LSU Flies Lane Kiffin’s Family In as Ole Miss Demands Answer on Coach’s Future

Ole Miss has pressed for a decision this week before the Egg Bowl.

Overview

  • LSU arranged a private plane Monday to bring members of Lane Kiffin’s family to Baton Rouge after a Sunday stop in Gainesville, according to reports from The Advocate and others.
  • Both LSU and Florida have targeted Kiffin for their vacancies, even as his 10-1 Ole Miss team is off this week and tracking toward its first College Football Playoff berth.
  • Ole Miss athletic director Keith Carter is seeking clarity on Kiffin’s plans this week with a requested answer before the Egg Bowl, per On3 reporting.
  • On3 reports the Rebels could evaluate whether Kiffin would coach in the postseason if no resolution is reached, a scenario that has been debated by commentators.
  • Kiffin deflected speculation after beating Florida, saying he loves what Ole Miss is doing, while reporting notes concerns about LSU’s political infighting and buyout dispute as factors in his decision.
