Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy charged with assault

[Vega]

According to Cincinnati police, Kennedy allegedly assaulted 25-year-old cab driver Mohammed Ould Jiddou at 1 a.m. ET in downtown Cincinnati.

According to the Cincinnati Police Department arrest report, Kennedy "was the aggressor that punched listed victim with a closed fist. [Kennedy] also was using racial slurs while punching victim. There was an unrelated witness that observed the whole incident."

Fighting Head Coach

If this is true and appears that it is then Andy Kennedy have be immediately fired. I was always a fan of his as I think he is one of the best Head Coaches in the SEC, but I did not know he was like that as a person. His career as a Head Coach is over imo. It does help that he is a Coach in the state of Mississippi where racial slurs are still welcome by some, but this won't fly nationally.

Who would have thought the guy that spent years as Bob Huggins #1 assistant would engage in this kind of behavior??

I have met coach Kennedy personally,and this doesn't sound like him at all. He is denying the accusations. I don't doubt that there was some sort of altercation, but I highly doubt that Kennedy was the instigator, or was using racial slurs. Its unfortunate that judgment has been passed already. Good luck to Coach Kennedy on clearing his name, and getting his team fired up for Louisville, Ole Miss has had some tough injuries this year, it's probably going to be a tough year even without this issue to work through.

And more information. BTW, you gotta love the media leaving out that they had a team meeting at 11, when they start saying it was at 1 a.m., it leaves a lot of room for speculation on what he was doing out so late.
