Zachary Neel, Ducks WireFri, November 28, 2025 at 11:18 PM UTC·1 min readThis year's coaching carousel in the world of college football has been as crazy as we've seen in a long time, and after a couple of months of things heating up, it appears that some dominoes are about to start falling.
The first one to drop is going to be Ole Miss Rebels head coach Lane Kiffin. Originally, there was speculation whether or not he could choose to stay in Starkville, go to the Florida Gators, or join the LSU Tigers. However, a new report on Friday showed that Florida was dropping out of contention, which could ultimately impact the Auburn Tigers.

Auburn has also been after Sumrall for the past several weeks, hoping to hire him as their next head coach to replace Hugh Freeze.
Should Kiffin end up leaving Ole Miss, there is an expectation that Sumrall would be in consideration for the Rebels as well.
According to On3, Sumrall is expected to decide on Sunday between his opportunities of Florida, Auburn, staying at Tulane, or the possibility of Ole Miss or LSU.
