Matt Luke has served as head coach since 2017.

The Ole Miss Rebels college football team represents the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) in the West Division of the Southeastern Conference (SEC). The Rebels compete as part of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Football Bowl Subdivision. The program has had 36 head coaches since it began play during the 1893 season.[1] From December 2011 until his termination in July 2017, Hugh Freeze served as Ole Miss' head coach.[2]

The team has played more than 1,130 games over 119 seasons.[1] In that time, seven coaches have led the Rebels in postseason bowl games: Ed Walker, Johnny Vaught, Billy Brewer, Tommy Tuberville, David Cutcliffe, Houston Nutt and Freeze.[1] Vaught won six conference championships as a member of the SEC and three national championships with the Rebels.[3][4]

Vaught is the leader in seasons coached and games won, with 190 victories during his 25 years with the program.[1] C. D. Clark has the highest winning percentage of those who have coached more than one game, with .857.[1] Z. N. Estes and Frank Mason have the lowest winning percentage of those who have coached more than one game, with .000.[1] Of the 35 different head coaches who have led the Rebels, Vaught[5] is the only one to have been inducted as a head coach into the College Football Hall of Fame in South Bend, Indiana.
