Rejoining the Rebs: John David Baker as new OC
Following Lane Kiffin’s departure from Ole Miss Football, along with several of the offensive staff to LSU, the Rebels are bringing back one of their own to serve as offensive coordinator. John David Baker will be rejoining the Ole Miss coaching staff from East Carolina.
Baker will replace Charlie Weis Jr. as offensive coordinator for Ole Miss following the completion of the college football playoffs. Weis, the original offensive coordinator for Ole Miss, will continue to coach the Rebels in the playoffs despite already taking a job at LSU with Kiffin.
