Mississippi head coach Lane Kiffin appeals to officials for a favorable ruling during their NCAA college football game against Mississippi State in Oxford, Miss., Thursday, Nov. 24, 2022. Mississippi State won 24-22. It poured in Oxford, Mississippi, on Thursday night, bands of rain washing over Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, Ole Miss’ annual Egg Bowl with Mississippi State and Rebel coach Lane Kiffin himself.
This is a business where even undeniable denials mean nothing. In 1998, Ole Miss coach Tommy Tuberville claimed he would only leave Oxford in a “pine box.” He promptly left for Auburn — on his own two feet — at the end of the season.“I’ve signed three [at Ole Miss] so does the fourth one mean you’re never leaving?” Kiffin asked. “So I don’t know. I'm much more focused and worried about the game than whether you sign another contract. And I'm not acting ungrateful for that.
In three years, Kiffin made Ole Miss matter. There is no questioning that. They won 10 games and the Sugar Bowl a year ago. At the end of this season though, it was an 8-4 team with victories over just two teams with winning records — Kentucky and Troy.“A lot tougher schedule would be part of it,” Kiffin said of a slate back loaded with Alabama, LSU, Arkansas and Mississippi State.
Kiffin, presumably, is one who can change that, but he’d have to stick around. He did praise reports that the school’s collective raised $10 million recently, which he said was critical to “signing players and keeping your players.”Kiffin did take time Thursday to continue his mocking of local television reporter Jon Sokoloff, who reported Monday via “unnamed sources” that Kiffin would resign from Ole Miss on Friday to become Auburn’s coach.
