There Has Been A Development With Ole Miss RB Coach Kevin Smith

by Staff Reporter

Ole Miss reporter Michael Katz of the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal has reported that he has received the term sheet for several Rebels assistants, including running back coach Kevin Smith.

Smith was Lane Kiffin's running back coach for the last three seasons at Ole Miss and at FAU from 2017 to 2019 before following him to Oxford.

It is believed that Kiffin has pursued Smith to join his new staff at LSU, but this latest development could throw a wrench into Kiffin's plans.

If Smith does, in fact, sign a new deal with Ole Miss, it leaves the door open for Frank Wilson to be retained as LSU's running back coach. Kiffin could also go a different route altogether.

Wilson, who is in charge of coaching the Tigers against Houston in the Texas Bowl, said he has had conversations with Kiffin about his future, but they have agreed to figure out the details after the bowl game on Dec. 27

Is it just me or is ole miss making all tiger fans dreams come true. They give kiffin ultimatum. He chooses LSU, they hire his DC so we turn keep Blake baker (whos better than golding IMO) and now they going to "force" kiffin to keep frank who we want to keep anyway. Keep making great choices ole miss... we love it

This whole post can be summed up as "Current Ole Miss RB coach still in negotiations with Ole Miss." That's it. You're welcome.

It seems like Ole Miss is taking advantage of our charity and using the temporary bowl coaching to steal back the coaches that left. Maybe we shouldn't let them use our coaches to coach their team?

I agree with you that Ole Miss is disrespecting a noble gesture by Kiffin by trying to steal back some of his coaches (like Weiss, Jr. Who didn't take the bait).

Interesting!

I remember when Rafael Furcal signed a term sheet with the Braves and then took it to the Dodgers to get more money from them.

This is not a new term sheet for Kevin Smith. It’s his current terms. He hasn’t signed a new one

This can't hurt our chances of getting Lacy out of the portal.

What is a term sheet?

Bige11•6 hours

It is an informal memo documenting the terms of an agreement. First step in negotiating before any due diligence, and last is contracts.

I'm sure Lane Kiffin had a "term sheet"/aka offer from Ole Miss. The Ole Miss lapdog reporters are acting like it is some kind of hint of guys staying. That is utter nonsense!

This means Frank is staying - as he should.

I don’t care about Kevin Smith, if he stays at Ole Miss but I do care about Frank Wilson. We don’t want to lose him to Texas and giving them a grip with Frank over New Orleans and state of La. Frank Wilson is too valuable to LSU to lose.

No he’s not! Frank sucks as a RB coach and hasn’t developed anyone. Time to trim the fat.

As of the 2025 season, Ole Miss ranks 9th in rushing yards among NCAA teams.

Yeah, why would we want that guy....
