In late October, Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin received some unsolicited advice from his former mentor in longtime Alabama head coach Nick Saban, who suggested leaving the Rebels for openings at Florida or LSU might not be the right choice.

“Jobs that weren’t great jobs before are now. Lane is the first name up for Florida and the first name up for LSU, but I think you can have a long debate on whether either one of those jobs is actually better than the job he has now because he has some guys over there at Ole Miss that give him pretty much whatever he wants from a roster standpoint," Saban said.

Just a few weeks later, Ole Miss athletic director Kieth Carter is singing a similar refrain.
