Item Description
Signed football by Lane Kiffin, Ole Miss Football Head Coach. Football signed October 2022.
Lane Kiffin heads into his third season at the helm of the Ole Miss football program after leading the Rebels to back-to-back bowl appearances in his first two years in Oxford.
Kiffin guided the Rebels to a 10-3 record in 2021, the first 10-win regular season in school history. That included a perfect 7-0 mark at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, part of an ongoing nine-game home win streak for Kiffin's teams.
The Rebels finished the season ranked No. 11 in both the AP and AFCA Coaches Poll; its highest final ranking since 2016.
Kiffin’s second year at Ole Miss was once again highlighted by one of college football’s most exciting offenses. For the second straight season, the Rebels led the SEC in total offense (492.5 ypg). Ole Miss has eclipsed 600 yards of total offense seven times under Kiffin after hitting that mark just 16 times in the program’s history before his arrival.
The Rebel defense ranked as one of the top-five most-improved units in the FBS, allowing 13.6 fewer points per game this season compared to 2020.
Kiffin quickly turned the Rebels into an offensive machine in 2020. Ole Miss ranked top 20 in the FBS in nine different offensive categories, including having the No. 3 team in the country in total offense, shattering the school record with 555.5 yards per game. Wide receiver Elijah Moore and quarterback Matt Corral were two of the main cogs in the Rebels’ high-powered offense.
Moore earned first-team consensus All-America accolades after a historic and shortened 2020 junior season. The Fort Lauderdale, Florida, native hauled in a school record 86 receptions for 1,193 yards and eight touchdowns during his last season in a Rebel uniform. Moore, a Biletnikoff finalist, led the country in receiving yards per game (149.1) and receptions per game (10.8).
Corral became just the fourth SEC player ever to finish as the NCAA leader in total offense per game (384.9), joining Pat Sullivan (1970), Rex Grossman (2001) and Johnny Manziel (2012). The signal-caller also finished No. 5 in passing yards per game (333.7), No. 7 in passing TDs (29), No. 9 in passing efficiency (177.6) and No. 11 in passing yards per completion (14.5).
The Rebels broke the SEC record for total offense in conference games (562.4 ypg), besting LSU’s mark of 550.0 yards per game set last season during the Tigers’ run to a national title.
The offensive explosion by the Rebels came as no surprise, as Kiffin has shown a propensity in helping turn programs around. In his first seasons at FAU, USC and Tennessee, Kiffin’s team improved in win differential (+3.33), scoring (+10.2), passing (+34.5 ypg) and rushing (+51.3 ypg).
Kiffin has more than 11 years of head coaching experience, including nine years at the NCAA level where he has posted an all-time record of 66-39.
In December 2016, Kiffin took over an FAU program that had won a total of nine combined games over the previous three seasons. Kiffin proceeded to take the Owls to new heights over the last three years, including two conference titles and two 10-win seasons.
