Lane Kiffin has turned to a rival to help out his Ole Miss football program.
Kiffin hired Zach Arnett to serve as an analyst for the Rebels. Arnett served as Mississippi State’s head coach last season before being fired following a 4-6 start.
Arnett joined the Bulldogs in 2020 as the defensive coordinator on the late Mike Leach’s staff. Arnett became the program’s interim head coach in late 2022 after Leach was hospitalized and was named the head coach for the 2023 season following Leach’s death.
For those of you keeping score at home, this means that Arnett will be getting paid by Mississippi State to help the rival Ole Miss Rebels.
That’s a nice hire for Kiffin, who is coming off an 11-2 season in Oxford.
