Ole Miss is preparing for its Thursday rivalry clash with Mississippi State, and head coach Lane Kiffin reportedly assured his players they don't have to worry about any coaching rumors as they do so.
According to Chris Low of ESPN, Kiffin met with the team Tuesday and told them he has not accepted a job elsewhere.
That is notable considering Jon Sokoloff of WCBI News reported Monday that Kiffin is planning to step down as Ole Miss' head coach on Friday to take the helm at Auburn.
