Rebel Legend Deuce McAllister Set to Join Ole Miss Football Coaching Staff

Deuce McAllister, the record-setting Ole Miss Rebel and New Orleans Saint halfback, is reportedly accepting a non-paid, non-sideline coaching position under new Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze. The role is reportedly along the lines of "offensive quality control" or something similarly vague. He will not be a part of the full-time assistant coaching staff, something which the NCAA does put limits on.
We are thinking this is likely to be along a graduate assistant type role, even though we're not entirely sure if McAllister's exact title has yet to be determined, but it's likely that McAllister will serve in some sort of offensive quality control capacity. I haven't a clue as to what type of role he is allowed to have regarding practice, gameplanning, recruiting, and all of the things that come with being a part of a coaching staff, but even if his role is severely limited I still cannot help but see this as a net positive for the program.
Deuce would be joining former Ole Miss teammates Matt Luke (OL coach) and Grant Heard (WR coach) on this staff.

This is a positive hire
Not only is deuce being brought in for a little pick-me-up for the program, I can possibly see him being a valuable tool in recruiting. He has name recognition throughout the southeast. Having a Rebels great walk into a 17 or 18 year old’s house and ask them to play football at Ole Miss could be the x-factor when recruiting against top-tier schools. Thumbs up to the Iceman! I’m beginning to like him more and more.
GAs are not allowed to interact with recruits in any way
or go on recruiting trips.
He may not technically be a GA
Honestly, I have no clue about any of those little rules by the NCAA. Would he be able to go on recruiting trips if he had specific job title such as “offensive quality control coordinator”? Whatever his role, this is still a smart pick up for the program.
I am pretty certain
that it means reviewing tons of film and compiling stats from it. It might also involve checking over the playbook for errors or other issues.
That'd be my guess
Usually, quality control is an overarching title that just means that the guy knows what the program should be doing and monitors various aspects of that to make sure things go right.
For analogous purposes, my fajah was a QC-engineer with GM back in the day. At his plant, it was his responsibility to check the wiring and other parts that were being shipped to a production plant in Mexico that put together the dashboards and other electronics. If a bad batch of parts was sent to Mexico, he had to take his ass down there to get bitched out and then had to come back and get yelled at.

To me the positive from this is....
Working to get our relatively robust NFL community to once again see that the rebel community desires their presence around the program.

At least we won't have an issue
with players getting free cars. Zing!

Did you mean to spell both Deuce and Accountant wrong?
Noticed “Deuce” is spelled wrong in about half the comments here.
Duece
Should be a positive move. Did he ever earn his degree or has he returned for that purpose? Is having a 4 year degree still a requirement to hold a full time coaching position at this level?

I believe
He was a double major before he left Ole Miss.
We may be grooming him to step in for Nix
if and when he decides to jump ship.

Harumph.
I never get Chicken on a Stick at Chicken on a Stick, but I love Chicken on a Stick.
She would be a nice addition to the grove on Saturdays.
Judging by that picture she looks good in rebel blue.

Correction. Taylor looks good when that Rebel Blue dress is draped over my arm chair.
Or really, ANY arm chair in Oxford, MS.

Good for Deuce
It’ll be good to see him around Oxford again, also I agree this would be a good backup plan in case Nix goes somewhere, possibly UNC with Brewer???

Glad for Deuce.
Hope he does good at… well, whatever the hell it is he’s actually going to be doing.
Ole Miss: the only place where drinking means more than winning.
I'm hearing that this isn't happening...
Perhaps my source is wrong, though. They have been known to go that route from time to time.
But supposedly Deuce has turned down the position.
Anyone else hearing similar?

It's not finalized yet
Deuce tweeted last night that at this point it is just mutual intrest from both parties nothing has been finalized.
