Overview
- Prediction market Kalshi lists Lane Kiffin as the leading candidate for Florida at 45%, ahead of Eliah Drinkwitz at 22%, Jedd Fisch at 17% and Alex Golesh in the trailing tier.
- Kiffin told The Pat McAfee Show that money will not drive his decision and said he has never based career moves on salary, a stance he joked frustrates agent Jimmy Sexton.
- Kirk Herbstreit said Kiffin is not leaving college for the NFL and added that Nick Saban is not returning to coaching from the College GameDay desk.
- On The Ryen Russillo Show, Herbstreit said that in Kiffin’s shoes he might stay at Ole Miss given today’s budget-driven landscape and differing program pressures.
- Herbstreit has called LSU a stronger fit than Penn State due to in-state recruiting control, with Florida and LSU seeking replacements after parting with Billy Napier and Brian Kelly.
