We’re in Day 6 of the heated up Lane Kiffin coaching search saga involving Florida, LSU and Ole Miss football.
But this day is different because there is a pause.
Ole Miss athletic director Keith Carter announced Nov. 21 that Kiffin would coach the Rebels in the Egg Bowl and a decision on the coach’s future is expected Nov. 29, the day after the game with Mississippi State.
The Rebels (10-1, 6-1 SEC) are ranked No. 6 and in the nation and in excellent position to make the College Football Playoff for the first time.
Ole Miss has an open week before the Egg Bowl on Nov. 28 (11 a.m. CT, ABC).
Here are the latest updates, news and rumors for Rebels, Gators and Tigers fans.

What is Lane Kiffin’s contract, salary?
Ole Miss’ win against Oklahoma on Oct. 25 triggered an automatic contract extension for Kiffin.
Because it was Ole Miss‘ seventh regular-season win, Kiffin’s state contract with the Ole Miss Athletic Foundation will be automatically extended one year on Jan. 1, 2026. His contract now runs through Dec. 31, 2031.
The added year will be worth $9 million, with $7.2 million guaranteed.
Kiffin’s $9 million salary is tied for No. 6 in the SEC.
Lane Kiffin buyout
As of Dec. 1, 2025, if Ole Miss fires Kiffin without cause, he would be set to receive $36.6 million.
It is the 15th-most expensive buyout of the 105 programs USA TODAY Sports could review, and No. 7 in the SEC.
