Lane Kiffin is more likely to leave than not, if you ask me, and if he does go, I think LSU is the favorite to land him after the calls and texts I’ve made today.

Jon Sumrall would be the clear favorite to take over should Ole Miss need to make a move. There’s already been dialogue between the parties. He’d prefer Ole Miss to Auburn.

Kiffin can argue semantically about what a ultimatum is all he wants, but he’s not coaching the College Football Playoff if he’s headed out the door.

Kevin Smith is obvious, but I was told GM Billy Glasscock and assistants Randall Joyner and Charlie Weis would be among the other coaches who’d probably go with him. Pete Golding, Joe Judge, Jake Schoonover and Bryan Brown are among those who’d likely hang around. Actually, there's no likely with Golding. He has a contract unique to Ole Miss and has already told Kiffin twice he won’t be going with him anywhere should he leave.

Angela Kiffin, the wife of Chris, was with Layla and Co. for the Baton Rouge tour. Chris is Lane’s likely DC at his next stop. I assume Joyner would get a Co-DC title in this scenario, but that’s purely speculation on my part.





Chris Kiffin being defensive coordinator when Lane has all the money in the world to hire a top defensive coordinator…

But are there actual pictures of the Kiffins in BR?

None of this is real! We don't have pics!

No way Chris should be DC

He’s an analyst or position coach at best

Chris Kiffin has never been a DC before. Quite a promotion.

You are correct. Weird he went from that to pass rush specialist in NFL and was never a DC again.
