"In a post on his X account, Kiffin encouraged everyone to "have the best Tuesday ever" and included a photo of a page from Brianna Wiest's self-development book, "The Pivot Year: 365 Days to Become the Person You Truly Want to Be." "How do you know what to do next?" the passage said. "You ask yourself, honestly, what your 90-year-old self would advise you to do. What they would have wished you had done. You ask yourself, honestly, what you've sensed from the beginning. What you have ignored, what you have quieted and distracted yourself from.""
"That is the dilemma 50-year-old Kiffin is facing. He has two potential paths. Stay at the university in the small Southern town with the small stadium (64,038) and small (but growing) trophy case that gave him a second chance in big-time college football when most others wouldn't. Or take a job at a bigger university with a bigger stadium in a bigger city that might provide him with a better opportunity to win an SEC title and national championship."
Kiffin posted an inspirational passage from Brianna Wiest after reports surfaced that members of his family had visited Florida and LSU. The passage advises weighing long-term advice from a future self and comparing positives and negatives before choosing a path. Kiffin, 50, confronts two options: remain at Ole Miss, a smaller program that restored his reputation and keeps family close, or accept a job at a larger university in a bigger city that could offer a stronger chance at an SEC title and a national championship. The choice centers on identity and career priorities.
