Lane Kiffin has reportedly found his new special teams coordinator. Ole Miss is set to hire Marshall’s Jeremy Springer, according to multiple reports. John Brice of FootballScoop was first with the news.

The 2021 season was Springer’s first season at Marshall. He joined the Thundering Herd after 3 seasons at Arizona (2018-20) on Kevin Sumlin’s staff.

Springer also has some SEC familiarity. He followed Sumlin to Arizona from Texas A&M. For 3 seasons (2015-17), Springer was an Aggies quality control assistant. From Springer’s Marshall bio:

While at Texas A&M, Springer worked directly with special teams coordinator Jeff Banks, and assisted with the tight ends. He was also responsible for organizing recruiting efforts in south and west Texas.

Under Banks and Springer, the Aggies’ special teams were one of the nation’s leaders. In 2017, Texas A&M led the nation in blocked kicks and blocked punts. The Aggies also finished second in the nation in punt returns and third in net punting.

In 2016, the Aggies’ special teams led the nation in punt returns and allowed zero blocked kicks. A year prior, they led the nation in punt returns and allowed zero blocked kicks in 2015.

Coleman Hutzler was Ole Miss’ special teams coordinator for the 2021 season. Hutzler left Ole Miss for the same position at Alabama.
