Update for 11/17/25 Added update Kiffin to sign contract with LSU 5:02 p.m. Deal done

Knox to Uhigh is real with him enrolling after Thanksgiving break as an NIL offer was presented to the family that wasn't matched from a competing high school in the Baton Rouge area.

Kiffin, Layla, Landry, Knox, and Sexton are currently at LSU looking over the contract which should be finalized in the next 48 hours. With agreement in place he wouldn't coach Ole Miss in the Egg Bowl or the playoff run.

Keeping Baker and defensive staff is top priority from LSU in the agreement with a yearly salary of 13.5 million.

Will update once I get more information. Unless it falls apart last minute Lane is our next head coach.

*I will put a ban bet on it again*

2:50 p.m. UPDATE

LSU is allowing Kiffin to make all staff changes with no promises for defensive staff. Sexton used Florida to get the extra pay bump from LSU as Lane was going to take the LSU deal all along. Ole Miss and LSU were the only real options but within the last 24 hours things really turned in Oxford with the demands to sign his extension or walk. Contract will be signed today with Lane not leaving BR until it's final.

Update 5:02

Deal done press release shortly with a press conference coming from Lane scheduled for tomorrow.
