CFP insider reveals Lane Kiffin to LSU update that's hardly surprising anymore

Today is the day Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin finally answers the million-dollar, or more precisely, a $100 million question: Will it be LSU or Ole Miss.

Most odds and predictions point to Kiffin taking the LSU job, which comes with $25 million in NIL. Ole Miss is ready to offer Kiffin a contract in the same range, but the decision has been resting entirely upon Kiffin.

His hesitance to confirm his loyalty to Ole Miss even when the rumors swept over college football is the top reason to believe he is going to Baton Rouge.

Lane Kiffin to LSU almost confirmed

CFB analyst Bruce Feldman's insider report just further confirmed the speculation that is almost an accepted yet unannounced thing in Oxford by now.

"LSU has offered Lane Kiffin a 7-year deal in the neighborhood of $100 million. Expect him to announce his decision later today," Feldman said on Big Noon Kickoff.

"I talked to LSU sources this morning, and they are very confident that Lane Kiffin is going to come to Baton Rouge and accept this Tigers job."

"Ole Miss has done everything it can to keep him, and obviously, there's an emotional piece to this that he would get to coach his team in the Playoff. But the lure of going to LSU and taking over a program that's won three national titles with three different head coaches over the last 20 years, and to be able to physically go toe-to-toe with Georgia and Alabama in the SEC may be too tempting to pass up."

"LSU folks think it will be. But, as you know, this is Lane Kiffin we're talking about, and you never really know what he's going to do, until he does it."

That's true, because even after all the drama, practically leaving everyone at Ole Miss on pins and needles for the past few months, Kiffin could still go up on the stage, and announce that he will be staying at Ole Miss — just a possibility that would erupt into a different kind of outrage in the Grove.
