Lane Kiffin has hired away another Michigan football staffer.

Devin Bush Sr. has joined Kiffin's staff at Ole Miss as the director of recruiting, the program announced Friday afternoon.

Bush, the father of former Michigan All-American linebacker Devin Bush, was an analyst for the Wolverines the past four seasons in an off-the-field role. His new position will be off-the-field as well.

Michigan passed over Bush for multiple on-field coaching jobs the past several years. In 2017, he helped coach the defense as an on-field assistant during preparations for the Outback Bowl, but the Wolverines eventually filled the staff opening with someone else.

He also was seen helping out this past season for the Citrus Bowl. Michigan has had two more assistant coaching openings this offseason, but Bush was not chosen to fill either.

The former Florida State star was the Atlanta Falcons' first-round pick in the 1995 draft and won a Super Bowl with the St. Louis Rams. Before joining the Michigan staff in 2016, he was the head coach at Flanagan High School in Pembroke Pines, Florida, which won a state title with his son, Josh Metellus and Devin Gil on the team. All three players signed with the Wolverines.

Devin Bush Sr. will join former U-M assistant Chris Partridge at Ole Miss. Partridge, the former safeties and special teams coach, left for the Rebels in early January.
