Ole Miss shuffles defensive staff with hiring of Cincinnati defensive coordinator Bryan Brown

ZACH BARNETT       1 HOUR AGO

Ole Miss on Friday announced the hire of former Rebel football player Bryan Brown as a senior member of Lane Kiffin's staff, which will necessitate a shuffling of defensive duties.

A native of Corinth, Miss., who played basketball for the Rebels in 2002 before transitioning to football from 2003-06, Brown will be the new co-defensive coordinator and secondary coach, where he'll handle both cornerbacks and safeties.

Texas Southern finally has a head coach

He previously spent the past 12 seasons as a key member of Scott Satterfield's staffs, and the last six as defensive coordinator at Appalachian State, Louisville and Cincinnati. 

"We are excited to add a high-quality coach like Bryan Brown to our staff," Kiffin said. "He has deep Ole Miss roots as a player, and as a coach, he has proven himself multiple times to be one of the top defensive coaches and recruiters in the nation. He has a proven pedigree, and I think it continues to show our commitment to making Ole Miss Football a national program that competes at the highest level on both sides of the ball."

The Ole Miss secondary was coached by Wes Neighbors (safeties) and Keynodo Hudson (corners) last season. Hudson is no longer listed on the Rebels' staff page, while Neighbors has been moved to linebackers. The 2023 season was the first on staff for both coaches. 

Kiffin still has one spot open on his staff following tight ends coach John David Baker landing the East Carolina offensive coordinator job last month. 

The 2023 campaign, Kiffin's fourth at the school, was his best yet; the Rebels went 11-2, losing only to No. 4 Georgia and No. 5 Alabama, and ended the year with a Peach Bowl victory and a No. 9 final ranking -- the program's best finish since 1969. With a bushel of Portal acquisitions and the return of quarterback Jaxson Dart, the Rebels will be expected to reach the 12-team College Football Playoff in 2024.

Fucking Buccees. That place pushes me to the edge of an anxiety attack. The only times I've ever been they are packed, not like Lane's pic above... 

Was in Springfield, MO about 4 weeks ago and wife wanted to see the new one there. People walking everywhere through the parking lot and no one apparently knows that it is poor form to leave your car at the pump after pumping your gas at a busy gas station.

Judge dismisses $40 million lawsuit against Lane Kiffin

Ole Miss defensive tackle DeSanto Rollins sued his head coach for alleged racial and sexual discrimination, and more.

ZACH BARNETT    34 MINUTES AGO

A Mississippi judge on Thursday dismissed a $40 million lawsuit against Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin brought by a former player.

Rebels defensive tackle DeSanto Rollins filed a lawsuit in September alleging denial of equal protection, racial discrimination, sexual discrimination, violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act and more.

U.S. District Judge Michael P. Mills dismissed Rollins’ Americans with Disabilities Act and negligence claims against the school and Kiffin without prejudice, meaning they could be re-filed. The remainder of the case was dismissed with prejudice. 

Rollins, who is Black, says Kiffin discriminated against him on racial and sexual lines after Rollins told Kiffin he was taking a mental health break from the team. The suit argued Kiffin and Ole Miss treated white and female athletes that took mental leaves differently than Rollins. 

Ole Miss contends that Rollins remains on scholarship -- he's on the Rebels' online roster as of this writing. 

The pivotal moment in the case in February 2023. According to the case, Rollins was told he was moving from defensive line to the scout offensive line shortly after the death of his grandmother.

Rollins later recorded a meeting with Kiffin in which Kiffin berated the player for refusing to meet with him over multiple weeks last February and March.

“OK, you have a f—ing head coach, this is a job, guess what, if I have mental issues and I’m not diminishing them, I can’t not see my f—ing boss,” Kiffin said, according to the lawsuit. “When you were told again and again the head coach needs to see you, wasn’t to make you practice, wasn’t to play a position you don’t f—ing want to, OK, it was to talk to you and explain to you in the real world, OK, so I don’t give a f— what your mom says, OK, or what you think is the real f—ing world you show up to work, and then you say hey I have mental issues, OK.”

“Although Kiffin’s conduct in the meetings was certainly offensive and imprudent, it is more akin to immature insults and indignities than to behavior going ‘beyond all possible bounds of decency,'" Mills ruled. 

The suit sought $10 million in compensatory damages and $30 million in punitive damages.

Guess Urban will be visiting ole miss quite often... watch your ass ladies  😋

Former Ohio State assistant Corey Dennis takes different analyst job

Ohio State's former QBs coach will now work off-field in the SEC, not the Big 12.

ZACH BARNETT        20 HOURS AGO

Former Ohio State quarterbacks coach Corey Dennis had previously joined Utah's staff as an analyst, but will now take the same role at Ole Miss, according to multiple reports. Dennis is now listed on Ole Miss's online staff page. 

The former Georgia Tech defensive back and wide receiver joined his father-in-law's Ohio State staff as an intern in 2015 and rose to become quarterbacks coach within six seasons. He was let go following the 2023 season. 

Dennis joins a Rebels staff with big expectations in 2024, perhaps the biggest in the program's modern history. 

With quarterback Jaxson Dart returning for his third year behind center and a No. 1 portal class, Lane Kiffin and company will be expected to build on last year's 11-2 record and No. 9 finish to compete for and reach the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff.

Sources: North Carolina State hiring away Ole Miss personnel assistant

Alex Faulk will serve as NC State's director of recruiting

JOHN BRICE        11 HOURS AGO

Alex Faulk, most recently the head of high school and junior college relations in Lane Kiffin's Ole Miss program, is departing his post, sources tell FootballScoop.

Faulk is set to accept an expanded role at North Carolina State, where he will become the director of recruiting for Dave Doeren's Wolfpack program.

Faulk had expanded his horizons at Ole Miss, and last year he was selected to participate in the NFL's prestigious Nunn-Wooten Scouting Fellowship program.

Ole Miss has had considerable recruiting success under Kiffin and just pulled in what is viewed by most services as the nation's top class of signees from the NCAA Transfer Portal in 2024.

Former Mississippi State head coach Zach Arnett to join Ole Miss staff

After coaching against Lane Kiffin three times, Zach Arnett will now coach for him.

ZACH BARNETT    8 HOURS AGO

Earlier today, we pondered the possibility of Ole Miss hiring away Mississippi State's active head coach. 

Now, reality has given us Ole Miss hiring Mississippi State's (former) head coach.

Former Bulldogs head coach Zach Arnett is set to join Lane Kiffin's Rebels staff as an analyst, according to Zach Berry of OMSpirit.

Arnett spent the past four years on the other side of the Egg Bowl rivalry, three as the late Mike Leach's defensive coordinator and the 2023 campaign as head coach. Arnett actually only coached three Egg Bowls, though: he was fired Nov. 13 of last year, 10 days before the Egg Bowl.

Kiffin went 2-1 against Arnett's defenses. Ole Miss won 31-24 in Oxford in 2020, and 31-21 in Starkville the following year.

Mississippi State struck back with a 24-22 victory in Oxford in 2022, in what would tragically become Leach's final game. 

Prior to Mississippi State, Arnett spent the first nine years of his career at San Diego State. He started in 2011 as a GA and by 2018 was the Aztecs' defensive coordinator.
