Lane Kiffin Says He Anticipates Being Ole Miss HC Next Season Despite Auburn Rumors

Despite rumors that Lane Kiffin would step down to take over at Auburn as soon as Friday, the Ole Miss head coach has maintained he isn't planning to leave.

Kiffin also responded to the reports of his reportedly imminent departure earlier in the week:

No. 20 Ole Miss fell to Mississippi State on Thursday in the Egg Bowl, 24-22, dropping to 8-4 after a promising 7-0 start.

Kiffin, who has been at the helm for Ole Miss since 2020, is 23-12 during his tenure.

While the Auburn head-coaching gig carries more prestige, it doesn't sound as though Kiffin plans to leave Ole Miss any time soon. Whether that's posturing until the season ends or a legitimate stance remains to be seen.
