Greg McElroy Predicts Lane Kiffin's Next Move, LSU Football 'Plan B' If Needed

The LSU Tigers are actively searching for a new head football coach after firing Brian Kelly in late October. Kelly, who led the team to a 34-14 record over nearly four seasons, was dismissed following a loss to Texas A&M. Athletic Director Verge Ausberry is leading the search, with Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin as the top candidate. LSU and Florida are both interested in Kiffin, who is known for his success at Ole Miss and previous coaching stints. ESPN's Greg McElroy predicts Kiffin will become LSU's next head coach, citing his effective use of the transfer portal and ability to attract top talent. If LSU does not secure Kiffin, McElroy suggests Eli Drinkwitz from Missouri as a potential alternative, noting his strong offensive strategies and successful defense at Missouri.
