The Ole Miss Rebels announced Sunday they removed the interim tag from head football coach Matt Luke and named him the permanent replacement for Hugh Freeze.
Ole Miss went 6-6 in 2017 and finished the regular season with a 31-28 victory over the Mississippi State Bulldogs in the Egg Bowl on Thanksgiving night.
According to the Clarion Ledger's Antonio Morales, Ole Miss used Turnkey Search to help identify a head coach. The firm worked with the LSU Tigers last year when they decided to make Ed Orgeron the full-time head coach after he filled in for Les Miles on an interim basis.
