The 2016 Ole Miss football season was a rough one defensively. We watched huge leads whittled away early in the season and then the wheels came off. By the end of the season we were badly decimated by injuries and lack of depth and it was apparent in a final record of 5-7.
By the end of the season there were already rumblings from fans about staff changes and there was. When the dust settled and the new staff had been hired, enter coach Wesley ‘Crimedawg‘ McGriff. Of course, many Ole Miss football fans recognized the name of McGriff since he was previously on staff at Ole Miss.
