Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin is constantly looking for a way to improve his staff at every turn. And now, as the Rebels’ head man heads into his third season in Oxford, he adds a former USC position coach to his staff.

Seth Doege, most recently a tight ends coach for the Trojans, has been added to the Ole Miss staff after he was not retained by new USC head coach, Lincoln Riley.

Before he got to Los Angeles, the San Angelo, Texas coach spent three seasons at Bowling Green as a graduate assistant, receivers coach and special teams coordinator. Doege’s pupil, Scott Miller, was an All-Mid-American Conference First Team selection in 2016 while catching 74 passes for 968 yards and 10 touchdowns. 

As an offensive quality control analyst for the Trojans, Doege was part of a Trojans’ staff which saw USC finish in the Top-25 in six offensive categories (completion percentage, passing offense, passing efficiency, total offense, third down conversions and first downs) while also setting school records for total passing yards, completion percentage, completions and attempts. 

Kedon Slovis was a Freshman All-American and Pac-12 Offensive Freshman of the Year while completing a school-record 71.9 percent of his passes for a freshman record 3,502 yards with 30 touchdowns.

In 2020, Slovis was an All-Pac-12 First Team selection and finished Top-20 in completions (1st), passing yards, total offense and completion percentage, all tops in the Pac-12.  Wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown was also an All-Pac-12 First Team selection.

Doege was also instrumental in USC’s recruiting efforts, helping the Trojans sign four-stars Jaxson Dart and Miller Moss.

As a player at Texas Tech, Doege threw for 4,004 yards and 28 touchdowns as a junior and set an NCAA completions percentage record when he went 40-for-44 (90.9 percent) against New Mexico. He also helped Texas Tech upset No. 3 Oklahoma in 2011. As a senior, he went 380-for-541 passes through the air (70.2 percent) for 4,205 yards and 39 touchdowns (top-five nationally in passing yards, touchdowns, completions and completion percentage).

Doege threw for 504 yards in an upset over 5th-ranked West Virginia and threw 7(!) touchdowns in a win over TCU, earning MVP of the Meineke Car Care Bowl. His 69 percent career completion mark was a school record at the time and he was a semifinalist for the Davey O’Brien Award in 2012.
