Jeff Lebby (born January 5, 1984) is an American football coach and former player. He is currently the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Ole Miss. He has previously been a coach at Oklahoma, Baylor, and UCF.
Playing career
Lebby played high school football at Andrews High School.[1]He earned All-State honors his senior year and signed with Oklahoma to play football. Unfortunately, an injury ended his playing career.
Coaching career
After the injury ended his playing career, he switched to coaching and stayed at Oklahoma as a student assistant.[2]At Oklahoma, he would meet then-Oklahoma quarterback and future boss Josh Heupel. He left Oklahoma to coach the offensive line and tight ends at Victoria High School (Texas). He came back to the collegiate ranks in 2008, and served various roles for Baylor across nine seasons. Since 2012, he has coached five 1,000-yard rushers.[3]
He got his first coordinator opportunity at Southeastern, an NAIA school in Florida. He left Southeastern for UCF as their quarterbacks coach, reuniting with Josh Heupel. Under his guidance, quarterback McKenzie Milton was 7th in yards per attempt and 9th in passing efficiency rating.[4]He was promoted to offensive coordinator in 2019. His offense ranked 5th in total offense and true freshman quarterback Dillon Gabriel threw for 3,653 yards and 29 touchdowns.[5]
On December 11, 2019, Lebby was hired by Lane Kiffin at Ole Miss to serve in the same role as he did at UCF.[6]
On January 6, 2021, Lebby signed a two-year extension with Ole Miss. [7]
