Lane Kiffin's future hangs in doubt after meeting with Ole Miss brass

Lane Kiffin's future as the head coach of Ole Miss remains uncertain following a lengthy meeting with university administrators, despite an attractive offer from LSU. The meeting, involving Kiffin, Ole Miss Athletic Director Keith Carter, and Chancellor Glenn Boyce, lasted over three hours. LSU has extended a $90-plus million offer to Kiffin, which would make him one of the highest-paid coaches in college football.

LSU plans to send planes to Oxford to facilitate Kiffin's move, according to sources. The situation has prompted Ole Miss to explore other coaching candidates, including Tulane’s Jon Sumrall and USF’s Alex Golesh. Sumrall is reportedly close to finalizing a deal with Florida.
