With the coronavirus pandemic causing sports cancellations on campuses across the country, Ole Miss head football coach Lane Kiffin will have to delay preparations for the 2020 season for the foreseeable future.
The first-year coach said he has been working since spring break to adjust plans with limited access to his new players and no return to campus in sight.
Kiffin said his coaching staff and trainers have communicated with players concerning social distancing practices and training suggestions as a substitute for spring football practices since all on-campus facilities are closed.
“Maybe I’m naive, but I’m still hoping for some type of spring ball to happen at some point — just some type of practices,” Kiffin said.
