Ole Miss announced today the members of the five-person committee tasked with directing the search for the Rebels’ new head football coach.

“We are immensely grateful for the commitment each and every one of the committee members will make to finding a championship-caliber leader for Ole Miss football,” Chancellor Dan Jones stated. “The eagerness of the Ole Miss family to contribute in every way is what makes this university so special.”

The five-member committee will meet for the first time on Saturday. Four of the five members are drawn from the Intercollegiate Athletics Committee, and the committee includes representation of the faculty, the alumni and the M-Club. Brief bios of the committee members are below.

Archie Manning (Co-Chair) is considered one of the greatest quarterbacks in Ole Miss history, and “Manning” is a household name all over the nation. However, his appeal goes way beyond his long list of athletics achievements. Manning’s leadership and warm personality have impacted companies and organizations such as Gatorade, DirecTV, CBS Sports, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Salvation Army, Louisiana Special Olympics and countless others.

Archie and his wife Olivia reside in New Orleans and have three sons, Cooper, Peyton and Eli. Cooper and Eli both played for the Rebels, with Eli setting 47 school records as quarterback of the Ole Miss Football team. In 2003 he received the Maxwell Trophy as the Outstanding Player in College Football. Eli is the quarterback of the New York Giants and was the No. 1 selection in the 2004 NFL Draft.

T. Michael Glenn (Co-Chair) is executive vice president of Market Development and Corporate Communications for FedEx Corp. He is a member of the five-person Executive Committee, responsible for planning and executing the corporation’s strategic business activities. Glenn also serves as president and chief executive officer of FedEx Corporate Services, responsible for all marketing, sales and retail operations functions for all FedEx Corporation operating companies.

Glenn currently serves on the University of Mississippi Alumni Association Executive Committee, on the University of Mississippi Foundation Board and as a member of the Intercollegiate Athletics Committee.

Richard Noble is the new President of the Ole Miss Alumni Association and serves on the Intercollegiate Athletics Committee. Noble earned his BBA and JD from Ole Miss and is a practicing attorney with Crosthwait, Terney & Noble, PLLC, in Indianola. He has served as president of the Ole Miss Law Alumni Chapter and president of the Mississippi Bar Foundation. Noble is a member, past president, director and Paul Harris Fellow of Indianola Rotary Club and serves as a Director on the Sunflower County Economic Development District board.

Ronald Rychlak is a Professor of Law at the University of Mississippi School of Law, where he has been on the faculty since 1987. For 13 years, he served as Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, and he is currently in his fifth year as Chair of the Intercollegiate Athletics Committee and the university’s Faculty Athletics Representative.

Rychlak is a member of the committee charged by the Mississippi Supreme Court to revise the state’s criminal code. He also serves as a member of the Mississippi Advisory Committee to the U.S. Civil Rights Commission. In addition to co-authoring seven books, he has been published in the Mississippi Law Journal and numerous other periodicals and journals.

Ethel Young-Minor joined the English and African American Studies faculty of the University of Mississippi in 1996 and currently serves as Associate Professor. In addition, she serves as the Senior Faculty Fellow of the Lucky Day Residential College, where she leads a team of faculty members interested in bringing together living and learning for Ole Miss students.

Young-Minor is in her fourth year as a member of the Intercollegiate Athletics Committee, where she has worked with the Academic Sub-Committee and the sub-committee on Student Welfare and Well Being.

Bob Beaudine, a principal in Eastman & Beaudine, a national search firm, has been hired to assist the committee.

Texas(boosters) force Dodds out to make it easier to get rid of Mack Brown. Bring in a new AD to fire and replace Brown. UT looks bad early in the season and Brown's firing appears imminent. Word starts to leak about Saban to UT. Brown turns the team around and almost wins the Big 12. Can't fire him even though they have Saban lined up. One week stall before Brown is forced to retire....Saban stays at Bama. AD puts together a search committee to do job he was hired to do. It appears to most people that no one at UT is actually in control of anything at this point.
