Even though Ole Miss has the weekend off, the eyes of the college football world are on their head coach, Lane Kiffin. They’re awaiting his decision on whether he will remain in Oxford or whether he will go to LSU or Florida, should either school offer him their vacant coaching positions. Christopher Boan with Bookies.com says as of right now, the odds favor him not needing a real estate agent.
“It’s probably 50% that he stays at Ole Miss, 25% he goes to LSU, maybe 20% he goes to Florida,” Boan said.
Kiffin and Ole Miss Athletic Director Keith Carter are scheduled to meet this morning, and Boan says Ole Miss will pull out all the stops to keep Kiffin in Oxford.
“So LSU’s a heck of a job, and LSU is the crème de la crème of jobs that are out there. Ole Miss has said they can match whatever offers come out for Lane Kiffin’s services. From Florida, from LSU, from anybody,” Boan explained.
Boan says if LSU fails to land Kiffin, one name that’s been floating around in Tigerland is that of another SEC head coach, Eli Drinkwitz of Missouri.
“He’s young. He’s hungry. He clearly shows he can win at a place like Missouri, where we’ve seen careers come to end very quickly since that SEC move,” Boan noted.
