Ole Miss Coaching Staff Announced for College Football Playoff: Weis Jr. Returns, Garrison Stays Put
The Ole Miss coaching staff for the College Football Playoff has been announced, with offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr. among the coaches who will be coaching the Rebels. The staff includes new coach Pete Golding, quarterbacks coach Joe Judge, running backs coach Kevin Smith, and others. Notable absences from the list are tight ends coach Joe Cox, wide receivers coach George McDonald, and others who will be joining Lane Kiffin at LSU.
Despite Weis Jr. and other coaches leaving for LSU, Kiffin has allowed Weis Jr. to return to Ole Miss to coach the team during the playoffs. This decision was made to ensure that Ole Miss receives the highest ranking possible in the playoffs. Offensive line coach John Garrison is one of the coaches who will be staying at Ole Miss, as he has signed a new deal to remain with the Rebels.
Garrison, who has been with Ole Miss for three years, previously coached at NC State, UNLV, and Nebraska. The coaching staff changes come as Ole Miss prepares for the College Football Playoff, with Weis Jr. and others splitting their time between Ole Miss and LSU. The team is gearing up for a strong showing in the playoffs under the guidance of their dedicated coaching staff.
