Lane Kiffin’s contract details at LSU have leaked — and the numbers are staggering. Reports indicate LSU is finalizing a 7-year, $90 million deal with Kiffin, complete with an incentive structure and buyout framework that has Governor Jeff Landry and major boosters fully aligned.

But the real headline isn’t the salary.
It’s the $25 million per year NIL guarantee LSU is prepared to commit to Kiffin on top of the new revenue-sharing model. We break down how LSU can realistically deliver that level of financial support, why it matters more than ever in the modern era, and what this means for LSU’s ability to compete for championships immediately.

Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss AD Keith Carter met this week to discuss the coach’s future, and now the school has announced that a decision on Kiffin will come the Saturday after the Egg Bowl. On today’s episode, we break down why that timing is a massive red flag for Kiffin’s future in Oxford — and why it likely means he’s on his way out.

We also dive into growing frustration inside the Ole Miss program, with players and major boosters becoming increasingly vocal about wanting Kiffin gone before the Egg Bowl. Can he even make it to Saturday? Or could Ole Miss pull the trigger early?

Plus:
• Is Florida still legitimately in play for Kiffin?
• What this means for the SEC coaching carousel
• How LSU might be impacted depending on when (and where) Kiffin lands

A full breakdown of the latest drama in Oxford and what comes next.

And finally, we discuss the intriguing question floating around LSU circles: Could Brian Kelly return to Tiger Stadium for Senior Night to honor his son, walk-on running back Kenzel Kelly? We break down what we know and what it would mean.
