Ole Miss head coach Andy Kennedy returns to Cincinnati and ends up in jail.Kennedy was arrested early Thursday morning charged with misdemeanor assault. He is accused of attacking a taxi driver and shouting racial slurs at him.
A report says that Kennedy was the "aggressor" and punched the cab driver, Mohammed Ould Jiddou, and used racial slurs during the attack.
Kennedy has hired an attorney, Mike Allen who is a former prosecutor in the Cincinnati area and entered a not guilty plea on behalf of Kennedy this morning. Hamilton said Kennedy, "emphatically denies this and emphatically denies making any racial slurs."
According to an OSG source, Kennedy and Ole Miss athletic director Pete Boone are meeting about his immediate future. The Rebels play Louisville tonight in the SEC/Big East challenge it is not known at this time whether Kennedy will coach in the game.
Kennedy was the interim head coach at the University of Cincinnati during the 2005-06 season when Bob Huggins stepped down.
