We have white smoke! Lane Kiffin is swapping the Grove for the Bayou. Kiffin is leaving Ole Miss football to be the LSU coach. Kiffin, who is replacing Brian Kelly in Baton Rouge, made his decision two days after winning a third straight Egg Bowl, securing the Rebels' first College Football Playoff berth and setting a program record with 11 wins. He will not coach Ole Miss' CFP game. Defensive coordinator Pete Golding will be promoted to permanent head coach and lead the Rebels in the CFP and beyond, per multiple reports. Golding signed a three-year contract extension this past offseason that pushed him up the ladder among the highest-paid assistants in the SEC with a salary of $2.55 million this season. The third-year defensive coordinator previously held the same position at No. 10 Alabama, helping the Crimson Tide run the table for the 2020 national championship.
