So More On Kiffin And 2020
If you want to see Lane Kiffin in 2020, OHT has one question. ARE YOU READY? You had better be! Coach Lane Kiffin brings something to Ole Miss which Rebels fans haven’t seen in some time and are more than ready for. Kiffin brings the attitude and experience to make Ole Miss football what Rebels fans have longed for. Kiffin brings excitement to a dormant program that has floundered in the past but can be great.
OHT already took a look at the upcoming 2020 Ole Miss football season and has some realistic expectations. It would be awesome to see Lane Kiffin run thru the football season and win 10 or more games however it just won’t be that easy for the Rebels new head coach. OHT expects at least seven wins this season under Kiffin and his new staff. There could actually be more wins but first, we have to get to the 2020 college football season.
While we can’t be truly sure of how well the Rebels can be in 2020, we do know Kiffin has an abundance of young talent on the Rebels roster. The offense is especially good and it will be an exciting season on that side of the ball. The questions will be on the defense however, OHT feels we will see a gameplan by Kiffin in which the D will be prevalent and plentiful. The defense is the deciding factor in a seven-win season and an eight or nine win season.
Everybody already knows what a genius Lane Kiffin is as an offense-minded coach. The Rebels will score points and have numbers that are mind-blowing. Kiffin has an OC in Jeff Lebby who will also be the play-caller for the offense. Lebby may be young but he is a great coach and has the play-book. Don’t be surprised by what this offense is capable of with the depth they have. Kiffin will utilize the talent like he always has. Don’t worry, Kiffin will be successful and we will see it in 2020.
So as Rebels fans wait for the 2020 Ole Miss football season, we anticipate a great return on one of the best coaching hires in college football. The ‘Lane Train’ has entered the station and it will be a wild ride!
