Newly promoted Ole Miss coach Pete Golding seeking stability as CFP opener vs. Tulane looms
Pete Golding takes over after Lane Kiffin's departure, focusing on staff rebuilding and player retention as Ole Miss prepares for its first College Football Playoff game.
- Pete Golding, newly promoted Ole Miss head coach, will make his debut Saturday, Dec. 20 at 3:30 p.m. ET as the Rebels host Tulane at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, Oxford, Miss.
- Several Ole Miss assistants, including Charlie Weiss, Joe Cox, George McDonald, and Sawyer Jordan, followed Lane Kiffin to LSU after the team reportedly voted 9-3 for him to coach the CFP, but Mississippi ultimately chose a different direction.
- Paul Myerberg wrote that `Golding will step in for LSU-bound Lane Kiffin for this playoff run and will be the permanent replacement moving forward`, while Golding hired three offensive coaches including John David Baker and kept the defensive staff intact.
- Focused on the mission, Pete Golding has been meeting Ole Miss players to prevent departures once the transfer portal opens in January, prioritizing retention as several receivers plus Kewan Lacy and Trinidad Chambliss are potential targets.
- Golding's lack of prior head-coaching experience puts long-term direction under scrutiny even as he inherits a strong roster spot.
