It didn’t take long for the rumor mill to start churning after the Florida Gators were embarrassed last Saturday by the Georgia Bulldogs to the tune of 42-7. And the proverbial mill churned out some grade A pasteurized rumor butter quick, fast, and in a hurry.

Jim McElwain was let go as head coach Sunday afternoon, as first reported by FootballScoop.com, which sent the college football coaching search world into quite the shit storm. The reason behind McElwain’s firing is not important here; what is quite imperative as far as Ole Miss fans go is how this affects the Rebs’ own coaching search that has essentially been going on since July.
