Kiffin denies ultimatum by Ole Miss: 'Not true'
""Yeah, that's absolutely not true," Kiffin told "The Pat McAfee Show." "There's been no ultimatum, anything like that at all. And so I don't know where that came from, like a lot of stuff that comes out there. Like I said, man, we're having a blast. I love it here.""
""However, sources told ESPN on Tuesday that Ole Miss officials are pressing Kiffin and his agent, Jimmy Sexton, for a resolution. Athletics director Keith Carter has asked for Kiffin to reach a decision by this upcoming weekend, sources said. The sources stopped short of calling it an ultimatum, but they added that Carter and others want an answer so they can prepare for the postseason, a potential coaching transition before the CFP and a search to identify Kiffin's replacement if he leaves.""
""Sources confirmed to ESPN on Tuesday that Kiffin's ex-wife, Layla, son, Knox, and his brother Chris Kiffin's son visited Gainesville, Florida, on Sunday. Layla Kiffin, who lives in Oxford, visited Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the next day with other family members, according to sources. Ole Miss officials have made it clear to Kiffin and Sexton that the Rebels would match any contract offer the Gators and Tigers might make, the sources told ESPN.""
Lane Kiffin denied that he has been given an ultimatum from the Ole Miss administration. Kiffin has guided Ole Miss to a 10-1 record this season and is believed to be the top candidate for coaching vacancies at Florida and LSU. Ole Miss athletics director Keith Carter has asked Kiffin and his agent, Jimmy Sexton, to reach a decision by this upcoming weekend so the program can prepare for the postseason and a potential transition before the CFP. Family members recently visited Gainesville and Baton Rouge. Ole Miss officials said they would match any contract offers. Kiffin earns $9 million annually with $2.6 million in potential bonuses.
