3 Dec
Summary
- Offensive coordinator flew to LSU but will return to coach Ole Miss.
- Kiffin allowed the coach's return to avoid CFP ranking penalties.
- The Rebels are preparing for a College Football Playoff run.
Ole Miss offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr. made a notable trip to LSU but has been granted permission by Coach Lane Kiffin to return and coach the Rebels through their College Football Playoff run. The schools confirmed this arrangement on Tuesday, with Weis Jr. expressing gratitude for the opportunity to finish the season with Ole Miss.
Kiffin stated that allowing Weis Jr. to return was crucial to prevent Ole Miss from being penalized by the College Football Playoff committee due to a depleted coaching staff. He believes this decision will help the team secure a favorable ranking for the deserving players, as they prepare for the playoff games.
The Rebels concluded their regular season with an impressive 11-1 record. They are anticipated to host a first-round playoff game, contingent on their ranking, which was seventh before recent upsets in the national landscape.
