Lane Kiffin said Tuesday that Mississippi has not given him an ultimatum to make up his mind about his future coaching the Rebels.

According to reports by the Athletic and On3, Kiffin had been told by Ole Miss that he needed to decide by the team’s regular-season finale against Mississippi State if he was going to stay or go coach somewhere else in 2026. In a Tuesday appearance on the “Pat McAfee Show,” Kiffin said that was not true.

Ole Miss football coach Lane Kiffin said he has not received an ultimatum from the university regarding his future.

Kiffin is the coach at Ole Miss and his football team is ranked No.5 in the country with a record of 10-1. For Ole Miss, it doesn’t get any better. This is the season their entire fanbase has waited lifetimes to celebrate. But, of course, it can never be so simple.
