Overview

  • Kiffin is viewed by ESPN college football analyst Josh Pate as open to an NFL return, according to comments on The Colin Cowherd Podcast.
  • Media have repeatedly linked the New York Giants to Kiffin due to his connection with rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, with the Titans also mentioned as a potential fit.
  • Ole Miss is 9-1 this season and Kiffin is 53-19 at the school, strengthening his market profile during a crowded coaching cycle.
  • Florida and LSU are among SEC programs reported to have interest, though forecasts like PennLive’s suggestion of Kiffin to Florida are opinion-based and unconfirmed.
  • No NFL offer or decision has been announced, and the timing of likely NFL openings in early January could shape college searches if Kiffin engages.
