Overview
- LSU continues to vet sitting Power Four head coaches and is weighing late‑season results while no hire has been announced.
- CBS Sports reports Florida and LSU view Lane Kiffin as a top target, with confidence wavering in his staying at Ole Miss even as some sources still expect him to remain.
- Ole Miss moved to 10‑1 after beating Florida, positioning the Rebels for the College Football Playoff and potentially slowing any decision from Kiffin that could shape the carousel.
- The CBS report notes Kiffin has questions about LSU’s political environment following recent turmoil, including the governor’s involvement and the Brian Kelly buyout dispute.
- Week 12 check‑ins: Georgia Tech’s Brent Key reached 9‑1, Missouri’s Eli Drinkwitz improved to 7‑3, Tulane’s Jon Sumrall moved to 8‑2, Arizona State’s Kenny Dillingham hit 7‑3, while Louisville under Jeff Brohm and USF under Alex Golesh took losses.
