The 1974 Ole Miss Rebels football team represented the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) in the 1974 NCAA Division I football season.[1] The Rebels were led by first-year head coach Ken Cooper and played their home games at Hemingway Stadium in Oxford, Mississippi and Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium in Jackson. The team competed as a member of the Southeastern Conference, finishing in last. The Rebels opened the season with an upset of Missouri,[2] but the rest of the season went very poorly, as the team went winless in conference play and finished with a record of 3–8, the school's first losing season since 1949.
