The LSU Tigers have been chasing the University of Mississippi head coach Lane Kiffin for weeks and they finally got him.
LSU has officially hired Kiffin as its next head coach.
The rumors of Kiffin coming to LSU started picking up steam days after Brian Kelly was fired as the Tigers’ head coach.
Kiffin is in his sixth season as Ole Miss’ head coach.
Kiffin holds a 55-19 overall record at Ole Miss with a 32-17 record in the SEC.
He’s led the Rebels to four 10 win seasons. Ole Miss has won at least 10 games the last three seasons.
The Rebels are one of the 12 teams expected to be in the College Football Playoffs.
The No. 7 Rebels beat Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl Friday to finish the regular season 11-1, 7-1.
Kiffin also led Ole Miss to an 11-2 season in 2023 with a win over Penn State in the Peach Bowl.
Before Ole Miss, Kiffin was a head coach at Florida Atlantic for three seasons, University of Southern California for three plus seasons and University of Tennessee for a season.
He also coached the Oakland Raiders but was fired after four games into his second season.
