Most recent update from Rebels247 staff member makes LSU/Kiffin seem likely

Our sourcing Thursday was pushing us in the direction of believing the most likely outcome to this saga is Kiffin leaving Ole Miss for LSU. LSU boosters were very confident late Thursday. Major donors can be wrong (see last week, Florida), but that type of confidence from heavy hitters usually needs to be taken into consideration. Two sources familiar with LSU’s thinking said Thursday they believe Kiffin will be in Baton Rouge as LSU’s coach a week from Saturday.

Throw in Matt Zenitz’s post on X Thursday saying “If/when Lane Kiffin is hired as LSU’s head coach, LSU is open to former Tigers head coach Ed Orgeron being part of Kiffin’s staff, sources tell CBSSports,” was also interesting. Zenitz is excellent and that “If/when” wording was intentional.

Another media source, one typically tied in to and accurate as it pertains to Kiffin, told me earlier Thursday the lure of the LSU program, when it comes down to a decision, is simply going to be too strong.

Will anything happen today? That’s unclear. One source said today could be “explosive,” and I have no real reason to dispute that.
