Zach Arnett Departs Mississippi State for Analyst Role at Ole Miss
Former Bulldogs Head Coach Joins Rebels' Staff
In a surprising move, former Mississippi State head coach Zach Arnett is set to join the staff of rival Ole Miss as an analyst, according to multiple sources.
Arnett's departure from Mississippi State comes after just one season in charge. He was set to earn $3 million in total pay during his first year.
Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin confirmed the hiring of Arnett, praising his coaching abilities and experience.
"Zach is a great coach and has a wealth of knowledge," Kiffin said. "I'm excited to add him to our staff and believe he will be a valuable asset."
Arnett's hiring at Ole Miss is a significant move that could have implications for the rivalry between the two schools. Arnett has a strong track record as a defensive coordinator and head coach, and his addition to the Rebels' staff could bolster their program.
The move also raises questions about the future of Arnett's coaching career. After less than a season at Mississippi State, it's unclear what his next step will be. However, his hire at Ole Miss suggests that he is still highly regarded in the coaching world.
