More from All for Tennessee

Matt Luke

Ole Miss Rebels

6-6 Overall Record

0-0 Bowl Record

Matt Luke has been an Ole Miss guy basically his whole life. So, the story of him becoming the head coach is like a storybook you read to your kids. However, the ending won’t be so good.

The key to having success in Oxford is to stay as far away from escort services as possible. Just ask Hugh Freeze, it’s not worth it.

Maybe the grade of a D is a tad low. Somehow, the Rebels rank 15th in the 2019 recruiting rankings. Man those escorts really pay off, don’t they?

Jeremy Pruitt

Tennessee Volunteers

0-0 Overall Record

0-0 Bowl Record

I know Vol fans, I know a grade of a D is too low. However, Pruitt is only ranked this low due to never being a head coach. Do I think he is as lame as Mason or Luke? Absolutely not, but he is going to have to prove it this season.

As incompetent as Butch Jones was, he didn’t leave the cupboard bare. There is some talent on Rocky Top and Pruitt might be the guy to turn things around. He has a chance to turn the laughing stock of the SEC into the powerhouse it once was in the 80s and 90s.
