Lane Kiffin coaching rumors: Ole Miss AD reveals decision will come day after Egg Bowl
As rumors swirl around Lane Kiffin’s coaching future, Ole Miss is expecting a decision after the Egg Bowl, according to AD Keith Carter. The two sides met Friday, as On3’s Pete Nakos previously reported.
“Coach Kiffin and I have had many pointed and positive conversations regarding his future at Ole Miss, including meeting today with Chancellor Boyce,” Carter wrote in a statement. “While we discuss next steps, we know we cannot lose sight of what is most important – our sixth-ranked team that is poised to finish the regular season in historic fashion.
“Despite the outside noise, Coach Kiffin is focused on preparing our team for the Egg Bowl, and together, we want to ensure that our players and coaches can concentrate fully on next 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.”
