Lane Kiffin, the head coach of the No. 7 Rebels, has accepted an unexpected coaching position that could change the course of his career. After concluding the 2025 regular season with an impressive five-game winning streak, finishing with an overall record of 11-1 and a conference record of 7-1, Kiffin is set to leave his role with Ole Miss.
The Rebels secured their spot with a decisive 38-19 victory against their in-state rivals, the Bulldogs, during the annual Egg Bowl. Despite their successful season and anticipation for the College Football Playoff, Kiffin”s tenure at Ole Miss has come to an end.
Kiffin, who was under a substantial six-year contract worth $54 million, has opted to void that agreement. He is now poised to take on the head coaching role for the Tigers, a move that will reportedly earn him an annual salary of $12 million. This shift marks a significant moment in Kiffin”s coaching journey, as he transitions from the Rebels to a new challenge with the Tigers.
As the football community reflects on Kiffin”s successful run with Ole Miss, attention will now turn to the impact of his departure on the Rebels and the future of the Tigers under his leadership.
