Summary

As of November 11th, 2025, Ole Miss Rebels head coach Lane Kiffin has his team sitting pretty for the College Football Playoff. With only two games remaining and just one loss, the Rebels are currently seeded fifth if the season ended today.
However, despite the continued speculation around Kiffin's future, the 50-year-old coach has made it clear he's not looking to leave Ole Miss in the near term. Kiffin addressed the rumors, saying he's "not that far down the road" and that coaches are typically only a few weeks away from coaching for their own job.
The reason for Kiffin's apparent contentment at Ole Miss goes beyond just the team's success on the field. The coach has reconciled with his wife Layla, and the family has settled into a comfortable life in Oxford, Mississippi. Their youngest child, son Knox, is excelling at the local high school with aspirations of playing quarterback in the SEC, though not for his father.
