Rebels, Lane Kiffin Hire Corey Dennis as New QBs Coach

The Ole Miss Rebels have hired former Ohio State Buckeyes quarterbacks coach Corey Dennis to the staff in Oxford.

The Ole Miss Rebels made a new addition to their coaching staff this week, hiring Corey Dennis as the new quarterbacks coach after he formerly held the same position with the Ohio State Buckeyes.

On3 was the first to report the news. Dennis has spent nine years with the Buckeyes in Columbus, coaching quarterbacks for the last four years and working with the likes of Dwayne Haskins, Justin Fields and C.J. Stroud at the signal caller position.

Dennis is also the son-in-law of former college coach Urban Meyer, so his football knowledge will be a vital addition to Kiffin's staff at Ole Miss as the Rebels gun for a College Football Playoff berth in 2024.
