Kermit Davis fired after five seasons with Ole Miss

Ole Miss has officially parted ways with men’s basketball head coach Kermit Davis after five seasons with the team, Vice Chancellor of Intercollegiate Athletics Keith Carter announced on Friday morning.

“We thank Coach Davis for his dedication to the Ole Miss basketball program and our student-athletes,” Carter said in a statement. “No one wanted to bring a title home to Mississippi more than him, and we appreciate the passion for that goal that he shared with our team every day.”

Davis arrived at Ole Miss during the 2018-2019 season in which his team garnered a 20-13 record and found themselves playing in the NCAA tournament.
