Brian Kelly is out at LSU and Lane Kiffin is the hottest coach in the country. 

Can Ole Miss keep him in Oxford? Or will SEC contemporaries like Florida or LSU make offers he can’t refuse?

“I have never made a decision based off of money, nor will I,” Kiffin told ESPN’s Pat McAfee on Monday. “A lot of people, they’ll say ‘Money, it does this, it does that.’ I’ve seen too many examples in life where money does not buy happiness. I am never going to make a decision over money, nor do I care about it. 

“Jimmy Sexton [his agent] gets really mad when I say that. ‘We gotta get this, we gotta get this.’ I’m like, ‘Jimmy, I don’t care.’ He goes, ‘I do!’”
