Kennedy, AD meet following coach’s arrest
Mississippi coach Andy Kennedy was meeting with athletic director Pete Boone in a downtown Cincinnati hotel after Kennedy was arrested early Thursday morning for allegedly assaulting a cab driver.
The pair were expected to release a statement later Thursday after the meeting, which will determine if Kennedy would be allowed to coach Thursday night’s game against No. 9 Louisville (9 p.m. ET, ESPN).
According to Cincinnati police, the 40-year-old Kennedy was arrested on a misdemeanor assault charge for allegedly punching 25-year-old cab driver Mohammed Ould Jiddou in the face while shouting racial slurs. The assault happened at 1 a.m. ET in downtown Cincinnati, according to the police report.
