Lane Kiffin hasn’t decided on his Ole Miss future: ‘Have a lot of praying to do’

Whatever Lane Kiffin has to say about his future is seemingly news to him.

The Ole Miss coach, at the center of rumors regarding his future in Oxford for weeks, says he has not made up his mind with a decision slated to be announced Saturday.

“No I haven’t, I have a lot of praying to do to figure that out tomorrow,” he said when asked on the ABC broadcast in the moments after the Rebels’ 38-19 Egg Bowl win over Mississippi State.

“Right now, I’m just gonna go enjoy these players. I told them last night, you’re going to win your 11th game and I want to do is experience the joy watching you and that’s what I’m about to do.”

Heading into the rivalry week matchup, Kiffin had already long been the biggest name attached to rumors around job openings at LSU and Florida.

Florida reportedly moved on in its search to replace Billy Napier, citing “irregular communication” from the coach, per ESPN.

That leaves LSU, which is seeking a new coach after it fired Brian Kelly in October, and reportedly has discussed a seven-year, $90 million deal for Kiffin.

Ole Miss brass has said it would match any offer made to its coach, who has led the Rebels program to its highest College Football Playoff ranking in history.

After Friday’s win, it sits at 11-1 and a reported 99.9% chance of making the postseason.

Whatever celebrations the school and team have planned in the wake up its beatdown of the Bulldogs will eventually be muted by the Kiffin decision the sports world is awaiting.
