The Lane Kiffin plot continues to thicken

Lane Kiffin's departure from Ole Miss is generating significant attention as his meeting with the team has been postponed by three hours, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., according to CBS Sports. Reports indicate Kiffin plans to bring most of his coaching staff with him, although defensive coordinator Matthew Golding is expected to remain at Ole Miss. The delay is part of a larger conflict involving Kiffin's intentions to finish the season at Mississippi before transitioning to LSU. Ole Miss officials reportedly wish to limit his access to players ahead of the January 2 transfer portal, as any success Kiffin achieves in the College Football Playoff could benefit LSU's recruiting efforts. The situation highlights ongoing issues within the NCAA's system, which allows schools to negotiate with coaches before their seasons conclude.
