The Coach

COOL Clinic

Cody Kennedy begins his first season as Arkansas’ offensive line coach in 2021 after originally being hired to coach the Razorbacks’ tight ends following a brief stint at Southern Miss during the 2020 offseason as the team’s run game coordinator and offensive line coach.

He joined new Southern Miss head coach Will Hall in Hattiesburg after spending the 2019 and 2020 seasons working with Hall, then Tulane’s offensive coordinator, as the Green Wave’s offensive line coach. Kennedy helped Tulane establish one of the nation’s premier rushing offenses, ranking inside the FBS top 20 in each of his two seasons in New Orleans.

In 2020, Tulane scored 32 touchdowns on the ground, tied for seventh-most in the nation, and ranked 17th nationally averaging 217.1 rushing yards per game, leading the American Athletic Conference in rushing for the second straight year. Kennedy helped guide Tulane to its second bowl berth in as many seasons, mentoring offensive linemen Corey Dublin and Sincere Haynesworth to All-AAC Second Team recognition.
