Anytime you hire a new head coach, staff changes are imminent. While some position coaches are retained, some are not. One coach not asked to remain on the staff led by Kalen DeBoer is tight end coach Joe Cox.
It didn’t take long for Cox to land on his feet as 247Sports is reporting that he will be joining Lane Kiffin at Ole Miss filling the same role.
Cox spent the last two seasons in Tuscaloosa coaching the tight ends under Nick Saban. Before coaching at Alabama, Cox had previous coaching stops at Colorado State, South Carolina, and Charlotte.
Cox played quarterback for the Georgia Bulldogs from 2005-09 under Mark Richt.
