Ole Miss announces the addition of former Auburn AD Allen Greene to leading administrator position

Ole Miss has announced that it has hired former Auburn athletic director Allen Greene. There, he will be the Senior Deputy Athletics Director.

Previously, Allen Greene worked at Ole Miss and alongside Vice Chancellor for Intercollegiate Athletics Keith Carter in the Ole Miss Athletics Foundation. That was from 2009-12 and his title was Assistant AD for Development.

In this role, Allen Greene will oversee external operations and handle oversight for the football program.

“We could not be more excited to add Allen’s leadership to our team,” Carter said. “Going back to our time together at OMAF, I know firsthand the type of person and leader that Allen is, and he represents everything that you want in your administration. We look forward to adding his wealth of experience to our department and welcoming his family back to Oxford.”

For his part, Allen Greene is excited to return to Ole Miss.

“Simply put, our time at Ole Miss was enormously rewarding, and I couldn’t be more eager about the opportunity to, once again, partner with Keith,” Greene said. “Those around me know of my obsession with caring about the success of others, and I look forward to partnering with Chancellor Boyce, university leadership, athletic department staff/coaches, student-athletes and fans!”

Allen Greene left Auburn in August. This came after controversy surrounding the hiring of Bryan Harsin and a push to fire him after one season.
