The Ole Miss Rebels made a change at head coach with their basketball program. The school announced that the school and Kermit Davis have mutually agreed to part ways on Friday. The change is effective immediately.
Davis finished his five-season run with Ole Miss with a 74-79 overall record. The team was worse in conference play finishing 32-55. The team failed to reach .500 over the last two seasons with a record of 23-37 (6-27 in SEC play).
The school released the following statement in its press release.
“We thank Coach Davis for his dedication to the Ole Miss basketball program and our student-athletes,” Carter said. “No one wanted to bring a title home to Mississippi more than him, and we appreciate the passion for that goal that he shared with our team every day. As he has throughout his career, Coach Davis worked tirelessly to produce a winner, and we wish him, Betty, and his family the very best in the future.”
The school also announced that a national search is underway to find the next head coach.
