Ole Miss Football head coach Lane Kiffin is leaving Ole Miss to take the head coaching job at LSU.
“After a lot of prayer and time spent with family, I made the difficult decision to accept the head coaching position at LSU,” Kiffin said on X.
Kiffin desired to cap his time at Ole Miss by leading the Rebels through the playoffs, but he says this request was denied by Vice Chancellor for Intercollegiate Athletics Keith Carter. The Egg Bowl, where the Rebels championed a 38-19 victory, on Friday was Kiffin’s last game as Ole Miss Football’s head coach.
