The COVID-19 pandemic is not ideal for any college football program, but for Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin and his staff, the challenges have been amplified.
A first-year staff that is hired and finalized in December and January, during a normal year, would have the spring to meet with their players, begin to install a new system during practices and see where things stand with a spring scrimmage.
None of that happened this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but what also did not happen was the opportunity for Kiffin to get to know his players off the field.
