Lane Kiffin Denies Ole Miss Ultimatum as Florida, LSU Court Him

Interest from Florida and LSU during Ole Miss's playoff push is increasing pressure for a quick answer.

Overview

  • On ESPN’s Pat McAfee Show, Kiffin said reports he must decide his future by the Nov. 28 Egg Bowl are “absolutely not true.”
  • ESPN reports Ole Miss officials are pressing Kiffin and agent Jimmy Sexton for a resolution by this weekend and have conveyed they would match outside offers.
  • Multiple outlets report Kiffin’s family visited Gainesville on Sunday and Baton Rouge on Monday, with LSU arranging a private plane for the Baton Rouge tour.
  • Ole Miss is 10-1 and can secure a College Football Playoff berth with an Egg Bowl win, positioning the Rebels to potentially host a first-round game.
  • Florida and LSU opened head coach searches after firing Billy Napier and Brian Kelly, and Kiffin is widely reported as a top target, with no final decision announced.
