You\u2019d think <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2025\/11\/28\/sports\/lane-kiffin-confronts-reporter-who-called-him-a-ho-after-ole-miss-win-in-wild-scene\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the media discussions surrounding this team<\/a> would be about the fantastic work Kiffin has done to build up this program to become a national title contender. Still, all anyone can talk about is where Kiffin will be residing next year.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a real shame, because this Ole Miss team is one of the most fun teams to watch in the country. College football needs a total overhaul in the NIL era. National Signing Day and the transfer portal need to open after the national championship. Teams shouldn\u2019t be punished for succeeding in the regular season.<\/p>\n<p>The current landscape of college football leaves Ole Miss in a precarious situation. The writing seems to be on the wall that Kiffin will be coaching at LSU next season. Florida has taken their name out of the Kiffin sweepstakes and has moved on to pursuing Tulane\u2019s Jon Sumrall (great choice), so unless <a href=\"https:\/\/deadspin.com\/lane-kiffin-rumors-the-case-for-staying-at-ole-miss-over-florida-or-lsu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kiffin shocks the world and stays at Ole Miss<\/a>, he will most likely be coaching in Baton Rouge in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Kiffin\u2019s decision is expected before the playoffs, and if he leaves Ole Miss, the Rebels will have some decisions to make. They can let Kiffin coach the rest of the season, where he could take them on a deep playoff run, or they can let the rest of the coaching staff finish off the year. Personally, if Kiffin leaves, how could you possibly let him coach?<\/p>\n<p>Leaving for an in-conference rival will <a href=\"https:\/\/deadspin.com\/three-college-football-teams-facing-most-pressure-in-rivalry-week\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">forever ruin Lane Kiffin\u2019s reputation<\/a> in Oxford. Secondly, if the Rebels go on a little run in the playoffs, doesn\u2019t that beat the whole point of him leaving Ole Miss? Administration for Ole Miss has been very vocal that they will match any contract thrown Kiffin\u2019s way; he\u2019d only leave because he believes he can\u2019t win a championship at a smaller SEC school.<\/p>\n<p>Outside of Ohio State, Ole Miss can compete with every team in the playoffs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If he leaves a situation where he is on track to be the best coach in the program&#8217;s history, it will be a massive mistake. Ask Brian Kelly if he was happy to leave Notre Dame. The grass isn\u2019t always greener on the other side, and when you have the situation Kiffin does at Ole Miss, I wouldn\u2019t want to leave that behind.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss topped off an 11-1 season with a massive rivalry win in the Egg Bowl against Mississippi State.\u00a0 The Rebels will most likely miss the SEC&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":6911,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[35,7996,7995,5545,7709,1142],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.5 -
