re: So why did Ole Miss fire Kennedy?

he was a guy who'd run his course and was basically a NIT-level coach

Ole Miss is basically an NIT level job. They've made the NCAAt 8 times ever and Andy Kennedy is responsible for 25% of those. He is responsible for 25% of their tournament wins and 50% of their conference tournament championships. I'm not sure you're going to get someone who can do much better. It's not going to be a big name, so OM will be hoping a mid level up and comer can come in and match or exceed Kennedy's performance at the toughest job in the conference. I think it's far more likely he falls short of Kennedy's standard.
