Lane Kiffin to LSU Football Updates: Ole Miss team meeting delayed

If all goes to plan, Ole Miss's Lane Kiffin will be LSU football's next head coach.

Kiffin's services were in high demand this coaching cycle. Not only was Kiffin LSU's top target, but he was No. 1 on Florida's board, too. As LSU and Florida pursued, Ole Miss fought to retain their head coach.

Florida faded from the race and Kiffin's decision came down to leaving for LSU or staying at Ole Miss. A resolution was expected on Saturday, but the saga dragged on as Kiffin met with Ole Miss brass on Saturday afternoon.

Yahoo's Ross Dellenger reported that Kiffin intends to leave for LSU, but desired to keep coaching this Ole Miss team in the postseason.

Late on Saturday, reports emerged of an Ole Miss team meeting scheduled for 9 a.m. CT on Sunday. Now, that meeting has been pushed back to 1 p.m. CT.

Despite the slight delay, this situation should be resolved today.

Team meeting delayed, Kiffin threatning to take staff

Per Chase Parham, Ole Miss admin met with the team's leadership council this morning. Parham confirms Saturday's reports of Kiffin threatening to take staff immediately. That would leave Ole Miss in a tough spot for its College Football Playoff run.

Pete Golding likely to remain at Ole Miss

Per John Talty of CBS Sports, Ole Miss DC Pete Golding is not expected to follow Kiffin to LSU. As Kiffin builds his LSU staff, it will be intriguing to see if LSU retains DC Blake Baker.

Lane Kiffin set to meet with leadership council

Per Neal McCready, the Ole Miss leadership council is meeting with Kiffin. McCready notes that players aren't happy with how this unfolded.

LSU fans should be confident

Last night, On3's Pete Nakos reported that nothing was signed, but Kiffin "intends" to be LSU's head coach in 2026. At this point, it seems that Kiffin's mind is made up and the decision is all but final.

Along with Nakos's report, there were multiple reports of LSU sending planes to pick up Kiffin and company.
