Kiffin to sign contract extension with Ole Miss

After a rollercoaster past few weeks, from false reports to subtle hints, Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin will not be leaving Oxford this offseason.

Kiffin had been rumored to be Auburn’s top target to fill their head coaching position since they fired Bryan Harsin in October.

The Rebels haven’t won a game since Oct. 29 at Texas A&M and three-straight losses to close out their regular season to Alabama, Arkansas and Mississippi State may have hinted that the team seemed checked out or maybe even distracted with Kiffin’s name tied to Auburn.

Despite all the speculation, Kiffin had repeatedly stated that he planned to stay with the Rebels next season.
