Lane Kiffin reveals he is still undecided on his future at Ole Miss after Egg Bowl win

Lane Kiffin admitted after the Egg Bowl that he had not made up his mind about his future at Ole Miss. The Rebels beat Mississippi State 38-19 Friday afternoon to finish the regular season 11-1 and all but lock up a spot in the College Football Playoff for the first time.

“No, I haven’t (made up my mind),” Kiffin told ESPN’s Taylor McGregor on the broadcast. “I’ve got a lot of praying to do to figure that out tomorrow, but right now, I’m just going to go enjoy these players. I told them last night, you’re going to win your 11th game, and all I want to do is experience joy watching you, and that’s what I’m about to do.”

Kiffin and Ole Miss controlled Friday’s game from the get-go, which makes his impending decision all the more anxiety-filled for those in Oxford. Earlier in the day, On3’s Chris Low reported it’s down between staying at Ole Miss or going to LSU for Kiffin.

But Kiffin kept the focus on the current team and winning as they could still get into the SEC Championship game by day’s end. They need losses by Texas A&M and Alabama to get to Atlanta.

Lane Kiffin still undecided after Egg Bowl

“Well, I think it’s an unbelievable job by these players,” Kiffin said postgame. “You know, we only returned two starters from last year. We were picked, I think, ninth or something in the conference. So for these guys to overcome adversity throughout the years, throughout the year, play really well, like they played a great second half today.

“So I’m just really happy for our fans, for our players, and you know, all the stuff they’ve done with all week, from outside people saying that they were distracting to his noise. And this is what these guys do. They’ve been dealing there for a long time. So I think it actually brings them together, and they play like that because of all the stuff outside.”

Kiffin led Ole Miss to 11 regular season wins for the first time in program history. Their next game could be the SEC Championship Game or even a home CFP game in the first round. Either way, Kiffin’s whereabouts will be the most talked-about subject in college football over the next 24 hours.

Ole Miss and Kiffin are expected to have an announcement Saturday, considering he didn’t drop the news on Friday. If he truly is still undecided, buckle up for another wild day.
