Lane Kiffin rumors are starting to heat up again, when confirmation that a plane was seen leaving Baton Rouge, Louisiana, for Oxford, Mississippi Monday
It comes on the heels of a report that Kiffin and his family were seen in Gainesville on Sunday.
It’s no secret that Kiffin is the top candidate for both LSU and Florida, and it seems neither school is wasting time trying to get to him first.
Reports indicate that Kiffin and several of his family members were picked up and flown to Baton Rouge on Monday to tour the city, and they were seen in Gainesville on Sunday.
Kiffin tried to dodge questions about his future when asked about it after the Rebels’ win over the Florida Gators on Saturday.
“I love what we’re doing here,” Kiffin said postgame when asked about his future at Ole Miss. “Today was awesome. To even talk about it right now would be so disrespectful to our players and how well they played today. We’ve got a lot of things going here. Doing really well, and I love it here.”
However, after hearing that he has been considering both schools, Ole Miss is giving Kiffin a week to decide whether he plans to remain in Oxford, according to The Athletic.
It seems as if the school has no intention of sitting around and waiting to see if Kiffin is going to leave or stay, and is forcing his hand one way or another.
But as of now, it seems as if Kiffin may be leaving Oxford soon, the question is, for which school?
