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:

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.
