Chris Low: Ole Miss set to hire Rich Rodriguez as new offensive coordinator

BZ: This would give Matt Luke 25 years worth of head coaching experience in his two new coordinators.

Ole Miss is finalizing a deal to make Rich Rodriguez the Rebels' offensive coordinator, sources confirmed to ESPN.

Rodriguez, formerly the head coach at West Virginia, Michigan and Arizona, is set to receive a three-year contract.

55-year-old, who interviewed for the position last week, will be the second former head coach to join Matt Luke's staff at Mississippi. Former Colorado head coach Mike MacIntyre was hired earlier this month as the Rebels' defensive coordinator.

Arizona fired Rodriguez in January after six seasons in the wake of a sexual harassment allegation brought by his former administrative assistant. Although the school's investigation determined that the claim could not be substantiated, it nevertheless led to the firing of Rodriguez, who also denied the allegations.
