Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin is bringing in his younger brother, Chris, to join the Rebels' staff as co-defensive coordinator, sources confirmed to ESPN on Thursday.
Chris Kiffin, expected to coach linebackers, will team with co-coordinator Chris Partridge to head up the defense. Partridge has been a member of the Rebels' staff for the past two seasons and coached safeties.
D.J. Durkin, who called the plays for the defense the past two seasons, left earlier this month to become defensive coordinator at Texas A&M.
Chris Kiffin was previously the defensive line coach with the Cleveland Browns.
