ole miss is one of those schools (like miss state) that doesn't realize they are a 6-8 win team and the occasional 10 win season on a great year. That's the ceiling. He would have done that there for a while. They believe they are better than an 9-3 team which they should have been happy with because thats probably as good as it gets. Every now and then they might get to 10-2 but more often than not 7-5.
Ole Miss is in a tough spot - there is a good Texas A&M team to the west, a good LSU team to the south, a great Bama team to the east and a auburn team farther east. Will be hard to win all those, a great season for Ole Miss would be to win 9 to 10 games.
