BREAKING: Ole Miss hires Wiggins

Fresno State head coach Adrian Wiggins has been named as the new head coach at Ole Miss. This past season, Fresno State made their fifth-straight NCAA Tournament appearance and recorded at least 20 wins for the sixth consecutive season under Wiggins in 2011-12. While registering a program-best 28 wins, the Bulldogs claimed a piece of the Western Athletic Conference regular-season title for the fifth straight year and the WAC tournament title for the fourth time in five seasons.

In his seven-plus seasons as head coach, the two-time WAC Coach of the Year has amassed a 175-66 overall record and 92-18 record in WAC games. He is the only Fresno State coach in the 45-year history to not have a losing season, while averaging 25 wins per season.

Since his first full season as head coach in 2005-06, the Bulldogs boasted the most wins in the WAC (168). Under Wiggins, the Bulldogs had the program’s four most successful seasons in school history and seemed to improve upon each campaign the following year.

Wiggins will be formally introduced at a Wednesday press conference, and fans can watch the event live at 1 p.m. CT in a free webcast on OleMissSports.com’s RebelVision.
