Report: If Lane Kiffin leaves, Joe Judge will "likely" be Ole Miss interim head coach
Our Summary
Joe Judge, currently the quarterbacks coach at Ole Miss, is positioned to become the likely interim head coach for the team's potential College Football Playoff run if head coach Lane Kiffin departs. Judge, 43, has a history with Bill Belichick, having spent eight years with the New England Patriots before his tenure as head coach of the New York Giants, which ended with a 10-23 record. After returning to the Patriots as an offensive assistant, Judge joined Ole Miss in 2024 as a senior analyst and became the quarterbacks coach this year. His future as a permanent head coach candidate will depend on the team's performance in the playoffs.
