The Ole Miss football program is in a unique situation.
As the Rebels await the final verdict in a yearslong NCAA scandal, they are also in the business of finding a new head coach. Former play-caller Hugh Freeze resigned from the program in July, following a “pattern of personal misconduct,” which included using a university-issued phone to call a number associated with an escort service. Although Ole Miss’ football program lacks stability at the moment, athletic director Ross Bjork said he believes the university can still attract the right man for job.
“What I’ve sold is resources, a beautiful place (and) a university that’s surging in many areas,” Bjork said.
