Booger McFarland: Ole Miss should allow Lane Kiffin to coach College Football Playoff if he leaves

Ole Miss defeated Mississippi State 38-19 in the Egg Bowl, securing a spot in the College Football Playoff. The team's participation in the postseason, however, is clouded by uncertainty surrounding head coach Lane Kiffin's future. Ole Miss athletic director Keith Carter is expected to announce Kiffin's plans on Saturday. Speculation arises that Kiffin might leave to coach at LSU, raising questions about whether he will be allowed to coach Ole Miss in the CFP if he departs.

ESPN analyst Booger McFarland argues that Kiffin should be allowed to coach in the playoff, citing his longstanding dedication to the team. Kiffin's leadership has brought Ole Miss notable success, including the school's first CFP appearance and an 11-win regular season. Despite the speculation, Kiffin was seen embracing Ole Miss chancellor Glenn Boyce after the recent victory, and reports indicate the school will match any offer Kiffin receives.
