Report: Lane Kiffin targeting Big Ten assistant for defensive coordinator spot

Published:
It had been reported that Ole Miss would retain DC Mike MacIntyre under new head coach Lane Kiffin.
However, that may not be the case after all, as a new report has a different assistant that Kiffin is targeting.
Per ESPN’s Tom VanHaaren, the Rebels will target Chris Partridge on Michigan’s staff to be the new defensive coordinator:
According to a source, Lane Kiffin is targeting Chris Partridge as defensive coordinator at Ole Miss. Partridge has been one of Michigan’s best recruiters and has had multiple job offers in the past.

It doesn’t appear that Kiffin has officially let MacIntyre go yet, so this report is certainly interesting and noteworthy.
Would the Wolverines even let Partridge get away, though? This will be a story to monitor in both Ann Arbor and Oxford over the coming days.
