Summary
Four LSU offensive assistants under Lane Kiffin have returned to Ole Miss for the upcoming College Football Playoff run.
All are expected to head back to Baton Rouge after the postseason is over, whether that’s in a couple of weeks or next month, including offensive coordinator Charlie Weis.
ESPN analyst Cole Cubelic doesn’t love the move from a locker room standpoint.
“My only concern was, if I was a player, I’d be like, ‘Nah, you left. We’ll make it. We’ll be OK,’” Cubelic said Tuesday on McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning, which he hosts with former Alabama quarterback and ESPN personality Greg McElroy.
The Ole Miss Spirit’s Ben Garrett believes new head coach Pete Golding has earned the benefit of the doubt.

| 0:52.3 | John David Baker is ticket thinking to be Ole Miss's |
| 0:54.1 | next offensive coordinator. I think Charlie White's coming back into the building. I talked to a lot of people there in that building, and one of the main things they said, if we can get Charlie Weiss back into the building, he ain't going nowhere. But, yeah, I think it's pretty obvious that Charlie, you know, so down the road with LSU, and he was, |

| 1:38.0 | And look, guys, East Carolina is not like some, you know, powerhouse or anything. |
| 1:41.5 | And they were top 25 in most every single statistical category offensively. |
| 1:43.3 | 14th in total offense. |
| 1:46.4 | They run a similar style and tempo as well. |
