US EditionLane Kiffin to LSU: Bill Cowher Blasts Ex-Ole Miss Coach for Manner of Departure
Lane Kiffin’s LSU contract includes up to $1 million in postseason bonuses matching those at Ole Miss amid a dispute over his desire to coach through the College Football Playoff.
- On Sunday, Lane Kiffin accepted LSU head-coaching job after prayer and family time, saying he wanted to coach Ole Miss through the College Football Playoff.
- The disagreement over timing escalated over the weekend as Ole Miss athletic director Keith Carter denied Lane Kiffin's request to coach through the CFP, promoting Pete Golding to interim head coach.
- The deal guarantees postseason payments including $150,000, $250,000, $500,000, $750,000 and up to $1 million for a national title, according to a term sheet obtained Monday by The Advocate.
- Lane Kiffin brought nine Ole Miss coaches and staff to Baton Rouge, including Charlie Weis Jr. and Joe Cox, prompting Bill Cowher to say, `Just understand one thing: it's not about the program, it's about Lane Kiffin.`
- With an 11-1 record, Ole Miss will likely make the CFP and could host a first-round game, while Kiffin's alleged ultimatum complicates the Rebels' staff for the playoff.
