Rebels “part ways” with defensive line coach Deke Adams

Lane Kiffin is already making changes to his coaching staff before his inuagural season at Ole Miss is complete.

On Tuesday, it was announced that Kiffin decided to move in a different direction with his defense and fired defensive line coach Deke Adams after less than one full season.

“We have agreed to part ways with Coach Adams,” a statement from Kiffin read. “We thank him for his contributions to our program and wish him the best in his future endeavors.”

Ole Miss had the worst defense in the FBS during the regular season. The Rebels allowed opponents to average 535.
