In a lot of ways Andy Kennedy was the finest basketball coach in Ole Miss history. He became the programs all time winningest basketball coach in 2013 and had three more seasons of 20 win seasons before hitting the skids last year, the rug pulled out from underneath him by his administration, and he ended up leaving mid-season in hopes of helping his Rebels save their season.
It didn’t work.
So the Ole Miss brass cut Kennedy off at the knees the entire offseason heading into the season, let their coach walk, and then hired Kermit Davis.
