Ole Miss’ Lane Kiffin, UF’s top target, in unenviable position amid ‘systematical problem’

GAINESVILLE — Ole Miss’ Lane Kiffin is the hottest coach on the market and a case study.

Florida’s top target to replace Billy Napier has to decide among the Gators, LSU and his No. 6 Rebels (10-1) while also preparing them for a critical Nov. 28 visit to rival Mississippi State to continue Ole Miss’ push for bid to the 12-team CFP.

The complicated dynamic has created conflict with his current school and within Kiffin himself as he juggles a life-changing decision with unprecedented success Oxford. He likened the situation to players entering the transfer portal when it opened up as their teams were still competing in the postseason.
