Ole Miss Legend Vaught Dies

John Vaught, the man who built a football dynasty at Ole Miss in 25 seasons as head coach, died on Friday night. He was 96. Vaught, who led the Rebels to six SEC titles, was to Ole Miss football what Bear Bryant was to Alabama football, and none of his successors has been able to live up to his legacy.
