle snake handles sporting the Red and Blue every day. If you think the majority of Ole Miss Fans are Madison/NE JXN folks, you are sadly mistake. Those hillbillies north of 82 make Pearl look like Eastover.

To the over-mortgaged, over-coiffed, under-sexed boat shoe wearer at 9:30:

Two words: Brad Lott.

It's high time Ole Miss hire a black head coach. For the past several years they have been setting the stage for such a momentous occasion and with the Freeze debacle smoldering this could be the an opportunity to close the deal.

I agree...It's high time that Mississippi State (Mullen's record 4-25 record against ranked teams since being HC @ State) and USM also hire black head coaches. This has gone on entirely too long and it is time that this State understands that #BlackLivesMatter too.

When is our legislature going to get involved and FORCE these public Universities to "do the right thing"! Most of us in this State are fed up with Ole Miss, but also just as fed up with Mississippi State and USM acting as if they are on the high road in so far as HCoaching opportunities at the leading Universities in this State. All 3 should be ashamed at what should have happened much too long ago. And MSU fans don't need to bring up the past hiring of Coach Sylvester Croom in this conversation. He was never given a real shot at success at MSU. That hire was just window-dressing for the NCAA so that they would give a lighter penalty to MSU for their cheating ways.

Let's all get behind forcing, by legislative action or any other means, our major Universities to hire black Head Coaches and show this nation that Mississippi is better than all the other States in the US combined!!!
