SMU is now in the hunt for a new defensive line coach.

Randall Joyner is headed to the SEC as a member of the Ole Miss coaching staff, sources told The HillTopics on Thursday. Joyner becomes the second staff member to leave head coach Sonny Dykes' group of coaches, joining Kevin Kane, who took a job with Illinois.

Well liked and respected in and around the SMU community, Joyner has been a part of the Mustangs' defensive coaching staff since 2018. He was a linebacker for SMU from 2010-13.

Joyner will coach defensive linemen and also serve as a run game coordinator for the Rebels and head coach Lane Kiffin. He has been a grad assistant at Ohio State, where he delivered a speech that has earned multiple hits on Twitter.

Joyner will replace Deke Adams at the position for Ole Miss.

Joyner's coaching resume features a 2019 season where the defensive line was one of the most talked about in all of college football. The Mustangs had the top-ranked team in the FBS in the sacks department, averaging nearly four sacks per game.
