Rebel Roundup: Golding adds two more to coaching staff

BY Taylor Hodges

New Ole Miss coach Pete Golding continues to build his coaching staff while preparing for the Rebels home playoff game on Saturday.

Ole Miss announced the addition of two more assistant coaches on Sunday.

Ole Miss alumnus Michael Spurlock has been hired as an offensive assistant/wide receivers coach, replacing Sawyer Jordan who followed Lane Kiffin to LSU.

The school also announced that L’Damian Washington has been hired as the team’s wide receivers coach, replacing George McDonald who followed Kiffin to LSU like Jordan.

Spurlock played in 19 games for the Rebels during the 2004 and 2005 seasons. He played multiple positions, including quarterback where he threw for 1,709 yards and nine touchdowns.

Spurlock began his coaching career in 2014 as special teams quality control coach for UTSA while Golding was the defensive coordinator. He also served as special teams coordinator at Southeastern Louisiana, an analyst at Ole Miss under Kiffin, and running backs coach at Southern Miss last season.

This season Spurlock was on the Auburn staff as an analyst.

Washington will be a popular hiring amongst the Ole Miss fans. He brings a reputation as a great recruiter and tactician to Oxford.

Last season, Washington was the wide receivers coach at Kentucky and new Wildcats coach Will Stein did not retain his services.

Before that, Washington was the wide receivers coach and pass game coordinator at South Florida under newly hired Auburn coach Alex Golesh. While at South Florida, Washington developed Sean Atkins, a walk-on, into the Bull’s all-time career receptions leader and had at least four catches in 24 games.

  • No. 17 Ole Miss recorded the seventh-largest margin of victory Sunday in a 91-32 win against South Carolina State. The Rebels didn’t allow more than 10 points from the Bulldogs in three of the four quarters in the game, including a season-low four in the fourth quarter, all while forcing several extended streaks of scoreless action. Latasha Lattimore scored a team-leading 18 points with seven rebounds and three blocks. Sophomore Tianna Thompson had her most complete afternoon of effort this season, totaling a season-high 16 points on 5-for-5 shooting and 4-for-4 from the charity stripe. She became the first Rebel to be perfect from the floor with at least five attempts since teammate Christeen Iwuala did so last season.

Frankly I’ve been in these situations where the locker room wasn’t good. That’s really the worst of times.
