Forde-Yard Dash: Inside Lane Kiffin’s High-Stakes Week and Other Carousel Implications

Lane Kiffin, head coach at Ole Miss, faces a critical week as his team prepares for the Egg Bowl against Mississippi State, amid swirling rumors about his potential departure. Kiffin's family was seen boarding flights to both LSU and Florida, fueling speculation about his future and creating distractions for the team. Ole Miss, currently 10-1, is vying for a spot in the College Football Playoff, making the upcoming game a must-win for maintaining their playoff hopes and Kiffin’s standing with fans.

Meanwhile, Florida State has decided to retain head coach Mike Norvell, despite the team's struggles over the past two seasons. Norvell's tenure has been marked by a 7-17 record since the last ACC title, and the decision to keep him is largely due to his $60 million buyout. This move reflects broader financial constraints faced by schools like Wisconsin, Maryland, and Baylor, which are opting to keep their current coaches rather than pay hefty buyouts.
