Former Giants head coach Joe Judge has reportedly joined Lane Kiffin's staff at Ole Miss.

Judge has spent the past two seasons with the New England Patriots. Per ESPN:

Judge was the Giants' head coach in 2020 and 2021 before being fired and was with the New England Patriots the past two seasons, most recently as the assistant head coach under Bill Belichick in 2023. Kiffin has made an effort to bring in coaches with ties to Nick Saban and/or Belichick. Judge coached special teams under Saban at Alabama from 2009 to '11 and spent 10 seasons working under Belichick in various roles, including special teams, quarterbacks and receivers.

A former player at rival Mississippi State, Judge is the second coach with Mississippi State ties to be hired this offseason by Ole Miss. Zach Arnett spent the 2023 season as Mississippi State's head coach after arriving as defensive coordinator in 2020. Mississippi State promoted Arnett following the death of coach Mike Leach in December 2022 and then fired him in November after the team dropped to 4-6.
