Ole Miss interim coach Matt Luke named his replacement as the Rebels’ offensive line coach Friday, hiring longtime college and NFL line coach Jack Bicknell Jr. to the position.
Bicknell most recently spent two seasons as the assistant offensive line coach with the Miami Dolphins (2014-15); he was out of football last season. Bicknell, 54, is the former coach at Louisiana Tech (1999-2006).
“Being a former head coach, he brings a perspective that I look forward to having in our coaches’ meetings,” Luke said in a statement announcing the hiring.
Bicknell also has worked in the NFL for Pittsburgh, Kansas City and the New York Giants.
