Lane Kiffin Undecided on Taking LSU Job: 'I Have a Lot of Praying To Do'
Florida is considering multiple candidates after sensing Lane Kiffin's interest elsewhere, while Kiffin weighs offers from LSU and Ole Miss with a decision expected this weekend.
- On Nov. 28, 2025, ESPN and On3 reported the University of Florida has shifted focus away from Lane Kiffin, citing his 'irregular' and 'erratic' communication, and is now pursuing Jedd Fisch, Brent Key, and Jon Sumrall.
- University sources said Lane Kiffin's 'erratic' communication raised doubts, while Kiffin family members recently visited Gainesville and Baton Rouge amid $13 million rival offers including from LSU Tigers.
- Kiffin is expected to decide Saturday after the Egg Bowl, having spent the build-up sidestepping questions while Layla Kiffin and other family members recently visited Gainesville and Baton Rouge.
- With the postseason looming, Florida must shift to a backup plan after decision-makers focused on Kiffin, as Ole Miss is all but certain to reach the College Football Playoff and host a game at Vaught‑Hemingway on Dec. 19.
- After LSU Tigers fired Brian Kelly Oct. 26, the coaching carousel intensified with prediction and betting markets favoring LSU while Eli Drinkwitz and Clark Lea signed six-year extensions.
