"Ole Miss vice chancellor for intercollegiate athletics Keith Carter said Friday an announcement about Kiffin's future will come the day after the No. 6 Rebels play rival Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl in Starkville on Nov. 28. Kiffin, who is in his sixth season at Ole Miss, is reportedly considering job offers at SEC rivals Florida and LSU. The Rebels had offered Kiffin a lengthy extension with a comparable salary the Tigers and Gators are offering him, sources told ESPN."
""Coach Kiffin and I have had many pointed and positive conversations regarding his future at Ole Miss, including meeting today with Chancellor Boyce," Carter said. "While we discuss next steps, we know we cannot lose sight of what is most important-our sixth-ranked team that is poised to finish the regular season in historic fashion." Kiffin, 50, has guided the Rebels to at least 10 victories in four of the past five seasons. He has a 54-19 record at Ole Miss."
"On Sunday, Kiffin's ex-wife, Layla; his son, Knox; and his brother Chris' son visited Gainesville, Florida. Layla and other family members visited the LSU campus in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the next day. With a 10-1 record this season, the Rebels are in position to make their first-ever CFP appearance and possibly host a first-round game at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium on Dec. 19 or 20."
