Lane Kiffin Denies Ole Miss Ultimatum as School Pushes for Clarity

ESPN says the school has pressed for a decision by this weekend to plan for the postseason.

Overview

  • On ESPN’s Pat McAfee Show, Kiffin said reports of a Nov. 28 deadline are “absolutely not true.”
  • ESPN and CBS Sports report Ole Miss officials have asked Kiffin and agent Jimmy Sexton to provide an answer by this weekend to guide postseason planning.
  • Multiple outlets report Kiffin’s ex-wife, son and other family members visited Gainesville on Sunday and Baton Rouge on Monday, though Kiffin did not join the trips.
  • On Wednesday’s SEC teleconference, Kiffin declined to address other jobs and deflected questions about coaching the Egg Bowl.
  • Ole Miss is 10-1 and near a College Football Playoff berth, and sources say the school is willing to match outside offers and has weighed interim options such as Pete Golding or Joe Judge if a pre-postseason transition occurs.
