He'll be able to sign the LSU contract shortly. They're working on a deal to kill some of the money he owes for leaving early in exchange for finishing the regular season. Once that's done he'll be free to sign the contract with LSU. Effective hire date will be Saturday 29th, contract signed by Sunday (23rd). LSU has given him until the end of the weekend to sign the contract before they move on.

Edit: I also know that the SEC office has been involved. I have contacts there.

I know this process has been confusing from the outside looking in. If anything I've been approved to use back channels to calm people down a bit. This whole situation is going to be talked about for years in college sports; going to be used as a hallmark example of why we need more rules around college contracts.

Look at my history, I said on Monday that Kiffin wanted to coach OM through the playoffs, even. Legally it just isn’t possible and there is too much risk to all parties involved.

I agree. Too much water under the bridge to stay now and if he was gonna stay it would’ve been an announced already.

so, how can he sign on the 23rd and still coach on 28th? Ole Miss gonna do an addendum to his current contract to allow this?
