It’s been a rough few years for former New England Patriots assistant Joe Judge, who reportedly continued his slide down the coaching ladder Wednesday.

He’s headed back to school.

Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin has added Judge to his coaching staff, according to Zach Berry of On3. It’s a return to the SEC for Judge, who got his coaching start as an analyst and special teams assistant under then-head coach Nick Saban at Alabama from 2009-2011.

Judge parlayed his success with the Crimson Tide into a job with Bill Belichick and the Patriots, joining New England in 2012 and eventually winning three Super Bowls with the organization.
