The college football news cycle over the past week or so has been dominated by the ongoing saga surrounding current Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin and which team he will end up leading come next season.
In addition to the Rebels, who are currently a single win away from the College Football Playoff, Kiffin also reportedly has very enticing offers on the table from both LSU and Florida, which he is considering.
Former Notre Dame quarterback and current Fox Sports analyst chimed in on the entire situation during FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff on Saturday morning, and asked the question Rebels fans everywhere have had on their minds the past few weeks.
“I think that he’s been incredible at Ole Miss,” Quinn said. “He’s built up that program, 3 10-win seasons in a row now. You look at Florida and you’re like, ‘Ok, there’s some dysfunction there.’ You’re not going to surpass what Urban (Meyer) has done there. You go to LSU, the governor gets involved, there’s politics involved, and all of that, and it just feels messy. Why not just stay at Ole Miss? Why not become a legend there? Why not Ole Miss?”
Kiffin has certainly built the Rebels into an SEC power during his time in Oxford, but only time will tell if that will be enough to overcome the lure of the historic successes the Gators and Bayou Bengals have had over the years.
