Hugh Freeze’s longtime defensive coordinator Dave Wommack announced that he will retire after the 2016 season, Ole Miss Sports reported on Saturday before the Rebels’ Egg Bowl bout with Mississippi State.
Wommack has been head man of the Landsharks since Freeze took command of the ship in 2012, and his 2014 unit led all of college football in defensive points scored per game, averaging 16.0 an outing. The Landsharks also allowed the fewest touchdowns that year with just 24, and led the SEC in interceptions with 22, forced turnovers with 32, and third-down conversion rate with 33 percent.
