Longo was the offensive coordinator at Sam Houston State, which had a 12-1 record this season and has made the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs in each of the last three seasons.Wesley McGriff returns to Ole Miss as defensive coordinator following four seasons away -- including one at Auburn and three with the New Orleans Saints.The Bearkats offense averaged 547.3 yards per game this season, which was No. 1 in the nation at the FCS level. Like Freeze, Longo worked his way up to big-time college football after starting his career as a high school coach.We explored every name for this position, but Phil has been on my radar for a long time and it was clear that he is the man that can take our offense from good to great, Freeze said in a statement.

The defenses have been outstanding at every place he has been, and his most recent experience at Auburn has him well prepared for this opportunity.McGriff will take over an Ole Miss defense that struggled in 2016. The Rebels gave up a SEC-worst 34 points per game and were particularly bad stopping the run, giving up more than 246 yards per game.-----More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 .
