Rippee Writes: Tyler Komis talks Spring Football + Baseball

In this episode of the Rippey Writes Podcast, host Brian Scott Rippey welcomes Rebels 247's Tyler Comis to discuss the latest developments in Ole Miss spring football and baseball. The conversation begins with a critical look at the contrast between former head coach Lane Kiffin’s flamboyant, media-savvy persona and the more reserved, understated approach of new head coach Pete Golding. Comis highlights how Golding’s lack of social media presence and direct communication style offers a refreshing change, emphasizing authenticity over spectacle. The discussion dives into the offensive overhaul under new offensive coordinator John David Baker, who brings continuity with 80% of the previous system intact, while also introducing an NFL-style quarterback coaching structure led by Joe Judge. Key concerns include the offensive line’s depth and the performance of redshirt sophomore Therese Davis and underperforming transfer Karius Kern. On the defensive side, linebacker depth and the versatility of edge rusher Centering Perkins are noted as potential question marks. The baseball team’s strong 8-7 record at the halfway point, including a sweep of LSU, has boosted their regional hosting hopes, with praise for their deep, high-quality pitching rotation led by Hunter, Townsend, and Rabe. Comis expresses cautious optimism for both programs as they head into the second half of the season.
