The shelf life for an offensive or defensive coordinator is about as short as a gallon of milk.

In the last two years, there have been 27 new coordinators in the SEC alone. An incredible number considering there are only 28 coordinator positions in the conference.

The one team in the SEC that hasn’t hired a new coordinator is Ole Miss.

In fact, the Rebels offensive coordinator Dan Werner and defensive coordinator Dave Wommack have been at their positions since Ole Miss hired Hugh Freeze in 2012. The same can be said for the Rebels’ co-offensive coordinator. Matt Luke has been the Ole Miss offensive line coach and co-offensive coordinator the last four years and will remain so in 2016.

The only major change was at co-defensive coordinator, but even that position has been stable considering the revolving door at every other SEC school. Jason Jones has been co-defensive coordinator at Ole Miss since 2013, taking over for Wesley McGriff, who left after one season.

Freeze’s recruiting is obviously the No. 1 reason Ole Miss has won 19 games the last two years, but continuity at the coordinator positions certainly helps, too. While cross-state rival Mississippi State searched for its third different defensive coordinator in as many years and its sixth new one in the last eight years this offseason, recruits have the luxury of knowing Ole Miss will run the exact same scheme next season.

Chances are high it will stay that way at Ole Miss for the foreseeable future.

Werner and Wommack have each coached more than 30 years. At this point in their careers, it doesn’t seem likely they would leave to go run their own program. It also doesn’t seem probable they would leave for a lateral position.

Same goes for Freeze. He is from Oxford, so he probably won’t leave for another program. And as long as Freeze stays, Werner and Wommack likely will, too.

Most importantly, though, since the three coaches have teamed up at Ole Miss, the Rebels have been highly successful. In their first year together in 2012, Ole Miss went 7-6 and the team has won one additional game every year since then.

The 34-18 record is the best mark the Rebels have posted in a four-year span since going 32-12-1 from 1968-1971.

Every program wants to have consistency. But without success, schools wouldn’t keep the same coaches.

Ole Miss has built a highly-successful program with great recruiting and continuity on the coaching staff. Moving forward, that consistency is only going to be more of an advantage.
