Lane Kiffin, Head Coach of the Mississippi Rebels, talks to Molly McGrath, ESPN Sideline Reporter, during warm-ups before the college football game against the Louisiana State Tigers at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium on September 27, 2025 in Oxford, Mississippi.

Overview

  • Lane Kiffin is set to meet Friday with Ole Miss athletic director Keith Carter after denying reports that the school issued him a pre–Egg Bowl ultimatum.
  • Kiffin said he will coach the regular-season finale, tweeting "See you in Starkville" ahead of the Nov. 28 Egg Bowl.
  • CBS Sports reported LSU is open to bringing former Tigers head coach Ed Orgeron onto Kiffin’s staff if Kiffin takes the LSU job.
  • A former CFP selection committee member told On3 that if Ole Miss loses its head coach before final seeding, the Rebels could be dropped in the bracket order, though not excluded.
  • Ole Miss is 10-1 and No. 6 in the CFP rankings as speculation builds with reported family visits to Florida and LSU and new social posts showing Kiffin in Dallas and tagging SMU.
