Yea I'm hearing the situation will be very fluid at halftime.

I'm a fan of Burrow but he'd be cooler if he wore a normal suit, figured out how to stay healthy, and won games.

Source is telling me Lane has made his decision and we'll know within the next 24 hours.

What did he mean by this?

Clearly he meant he is staying at Ole Miss, and wants to jeopardize his team's potential playoff run with distractions just for the fun of it.

I don't think that you can look at all of this logically and not arrive at the same conclusion... He is gone

Can you imagine how hated Lane would be in Oxford if they lose the Egg Bowl, he announces he's staying at Ole Miss, and it is perceived that Lane costed them a playoff spot trying to squeeze more money out of them?

There is zero reason to put Ole Miss through this if you're staying. If, however, you plan to leave but want to coach the last game of the regular season, it makes complete sense.

And reverse-trolled Kiffin.

IMO, there are three right ways to do this:

1) Offer big contracts to grab a coach with real results. Coaches in this category include: Nick Saban, Urban Meyer, Kirby Smart, and Ryan Day.

2) Offer smaller contracts to grab a coach who hasn't proven himself, like: Dan Lanning, Lane Kiffin, Brian Kelly, and Josh Heupel.

3) Offer opportunity contracts to coaches from smaller schools or who are OC/DCs, like: Jon Sumerall, Brent Key, Kenny Dillingham, and Joe Brady.

We screwed up last hire offering a 1-type contract to a 2-type coach. We are likely going to repeat that mistake if we go after Lane. "But how are we going to get a Lanning or a Kiffin here if we don't offer them big?" That's the point. You don't. There's no value in it. The only viable strategies in the current market are 1) and 3).
