TL;DR

  • Lane Kiffin seen in Gainesville Sunday, then flown to Baton Rouge Monday for a city tour.
  • Kiffin is reportedly the top candidate for both LSU and Florida coaching positions.
  • Ole Miss has given Kiffin seven days to confirm his intentions to stay in Oxford.
  • Kiffin expressed love for Ole Miss but is reportedly weighing offers from other schools.

Lane Kiffin rumors are starting to heat up again, when confirmation that a plane was seen leaving Baton Rouge, Louisiana, for Oxford, Mississippi Monday

It comes on the heels of a report that Kiffin and his family were seen in Gainesville on Sunday.

It's no secret that Kiffin is the top candidate for both LSU and Florida, and it seems neither school is wasting time trying to get to him first. 

Kiffin, accompanied by some family members, was reportedly flown to Baton Rouge on Monday for a city tour, after being observed in Gainesville the previous Sunday.

When questioned about his future following the Rebels' victory against the Florida Gators on Saturday, Kiffin attempted to evade inquiries.

"I love what we're doing here," Kiffin said postgame when asked about his future at Ole Miss. "Today was awesome. To even talk about it right now would be so disrespectful to our players and how well they played today. We've got a lot of things going here. Doing really well, and I love it here."

After learning he's been weighing offers from both institutions, Ole Miss has given Kiffin a seven-day period to confirm his intention to stay in Oxford, as reported by The Athletic. 

It seems as if the school has no intention of sitting around and waiting to see if Kiffin is going to leave or stay, and is forcing his hand one way or another.

But as of now, it seems as if Kiffin may be leaving Oxford soon, the question is, for which school?
