Andy Kennedy and Ole Miss originally agreed that he would leave after this season.
Over the weekend, Kennedy decided to end the relationship now.
Here’s a statement from Kennedy:
My announcement on Monday, February 12, declaring my impending resignation was intended to:
Lift “the cloud” forming over our program due to continued speculation regarding my future as head coach.
Stop any divisive distraction that the speculation was causing among our supporters (Rebel Nation) and allow Ross to move forward with securing the next head coach for the program.
Relieve any external pressure being felt by our current players.
