On Black Friday, Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss football squad secured an Egg Bowl triumph against Mississippi State.

Now it's decision time: Will he stay or will he go?

Kiffin could continue on as the Rebels' head coach.

He could also leave and coach LSU.

The initial indication was that Kiffin would reach a decision by Friday, but that no longer seems to be the situation.

When is Lane Kiffin expected to reveal his choice?

Kiffin told reporters after Friday's game that he'll decide on Saturday what he's going to do.

Ole Miss athletic director Keith Carter and chancellor Glenn Boyce have signaled that this is their desired deadline for a resolution.

"Yeah, I haven't (made up my mind)," Kiffin said. "Maybe that surprises you. But, you know, I've got to do some praying and figure this thing out."

Kiffin had different priorities initially. His son, Knox Kiffin, was scheduled to play quarterback for Oxford High School in a playoff match on Friday evening.

"Tonight, I'm going to go be a dad and watch a more important game to me," Kiffin said.

Kiffin added that he's not sure exactly when on Saturday it'll happen.

"It's a hard decision," he said. "You guys have them all the time. You've gotta make decisions about jobs you take and where you move, and we get paid a lot so I understand we're under a lot of spotlight and scrutiny."

Kiffin's decision will certainly have a domino effect, one way or the other.
