Ole Miss will hire Middle Tennessee State head coach Kermit Davis to replace Andy Kennedy according to a report this morning from Jon Rothstein.

Davis has led MTSU to a 25-7 record, the program’s first-ever Top 25 ranking, and an NIT bid this season. MTSU won 31 games last year, and claimed both the 2016 and 2017 C-USA Championships. Davis, a native of Mississippi, is 331-187 in his 16 seasons at the school. His squad has also beat Ole Miss in each of the past two years.

More on this as it develops.
