Insights from a CAA Insider on Working with Jimmy Sexton
Coaches in the SEC, like those at Ole Miss, often find themselves under immense scrutiny. One prominent topic of conversation is whether head coach Lane Kiffin believes he can sustain a successful program that can compete with powerhouse teams like Alabama.
Recruiting Challenges
