Last season, Andy Kennedy resigned his position late in the season. Ole Miss never made consecutive NCAA tournaments. Andy Kennedy record as Ole Miss coach is 245-156. Andy Kennedy took Ole Miss to the NCAA tournament in 2012-13 and 2014-15 seasons. After his resignation, last season Ole Miss athletics hired Kermit Davis former Middle Tennessee coach. He took MT to the tournament 3x and he has won 6x regular season championships, and he has won 2x conference championships with Middle Tennessee. Kermit shocked No.2 seed Michigan State in the 2016 NCAA Tournament First Round. With Kermit Davis being such a good defensive coach and being a smart coach. I can see in four to six years that Ole Miss can be a threat in the SEC. Ole Miss is going to have a tough season in the SEC. With all the talented teams in the SEC like Kentucky, Tennessee, Auburn, and Vandy. All Coach Davis’ teams have been tough and smart. Ole Miss brings back Terence Davis which was Ole Miss top scorer and top rebounder from last season. Also, they bring back Breein Tyree and Bruce Stevens. They lose Markel Crawford and Deandre Burnett. Ole Miss has a weak non-conference schedule they face Baylor, Iowa State, and Middle Tennessee. Ole Miss will not miss Andy Kennedy for Ole Miss fan its goodbye and good riddance. Kermit Davis loves to play the 1-3-1 I cannot wait to see what Kermit Davis does with this program. Last season Ole Miss went 12-20 (5-13) last season. My prediction for this team next season is 21-11 (9-9). Kermit Davis is the most underrated hire of the off-season, four years from now people will be talking about how good of a coach he is. Ole Miss fans
