Dunn was promoted on July 13 following the termination of predecessor Billy Brewer, who was cited for numerous NCAA rule violations by Chancellor Gerald Turner and athletic director Warner Alford. The charges were proven true by the NCAA Committee on Infractions in October, leading to severe punishment which included a one-year television ban, a two-year bowl ban, and the loss of 25 total scholarships during the 1995 and 1996 recruiting cycles.

This season was the first since 1963 in which Ole Miss did not play at Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium in Jackson.
