Overview

  • The Athletic and On3 report Ole Miss has told Kiffin to decide before the Egg Bowl on Nov. 28, with athletic director Keith Carter seeking a firm answer.
  • Multiple outlets say members of Kiffin’s family visited Gainesville on Sunday and Baton Rouge on Monday, with LSU sending a private plane for the Baton Rouge visit.
  • Following the win over Florida, Kiffin said he loves what Ole Miss is doing and declined to discuss his future, calling such talk disrespectful to his players.
  • Reports indicate Ole Miss is weighing options if there is no resolution, including suspending Kiffin with pay for the postseason or firing him before the College Football Playoff.
  • CBS Sports reports CAA had engaged Ole Miss on an extension, but confidence that Kiffin stays has dipped as Florida and LSU court him during a 10-1 season trending toward a CFP berth.
