Lane Kiffin's Future: Ole Miss, LSU, or Florida Payday?
19 Nov
Summary
- Kiffin set for $11 million annual salary on his next contract.
- LSU might offer 'at least' $13 million plus $30 million NIL.
- Ole Miss coach facing deadline to decide future by November 28.
Ole Miss football coach Lane Kiffin is reportedly in line for a substantial salary increase, with his next contract expected to secure at least $11 million per year. This lucrative deal is anticipated regardless of whether he remains with the Rebels or accepts an offer from LSU or Florida. Reports indicate that LSU is prepared to offer a significantly higher package, potentially exceeding $13 million annually alongside substantial NIL and roster-building funds.
While Kiffin's current deal with Ole Miss runs through 2031, he has been consistently linked to job openings at Florida and LSU. Despite these rumors and Ole Miss's successful 10-1 season, Kiffin has expressed contentment in Oxford but has not definitively committed to staying beyond 2026. The coach has previously downplayed the influence of money on his decisions.
Recent reports suggest Ole Miss is applying pressure for Kiffin to make a decision soon, with a reported ultimatum deadline of November 28, though Kiffin has denied this. Athletic director Keith Carter has also reportedly requested a decision by the upcoming weekend. This push for an answer comes as Ole Miss is on track for its first-ever College Football Playoff appearance, making Kiffin's choice critical.
