It was reported earlier today Ole Miss basketball head coach Andy Kennedy would be stepping down effective the end of the season. Of course, in 12 seasons coach Andy Kennedy has established himself as the winning-est basketball coach in Ole Miss history. Over that time Kennedy has compiled a 245-154 record and won SEC Coach of the Year honors twice in 2003 and 2007.
When reported on Twitter by Neal McReady there was little surprise from Ole Miss basketball fans at all. There were contract issues which arose prior to this season which led many Ole Miss fans to believe Kennedy’s days in Oxford were numbered.
