Lane Kiffin's future as Ole Miss coach is uncertain following a crucial meeting at the university chancellor's residence. The 50-year-old's decision to join LSU, reportedly offered a $100 million, seven-year deal, depends on a single condition. Sources indicate that Kiffin wants to continue coaching in the postseason with Ole Miss before leaving for Baton Rouge. LSU officials are confident that Kiffin will join their team, but his desire to fulfill his remaining commitments at Ole Miss has delayed the formalization of the move. The Tigers are expected to keep Kiffin from coaching in the College Football Playoff if he decides to leave. Kiffin's decision is not an easy one, as he acknowledged on Friday. 'There's a lot that goes into it. It's a hard decision,' he said. The pressure to make a decision is high, especially with a lucrative offer on the table. The situation at Ole Miss has reached a critical point. The program is expected to present Kiffin with an ultimatum: sign a new contract or leave immediately. If he decides to depart, he will not be allowed to coach in the College Football Playoff, a decision that has been in the works for several weeks.
