LSU Plans to Hire Lane Kiffin, Sending Planes for His Family
In a significant development for college football, LSU is reportedly moving swiftly to secure Lane Kiffin as their next head coach. According to Yahoo! Sports’ Ross Dellenger, following LSU’s recent matchup against Oklahoma, the university has arranged for two planes to transport Kiffin and his family from Oxford. The negotiations appear to be well underway, with LSU officials expressing confidence in Kiffin’s commitment, despite a few hurdles.
Kiffin, the current head coach of No. 6 Ole Miss, is embroiled in discussions with Ole Miss athletic director Keith Carter and chancellor Glenn Boyce, having met with them for over three hours on Saturday. While LSU is eager to finalize the deal, Kiffin’s intention to continue coaching Ole Miss through the postseason complicates matters. After Ole Miss’s 38-19 victory over Mississippi State, Kiffin acknowledged the pressure to announce his future coaching plans by Saturday, noting the less-than-enjoyable nature of such decisions.
Under Kiffin, Ole Miss boasts an impressive 11-1 record and is highly favored to secure a spot in the College Football Playoff, potentially hosting a first-round game. When asked about the likelihood of earning a home playoff game, Kiffin confidently stated, “I would think absolutely,” highlighting the team’s successful season in the competitive SEC. As the situation evolves, college football fans remain on high alert for Kiffin’s next move.
