Kiffin Nabs Lebby for Offensive Coordinator

Sources have confirmed to Mississippi Sports Network that new head coach Lane Kiffin has hired UCF Offensive Coordinator Jeff Lebby to the same position at Ole Miss.

Lebby has spent the last three years as the quarterbacks coach for the Knights, but has spent the last season as the OC of Central Florida. During the 2019 season, the Knights averaged 43 points per game, which was the seventh-best in the country.

Along with that, his offense averaged seven yards a play, 320 yards per game through the air, and 217 yards per game on the ground. Also, his offense produced 68 touchdowns overall on the season.

He also spent time as the passing game coordinator and running backs coach at Baylor during the Art Briles years. He was responsible for five 1,000-yard rushers in his time there and helping develop prolific quarterback Bryce Petty.
