One of the first objectives for Mississippi interim coach Matt Luke was finding a new offensive line coach. Luke, who had been the offensive line coach before moving into the interim role, didn’t have to look far for help, receiving a tip from a familiar name around the Ole Miss family.
New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning reached out to Luke and suggested Jack Bicknell Jr., who was hired last week. Ole Miss Spirit reported that Manning heaped praise on Bicknell, a former Giants assistant.
Bicknell also has worked as an NFL assistant for Pittsburgh, Kansas City and Miami.
