Ole Miss coaches going to LSU and who will coach against Miami

ESPN reported that offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr. and running backs coach Kevin Smith will remain on the Ole Miss sideline for the Fiesta Bowl against Miami, while assistant coaches Joe Cox, George McDonald and quarterbacks coach Dane (listed as Dan in some reports) Stevens will not be present for that game.

The Ole Miss Rebels remain in the College Football Playoff after losing head coach Lane Kiffin to LSU in late November. Pete Golding was named the team’s head coach for the CFP and beyond. Some assistants who have committed to join Kiffin at LSU continued to work Ole Miss’ first two playoff games. Ahead of the Fiesta Bowl semifinal against Miami, the program will have a smaller group of assistants on the sideline. Coaches attending the Fiesta Bowl: - Charlie Weis Jr., offensive coordinator, will coach Ole Miss in the Fiesta Bowl and is reported to be joining Lane Kiffin at LSU after the season. - Kevin Smith, running backs coach, will coach in the Fiesta Bowl and is reported among the assistants moving to LSU. - Joe Cox, co-offensive coordinator and tight ends coach, will not be on the sideline for the Fiesta Bowl. - George McDonald, wide receivers coach and passing game coordinator, will not be on the sideline for the Fiesta Bowl. - Dane Stevens (listed as Dan Stevens in some reports), quarterbacks coach, will not be on the sideline for the Fiesta Bowl. Summary: Two assistants who are reported to be joining Lane Kiffin at LSU — Charlie Weis Jr. and Kevin Smith — will still coach Ole Miss in the Fiesta Bowl against Miami, while several other Kiffin-era assistants who worked earlier CFP games will not be on the sideline. Pete Golding is serving as Ole Miss’ head coach for the CFP. Details about staff roles beyond the Fiesta Bowl were not specified in the report. Undetermined at this time.
