Excitement has built around the recent hires made my Ole Miss football head coach Matt Luke and understandably so. After a dismal 2018 season there were a couple of immediate staff changes and/or vacancies which Matt Luke was looking to fill. After the departures of both Wesley McGriff and Phil Longo diehard Rebels fans were keeping their fingers crossed about who might be the replacements for both positions.
Enter coaches Mike MacIntyre and Rich Rodriguez who were hired by Luke shortly after the 2018 season. Both coaches were former Power-5 head coaches and both were tabbed with national Coach of the Year honors during their tenures as head coaches.
