Ole Miss fans have celebrated Thanksgiving and an Egg Bowl win over rival Mississippi State University, beating the Bulldogs 17-7. What really got Rebel fans’ attention, though, was the most recent coaching hire at Mississippi State. Former Ole Miss and most recently Oklahoma Offensive Coordinator Jeff Lebby signed a five-year contract to serve as the Bulldogs’ head football coach.
Lebby served under Ole Miss Head Coach Lane Kiffin in both of their first seasons with the Rebels. In Lebby and Kiffin’s second year with the Rebels, Ole Miss earned its first 10-win regular season in the history of the program.
