Kiffin recently was hired as the football coach at Ole Miss. He’s back in the SEC where he did a one-year stint at Tennessee in 2009 before skipping off to USC. He also spent three years as Alabama’s defensive coordinator under Nick Saban from 2014 through 2016 before moving onto being the head coach at Florida Atlantic, where he spent the past three seasons. Kiffin knows the SEC well and is a charming recruiter. It might not take long for him to turn Ole Miss around.
