Ole Miss Football Staff - Who Stays and Who Goes (UPDATED 1/24/20)

In this thread we can put Ole Miss football staff hires and fires.  Lets try to stick to valid information, but rumors are good and should be confirmed.  If you have information from other boards, post it here.

It will be interesting to see who Kiffin hires for his staff.  There is no doubt that he has good connections in the football world.  We can only hope that Ole Miss does not run interference and force coaches on his staff or tell him that he must keep certain coaches.

Re: Ole Miss Football Staff - Who Stays and Who Goes (UPDATED 1/24/20)

Thanks for the update - From Ellisvillereb:

Sources tell FootballScoop Lane Kiffin’s first staff hire at Ole Miss will be Wilson Love, his strength coach at Florida Atlantic. Kiffin publicly credits Love with much of their success at FAU.

Love played at Alabama, and then immediately took a graduate assistant position on Nick Saban’s staff for the 2014 season. That season he worked with the defensive line.

Love moved to the strength staff for the 2015 season serving as an assistant to Scott Cochran for the 2015-16 seasons. Love caught the attention of Kiffin at practice while he went around without a helmet head-butting defensive lineman, who, of course, had their helmets on.


He then followed Lane to FAU in December of 2016 as his head strength coach.

We expect a number of hires for Kiffin’s staff to be made the next few days as he meets with Matt Luke’s staff and makes some local decisions. Sources tell FootballScoop Kiffin is expected to retain Derrick Nix and potentially others.

Re: Ole Miss Football Staff - Who Stays and Who Goes (UPDATED 1/24/20)

Ex-Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez not expected to be retained by Ole Miss following Lane Kiffin hire

After serving one season in the box as Ole Miss's offensive coordinator, Rich Rodriguez is a free agent again. Following Ole Miss hiring Florida Atlantic head coach Lane Kiffin for the same position, the former Arizona coach isn't expected to return as the Rebels' play-caller for 2020, per Sports Illustrated's Ross Dellenger. 

Ole Miss fired head coach Matt Luke after two seasons last Sunday. 

Rodriguez became one of the highest-paid assistant coaches last New Year's Eve, nearly a year after he was fired at Arizona, and signed a three-year contract worth $2.7 million giving him an annual salary of roughly $900,000. Rodriguez still has about $1.8 million left on his contract.

Former Arizona running backs coach Calvin Magee was a longtime assistant under Rodriguez and joined Luke's staff as a tight ends coach this season. It's unclear if Magee will be retained by Kiffin. Ole Miss will reportedly keep defensive coordinator and former Colorado head coach Mike Macintyre, per the Oxford Eagle. 

Ole Miss went 4-8 this season, but the Rodriguez-coached offense finished as the 29th-best team in total offense and No. 12 in rushing yards in FBS.

Re: Ole Miss Football Staff - Who Stays and Who Goes (UPDATED 1/24/20)

Do you think Kiffin will fire Tom (Daddy) & Tommy (Brother) Luke?  It would be good to see them gone.  No one really know was Poppa Luke contributed and they are unsure what Brother Luke did positive for the program.

I see Tisdalle and Gregory have flipped back to us on the portal. Gregory is who caught Tisdales pass vs Bama.

I don’t think just loving Ole Miss is going to keep anyone employed or get anyone hired.

They just replace the RB coach and are talking about an "auxiliary " job for Derrick Nix because he recruits MS so well.

Fire Tommy Luke and give Derrick Nix his job.
