You're listening to Talk of Champions at Ole Miss Spirit podcast with Ben Garrett.

It's up, it's up, it's not, it's up, it's up.

Welcome in the Talk of Champions.

I'm Ben Garrett at Spirit.

Been on Twitter.

Joining me now is Jonathan Hess, now former Ole Miss Tide-in.

That's got to sound weird because you're transitioning to coach.

And how are you, man?

Yeah, good.

How are you doing?

Thanks for having me on.

It is definitely weird, but I'm really, really blessed for the opportunity to just stay and work with football for sure.

So how did this opportunity come about?

What were the conversations like?

Pretty much I asked, Coach, if there's, you know, anywhere I could help out.

And he told me about a spot in recruiting that I could go into and kind of what he saw

me doing.

And obviously that was all I needed to hear.

And I really just wanted to serve Ole Miss and serve the program and give back to an

institution that gave me so much.

For you, when you look back on the playing career, what will you remember most?

Is it becoming just such a fan favorite?
