"STARKVILLE, Miss. - Florida has shifted focus from Lane Kiffin in the school's coaching search, as the school has sensed through irregular communication that he's interested in other options, sources told ESPN on Friday. Florida, which is searching for former coach Billy Napier's successor, has interviewed roughly a dozen candidates and is optimistic about the process. It is believed Louisville's Jeff Brohm and Tulane's Jon Sumrall are among the candidates the Gators are still considering."
"Florida targeted Kiffin early in the search and offered him a deal to put him among the highest paid coaches in college football, which included significant incentives. Ole Miss officials told ESPN ahead of Saturday's Egg Bowl against Mississippi State in Starkville that Kiffin is expected to provide them with a decision about his future on Friday night or Saturday. He's also considering a lucrative contract offer from SEC rival LSU."
