3 Worst head coach hires in Ole Miss football history
There have been a lot of coaches in Ole Miss football history, so let's take a look at which ones Ole Miss fans would like to forget.

Steve Sloan was a proven head coach before coming to Ole Miss. His best season with the Rebels was his first season when he went 5-6. Sloan's best record in conference play was 3-3 in his second season.
Here is a breakdown of Sloan's time with the Rebels.
- 1978: 5-6, 2-4 conference
- 1979: 4-7, 3-3 conference
- 1980: 3-8, 2-4 conference
- 1981: 4-6-1, 1-5-1 conference
- 1982: 4-7, 0-6 conference
Sloan was never fired from Ole Miss, but I am guessing it was something discussed by athletics, especially after going 0-6 in conference play in his last season. Sloan decided to leave Ole Miss after the 1982 season and went on to become the head coach at Duke.
