According to a report from Scout.com, Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze has added former LSU coach Bradley Dale Peveto as the Rebels’ linebackers coach and run game coordinator.
Bruce Feldman of FOX Sports is also reporting the hire:

Peveto has experience at multiple SEC institutions. He enjoyed a four-year stint at LSU in the mid 2000’s — before returning to Baton Rouge in 2014. Peveto had been the special teams coordinator and a defensive assistant up until this past November, where he was not retained by Ed Orgeron after landing the LSU job full time.
The veteran coach also worked at Arkansas and Kentucky throughout his career — which began in 1987.
This was a potentially very smart move by Freeze. He picked up an experienced coach with an extensive knowledge of the conference and its opponents.
