Lane Kiffin Denies Ultimatum, Keeps Future Unclear at Ole Miss

Ole Miss leaders are pressing for an answer on his plans during the team’s bye week.

Overview

  • On ESPN’s Pat McAfee Show, Kiffin called reports of an Egg Bowl–week decision deadline “absolutely not true.”
  • During Wednesday’s SEC coaches teleconference, he declined to address links to LSU or Florida and would not discuss the possibility of leaving before the postseason.
  • ESPN and CBS Sports report Ole Miss officials, including AD Keith Carter, are seeking clarity by this weekend and have been negotiating with agent Jimmy Sexton.
  • Multiple outlets report Kiffin’s family visited Gainesville and Baton Rouge on school-facilitated trips, and coverage notes political turbulence complicating LSU’s search.
  • Ole Miss is 10-1, ranked in the top seven, on a bye before the Nov. 28 Egg Bowl, and the program’s College Football Playoff push heightens the urgency around his status.
