A number of Ole Miss football players don’t seem thrilled that head coach Matt Luke was fired Sunday night. According to Nick Suss of the Mississippi Clarion Ledger, a number of Rebels “stormed out” of the meeting in which Athletics director Keith Carter delivered the news to the team.
Some were seniors, but others were reportedly players with eligibility remaining, including running back Jerrion Ealy and defensive end Tariqious Tisdale.
After the meeting, junior offensive lineman Chandler Tuitt said that “half the team” is talking about leaving, adding that if the entire coaching staff is dismissed he doesn’t think many players will stay with the program.
