Ole Miss announced Friday it fired men's basketball coach Kermit Davis.
"We thank Coach Davis for his dedication to the Ole Miss basketball program and our student-athletes," athletic director Keith Carter said. "No one wanted to bring a title home to Mississippi more than him, and we appreciate the passion for that goal that he shared with our team every day. As he has throughout his career, Coach Davis worked tirelessly to produce a winner, and we wish him, Betty and his family the very best in the future."
The move comes as the Rebels are 10-18 overall and tied for last in the SEC at 2-13.
