I'm not going to go into specifics without more confirmation, but the tea leaves point towards Kevin Smith not returning as Ole Miss' running backs coach in 2026.

You're not going to hear anything about this until the day after the bowl game at the earliest

It may just be me, but that's the one im worried about the least for 3 reasons.

1. We have Peoples coaching edge, worst case scenario, he could coach the whole DL.
2. Did you see that recruiting haul and what we have on campus? There isn't a lack of candidates willing to take the job i assure you.
3. We have Ed in our back pocket. If for some ungodly reason we can't find a DL coach, I'm sure he'd be willing to step in.

I think Chris Kiffin will be dline coach over Ed IF we miss on all the big names. Still a rumor, but it’s been posted here a few times that Baker doesnt want O.

So is Garrison the only coach they were able to retain on offense?

And they were so big and bad with their threat of “if you get on the plane, you WONT be welcome back” my arse.

The Ole Miss insiders may be the most out of touch group of media I’ve ever seen

Not surprising. Golding talked about his conversations with him and basically he said that Smith said he's committed now and would reevaluate after the playoff.

I don't know what it is, but there's a reason he isn't here yet. That's why I put him last. It would have to be a "we struck out on everybody else" type of situation.

Frank still has to coach the bowl game, I’m sure CLK doesn’t want to announce his replacement before then also.

I think that Lane is giving Blake Baker full reign on the defensive line coach hire. I also think Blake has zero interest in Coach O. So this might be a period where Chris kiffin and Blake Baker are in a get to know stage, while still evaluating options.

Don't know about the coach O piece, but did see this earlier which implies maybe Karr coach Brice Brown will have a position with LSU. Obvious huge grain of salt given the source or lack thereof. This would obviously be a move to replace Frank with a younger, hungrier, and more direct tie to NO HS football.
