Ole Miss football announced Matt Lindsey as the program’s first general manager in March. While the average college football fan may not know his name, the Tuscaloosa, Ala. native is considered one of the nation’s rising stars behind the scenes and was a splash hire for first-year head coach Lane Kiffin. It’s important to understand what a big deal it was.
Who is Matt Lindsey?
Lindsey began his football career as a weight room intern under Scott Cochran at Alabama in 2009. When his day was done on the strength and conditioning side of things, he would wander upstairs to see if Ed Marynowitz, the Tide’s director of player personnel, needed any help.
