Overview
- Kiffin said the defining trait of a top job now is NIL capacity and how a program’s collective operates, not facilities or practice fields.
- Sportsbooks and prediction markets have shifted toward Kiffin as Florida’s likely hire, with reported odds moving from +200 to negative figures in early November.
- Ole Miss is 9-1 and No. 6 in the CFP rankings, and players, including receiver Cayden Lee, said they are ignoring speculation and focusing on this week’s Florida game.
- Reporting indicates he has not signed a voluntary long-term extension at Ole Miss, while at least one outlet says a contractual clause triggered a one-year add-on after the seventh win.
- Kiffin added that traditional powers still hold edges with stadium size, traditions, Heisman history and proximity to talent despite NIL-era changes.
