Two years, ago Ole Miss Defensive Coordinator Dave Wommack couldn’t bring himself to leave the profession he’d been in for nearly four decades. He’d just helped Ole Miss win eight games, and earn a birth in a New Year’s Six Bowl with the number one defense in college football.
“I almost (decided to retire) after the 2014 season, and we thought ‘Man, we are having fun so let’s keep going and all that stuff,'” Wommack said. “Then last summer, we solidified this is what we wanted to do.”
Wommack first met Head Coach Hugh Freeze when Freeze brought him on staff at Arkansas State to be his defensive coordinator.
