Ole Miss football is being quite generous and giving Lane Kiffin all the time he needs to think about his future options which does not include them.
Not issuing an ultimatum either, as the rumor had it, suggests Ole Miss's stance on the fever-pitch rumors: they're not pushing it, yet.
They do expect some clarity by Egg Bowl, but the real question is, will it be too late by then? Especially speaking in terms of College Football Playoff?
After waiting for 12 long seasons, there is a chance that the committee might not like a Kiffin-less Ole Miss playing in the Playoff.
