#DADCORE.

Ever the sartorial savant, Ole Miss Rebels head basketball coach Andy Kennedy goes extremely summer jam, it seems, as evidenced by his intense commitment to the #DADCORE aesthetic. Like when he made an appearance at Rebel football’s Wednesday practice. Here, take a look.

Looking good, coach. Interim head football coach Matt Luke is clearly enamored with AK’s wardrobe choice here, which says “I can’t be bothered to don a suit jacket” and “why yes, I do sort of look like Matt Skiba of the band Alkaline Trio in these slick shades.” The resemblance is uncanny.

(It’s here that we should point out that AK is a dedicated supporter of Ole Miss football and rarely misses a home game. That’s good hustle.)

Skiba probably has a few pounds on Kennedy, despite the latter’s distinct height advantage. I’ve met Skiba, and he’s only about 6’0.

Our editorial line is firmly in adoration of Kennedy’s khaki shorts, oversized white shirt, low-cut socks and extremely dad-errific white and red kicks. Put this man in a museum somewhere, wearing exactly this get-up.
