Matt Luke is in an unenviable spot. On one hand, he’s been given his first chance at running a program, at the college game’s highest level no less, at his alma mater. Of course, the reason behind his promotion has caused significantly more headlines than his progression up the ladder in Oxford.
Regardless of how he got the job, Luke issued a strong message to his team his first morning on the job.
“Do everything right. Let them know that we are in this thing together, no matter what,” Luke said. “We’ve seen it all, right?”
Here’s the full exchange via a video published by the official Ole Miss Football Twitter account:
