At a press conference held this afternoon, men’s basketball coach Andy Kennedy announced that he would be stepping down at the end of the season. Ole Miss hired Kennedy in 2006 and this year marks his 12th season in control of the program.
“It’s time for a new voice and a new vision for this program moving forward,” Kennedy said. “So, with that said, at the end of this season, I will be stepping down from my role as the head coach of Ole Miss.”
Kennedy is the longest-tenured coach in the SEC and the only coach in SEC history to post 11 consecutive winning seasons after taking over a program coming off four straight losing seasons.
