Overview

  • At his Monday availability, Kiffin declined to discuss his future and said it is very important to finish the season coaching Ole Miss in the Egg Bowl.
  • Athletic director Keith Carter said the school expects to announce Kiffin’s future on Nov. 29, the day after the rivalry game.
  • Multiple reports say LSU is preparing a seven-year offer in the $90–$98 million range with about $25 million in annual roster-NIL funding, with Florida and Ole Miss positioned to match comparable packages.
  • Analysts and insiders, including Joel Klatt and Josh Pate, now describe LSU as the perceived frontrunner, while stressing that Kiffin has not signaled a final decision.
  • Quarterback Trinidad Chambliss told fans the Rebels are locked in this week, even as a separate report claims some players are unhappy with the ongoing circus and family visits to Baton Rouge and Gainesville have been noted.
