OXFORD, Miss. (AP) – Mississippi has hired David Lee as its offensive coordinator.
Lee has spent the past three seasons as quarterbacks coach for the Miami Dolphins. He has a long history with Mississippi head coach Houston Nutt.
University spokesman Kyle Campbell confirmed Lee’s hiring on Monday.
The 57-year-old Lee worked for Nutt at Arkansas. He was quarterbacks coach in 2001 and ’02, and then returned in 2007 to become the offensive coordinator. Lee initially followed Nutt to Ole Miss after the 2007 season, but decided to take a job with the Dolphins.
Lee takes over for Dave Rader, who Campbell says is leaving and still has one year remaining on a contract that pays $275,000 annually.
The Ole Miss offense scored 30.6 points per game this fall, which ranked seventh in the SEC.
