The Ole Miss Rebels' thrilling come-from-behind victory over the Georgia Bulldogs in the College Football Playoff quarterfinal may have come with a caveat of sorts, possibly in the form of continued fallout from former coach Lane Kiffin's departure. Six Rebels assistant coaches, including offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr., signed contracts to join Kiffin as assistants on his staff at LSU, but were allowed to stay behind to coach the Rebels in the CFP.
But college football's calendar beckons, as the transfer portal, which has become a quick fix roster-builder for transitioning coaches such as Kiffin, opens on Jan. 2. As such, the Rebels are reportedly uncertain of how many LSU-bound assistants the program will have on its staff in the upcoming CFP semifinal against Miami, sources told Mark Schlabach of ESPN.
