Judge is a longtime New England Patriots assistant and Bill Belichick acolyte who has worked with Ole Miss since 2024. He currently works as the quarterbacks coach in Oxford.

As Kiffin prepares to make his decision, Judge would reportedly step in to coach Ole Miss through the rest of the season. Ole Miss most likely wouldn't let Kiffin stay if he left for a team like LSU.
