New Mississippi College head football coach Mike Kershaw spent the last five seasons as wide receivers coach at Rice University. “I really feel like Mississippi College is a place that's ready to explode, so that's kind of the main reason I took this area,” he said. Kershaw is no stranger to Mississippi, he played for and later coached at Delta State, leading the team to a Gulf South Conference championship as quarterback in 1998, and the NCAA Division-II National Championship semi-final coaching quarterbacks, wide receivers, and safeties in 2006.
