Just three days after its spring football game, Ole Miss has fired offensive line coach/running game coordinator Randy Clements, school officials confirmed to ESPN on Tuesday.

Clements, who was entering his second season on Ole Miss’ staff, was hired by Lane Kiffin soon after Kiffin was named the Rebels’ head coach in December of 2019.

Sources told ESPN that Kiffin’s decision to fire Clements was for football reasons and not related to any off-the-field issues. Kiffin informed Clements that he was making the move Tuesday morning.

Ole Miss led the SEC in rushing last season (210.6 yards per game) and was fourth in sacks allowed (19).
