Report: Lane Kiffin 'On the Verge' of Agreeing to Contract as New Ole Miss HC

Lane Kiffin, who was formerly the offensive coordinator for the Alabama Crimson Tide, is reportedly close to headed back to the SEC.

According to Dan Wolken of USA Today, Ole Miss is "on the verge" of finalizing a deal with the Florida Atlantic head coach.

Bruce Feldman of The Athletic added that he has "emerged as the top target."

This comes after the Florida Atlantic coach was seen as a candidate for multiple SEC spots. Spencer Elliott of The Tennessean (h/t USA Today) noted he was "connected" to Arkansas after the Razorbacks fired Chad Morris following a 4-18 tenure and Ole Miss after the Rebels fired Matt Luke following a 15-21 tenure.
