Lane Kiffin’s family members reportedly visited Gainesville, Baton Rouge amid coaching rumors
Published:
Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin reportedly is still weighing his options as he approaches a potential crossroads in the coming weeks.
With LSU and Florida both having vacant head coaching positions, Kiffin has been discussed as a potential candidate for both of those jobs. Kiffin is on the cusp of leading Ole Miss to its first-ever College Football Playoff berth this season.
According to On3’s Pete Nakos, things seem to have escalated. Per the report, members of Kiffin’s family visited Gainesville on Sunday and Baton Rouge on Monday.
The Advocate’s Wilson Alexander also reported on Monday that LSU arranged for members of Kiffin’s family to fly from Oxford to Baton Rouge.
It’s unclear at this time whether Kiffin would prefer the Florida job or the LSU job, should he decide to leave Ole Miss.
After the game on Saturday night, Kiffin declined to say whether he expected to be the Ole Miss head coach next season.
“I love what we’re doing here,” Kiffin said after Ole Miss’s 34-24 win over Florida. “Today was awesome. I don’t talk about that stuff. And really, to even talk about it right now would be disrespectful to our players and how well they played today.”
Kiffin has been the head coach at Ole Miss since the start of the 2020. As of publication, Kalshi markets have priced Kiffin as the favorite to be the next head coach at both Florida and LSU.
