 Since Vaught's departure in 1973, the Rebels have gone through a number of head coaches, none of them able to replicate the success of the Vaught era.The longest tenured coach since Vaught was Billy Brewer, who in 11 seasons from 1983 to 1993 compiled a 68–55–3 record and won three bowl games.The team's current head coach is Lane Kiffin, who took over the role in 2019 after Matt Luke was fired following a 5–6 2019 season and an egg bowl loss to rival Mississippi state 20–21.
