The Rebels’ head coach took to The Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday to talk with the cast of characters, but all Kiffin did was dispel the notion that Ole Miss had given him an Egg-Bowl deadline to make a decision on his future. Of course, this infuriated ESPN’s Paul Finebaum, who took to First Take to vent his frustrations.

ESPN’s Paul Finebaum suggests head coach Lane Kiffin is leaning toward leaving Ole Miss for another major SEC job.

Kiffin has spent the last six seasons in Oxford, Mississippi, and has gone 53-19 over that time. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Nov 17, 2025, where it first appeared in the College Football section. Add Athlon Sports as a Preferred Source by clicking here.

But someone is going to be left disappointed when it’s all said and done. Kiffin can only coach at 1 school. During an appearance on ESPN’s Get Up Wednesday morning, Paul Finebaum was asked what he believes the ideal landing spot is for Kiffin.

ESPN’s Paul Finebaum revealed his latest thoughts on Lane Kiffin’s future and that future is in Gainesville in 2026. The Florida Gators and LSU Tigers are hot for Kiffin as the Ole Miss coach is currently sitting at 10-1 and No. 6 in the country with his Rebels.
