Lane Kiffin's much-anticipated decision between Ole Miss and LSU is still pending, leaving the Rebels' playoff aspirations in limbo. The 50-year-old coach had been expected to make a choice after the LSU vs Oklahoma game, but a delay has raised concerns for Ole Miss fans. Kiffin's social media activity over the weekend hinted at a possible connection to LSU. A deleted tweet, which he had retweeted, spoke fondly of Ole Miss, stating it was 'home' for the Kiffin family, a reference to Lane's father Monte, who coached there. However, the coach remained tight-lipped about his decision after Ole Miss' big win against Mississippi State. The delay has led some to speculate that Kiffin may be leaning towards leaving Ole Miss, which would be a blow to the team's chances in the SEC championship. Athletic director Keith Carter has urged Kiffin to make a decision by Saturday to allow the Rebels to prepare for the next step. Kiffin has refused to provide a specific timeline for his announcement, leaving fans and the team in a state of uncertainty. As the Rebels await his decision, they can only hope that he will choose to stay and lead them into the playoffs.
