Up until Friday morning, the Florida Gators were a viable destination for Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin.

Florida reportedly had its eye on Kiffin ever since firing Billy Napier on Oct. 19 after a 3-4 start to the season.

However, LSU came on strong in recent days, making an aggressive push to land the highly coveted 50-year-old coach, proposing a reported $98 million contract offer with a $25 million NIL investment to try and tempt Kiffin to come to Baton Rouge.

Reports surfaced on Friday that Kiffin had eliminated Florida from consideration, leaving him to pick between Ole Miss and Florida by Saturday — the deadline Kiffin reportedly gave the Rebels of when to expect his final decision.
