Mandatory Credit: Nelson Chenault-Imagn Images Four more Ole Miss assistant coaches who followed head coach Lane Kiffin to LSU are returning to coach the Rebels in the College Football Playoff, multiple outlets reported Tuesday.
Co-offensive coordinator and tight ends coach Joe Cox, passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach George McDonald, assistant quarterbacks coach Dane Stevens and senior analyst and inside receivers coach Sawyer Jordan will be in Oxford for No. 6 seed Mississippi's Dec. 20 game against No. 11 Tulane.
It previously was announced that offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr. also would return to help out new Rebels head coach Pete Golding.
Kiffin took the job in Baton Rouge one day after the Rebels (11-1) defeated rival Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl on Nov. 28.
Kiffin said he wanted to stay on and coach Ole Miss through the postseason but that athletic director Keith Carter denied his request.
The winner between Mississippi and Tulane (11-2) will face No. 3 seed Georgia (12-1) on Jan. 1 in the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans.
