Ending weeks of speculation and reports, Lane Kiffin revealed his future coaching plans Sunday afternoon, announcing on Twitter that he was leaving Ole Miss for LSU.
Kiffin, 50, guided the Rebels to an 11-1 record and a likely spot in the 12-team College Football Playoff this season. In his statement, Kiffin confirmed that he would not be coaching Ole Miss in the postseason.
"After a lot of prayer and time spent with family, I made the difficult decision to accept the head coaching position at LSU," his statement read in part. "I was hoping to complete a historic six-season run with this year's team by leading Ole Miss through the playoffs, capitalizing on the team's incredible success and their commitment to finish strong, and investing everything into a playoff run with guardrails in place to protect the program in any areas of concern.
