The number of suitors has narrowed for Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin. Per a report from CBS Sports, momentum to land Kiffin shifted in favor of LSU with Florida falling behind.

A decision will be released after Ole Miss plays Mississippi State at the earliest, per a statement from Rebels' athletic director Keith Carter. Per CBS Sports, sources close to Kiffin say he's indecisive with decisions of this magnitude.

"According to those who know him well, Kiffin can struggle when making big decisions, which is why so many are hesitant to say definitively what he will do until he signs the contract. As many have pointed out in recent days, it felt like a foregone conclusion at one point that Kiffin was going to take the Auburn job back in 2022 before he ultimately decided to stay in Oxford," CBS's John Talty wrote.

If there's a school that will lure Kiffin away from Oxford at this point, it's LSU. A destination job in the SEC with a storied history of national championships and all the necessary resources is awaiting its next leader and Kiffin may not be able to turn down the offer.

LSU's head coaching job became available after a blowout loss at home to Texas A&M in Week 9. Brian Kelly was dismissed the following day and Frank Wilson has since ascended to the interim role.
