If there’s a silver lining in Ole Miss’ embarrassing 55-20 Egg Bowl beatdown—a loss that ensures the Rebels won’t go bowling—its that the disastrous end to the 2016 season will force Hugh Freeze to make overdue changes to a coaching staff that’s shown weaknesses for years.
Sources have told Ben Garrett of The Ole Miss Spirit that co-offensive coordinators Dan Werner and Matt Luke are the only locks to return next season, with running backs coach Derrick Nix and receivers coach Grant Heard also looking safe.
Everyone else should be touching up their resumes.
Freeze has long placed heavy importance on loyalty and continuity among his team of assistants.
