The program
Overview
Ole Miss enjoyed its golden era under Johnny Vaught, whose teams won six SEC titles and claimed three national championships between 1959 and 1962. The program is closely linked to the Manning family, from Archie in the late 1960s to Eli in the early 2000s, and tailgating in The Grove is renowned. The Rebels reached modern highs in the 2020s, including an 11-win 2023 season and a College Football Playoff semifinal run after the 2025 season.
