Air Raid disciple Phil Longo won’t fix defense, recruiting at Ole Miss

Ole Miss has hired new coordinators on both sides of the ball, as Phil Longo is now in charge of the offense and Wesley McGriff runs the defense.

Longo takes over for Dan Werner, who had been co-offensive coordinator for the entirety of coach Hugh Freeze’s five-year tenure with the Rebels. McGriff replaces Dave Wommack, who retired after a 38-year career in coaching.

Neither Werner nor Wommack is leaving Oxford — voluntarily or otherwise — with a good taste in his mouth. Mississippi finished the 2016 campaign at 5-7 and won’t go bowling over the holidays, which is a shock for a team that was expected to compete in the West. All those extra practices would have come in handy.

Longo, a disciple of the popular Air Raid system, has a lot in common with Freeze when it comes to general offensive philosophy.

Coach Hugh Freeze came to the harsh reality: It was time for change in Oxford.

“I think we had been together so long it was just time to shake that up some,” Freeze said of his previous staff Friday on The Paul Finebaum Show.

That change came on Friday as Ole Miss announced the hires of two new Rebels coaches — offensive coordinator Phil Longo and defensive coordinator Wesley McGriff.

    Why is ole miss letting the NCAA put off ending its assault on ole miss? This is another stab in the back for political reasons . Don’t we have a law school up there? Hire Donald Trump to deal with this.
