Ole Miss and Lane Kiffin are moving forward in separate directions. The messy breakup came to a head Sunday when Kiffin announced he was taking the LSU job and the Rebels named defensive coordinator Pete Golding their permanent coach ahead of a presumed College Football Playoff run.
Kiffin was clear in his hope to coach Ole Miss in the CFP, an intention that athletic director Keith Carter was not going to allow. Once Kiffin’s decision was made, Ole Miss held a team meeting Sunday to name Golding coach. Kiffin wasn’t present at Carter’s request.
