Those awaiting an update on Lane Kiffin’s Ole Miss standing must wait just just a little longer.
The Rebels coach, the topic of never-ending faculty soccer headlines and updates as a possible candidate for the LSU and Florida openings, reportedly met with Ole Miss brass on Friday, however neither facet will spill any beans until after the Nov. 28 Egg Bowl matchup with Mississippi State.
“Coach Kiffin and I have had may pointed and positive conversations regarding his future at Ole Miss, including meeting today with Chancellor Boyce,” vice chancellor for intercollegiate athletics Keith Carter said in an announcement Friday. “While we talk about next steps, we all know we can’t lose sight of what’s transfer important — our sixth-ranked team that is pointed to complete the common season in historic style.

“Despite the outside noise, Coach Kiffin is focused on preparing our team for the Egg Bowl, and together, we want to ensure that our player and coaches can concentrate fully on next’s Friday’s game. This team is on the cusp of an unprecedented season, and it’s imperative they feel the support of the Ole Miss family in the week ahead. An announcement on Coach Kiffin’s future is expected the Saturday following the game.”
The promise of addressing the omnipresent rumors in per week seemingly gained’t cease every tidbit, morsel and social media dispatch from being dissected until then.

This 12 months, he’s guided the Rebels to a 10-1 start, good for sixth in the latest College Football Playoff rankings, and third in the SEC at 6-1.
It’s no surprise LSU and Florida reportedly flew his household out for campus excursions, though Kiffin has grown more and more loath to deal with the rising gossip, even getting feisty during this week’s SEC teleconference name.
“I’m gonna stay on what I’ve done for six years, which isn’t talking about other jobs and that situation,” Kiffin said after repeated inquiries over his Mississippi future.
“Do you know something I don’t know?” he requested one reporter. “Do I expect to coach next week? Why would I not expect to coach next week? I mean, I expected to coach against Florida, too. So I don’t even understand the question of how I would not expect to coach next week? ‘Why would I be at work?’”
