Mississippi State is dealing with its own coaching drama entering the 2025 Egg Bowl. 

No. 7 Ole Miss has had to deal with daily rumors for over a week on the future of sixth-year head coach Lane Kiffin. Kiffin is the top candidate for openings at LSU and Florida.

Lebby was Kiffin’s first offensive coordinator at Ole Miss. Years later he’s wrapping his second season leading the Bulldogs. On3 Mississippi State reporter Robbie Faulk believes this year’s edition of the annual rivalry matchup is critical for Lebby’s outlook in Starkville moving forward.

The Ole Miss Spirit's Ben Garrett and Zach Berry are LIVE for your lunch break and on Thanksgiving Eve to talk Ole Miss dropping in the College Football Playoff rankings, the Egg Bowl, Lane Kiffin rumors and more.

Ole Miss baseball star Judd Utermark didn’t hold back when asked about Lane Kiffin entertaining LSU and Florida during the Rebels’ playoff push.

Utermark, who returned for a final season to chase a championship, says he can’t understand why Kiffin would look elsewhere with Ole Miss positioned for a potential CFP berth against Mississippi State on Black Friday.

Beyond the football noise, Utermark breaks down the Rebels’ fall baseball progress — from newcomer Tristan Bissetta winning the Omaha Challenge to breakout candidates like Hayden Federico — and explains why returning ace Hunter Elliott gives Ole Miss real Om...

Ben Garrett and Brad Logan of the Ole Miss Spirit/On3 went LIVE for your Drive Home to talk all things Lane Kiffin and Rebel football and after another uninspiring presser from the sixth-year Ole Miss head coach.

What is Lane Kiffin chasing? Brian Scott Rippee tried to answer this week, as the sixth-year Ole Miss head coach continues to entertain openings at other schools, all while preparing the 10-1 Rebels for their yearly rivalry showdown with Mississippi State. 

He could leave for LSU. Or Florida. Or just stick around at Ole Miss. Opinions vary on what the announcement regarding Kiffin’s future on Saturday will actually produce. 

But there’s no denying it’ll be a spectacle. We’re talking about Lane Kiffin here. Rippee deep dives with the Ole Miss Spirit’s Ben Garret...

Ben Garrett of the Ole Miss Spirit/On3 and Brad Logan went LIVE on Friday (November 21, 2025) afternoon to talk the latest regarding Lane Kiffin rumors.

Ole Miss athletics director Keith Carter released a statement saying Kiffin’s future will be announced next Saturday, the day after the Rebels’ regular-season finale at in-state rival Mississippi State.

Keith Carter and Lane Kiffin are set to meet sometime Friday and amidst furious rumors surrounding the sixth-year Ole Miss head coach.

Kiffin is being pursued by LSU and Florida, among others. The Tigers have surged in recent days, while the Gators seem to have faded. All the while, Kiffin is the midst of preparing the No. 6-ranked Rebels for rival Mississippi State. 

Yahoo! Sports national college football columnist joins Ole Miss Spirit contributor Brad Logan to break down the craziness. Ole Miss (10-1, 6-1 SEC) closes out the regular season in Starkville on Black F...

In Episode 14 of Game Runs Deep, Sudu and Ben dive into the latest around Kiffin’s future, how Ole Miss fans are handling the uncertainty, and which coaching dominoes could fall next.

Plus:

-Why Georgia Tech OC Buster Faulkner deserves real Power 4 head coach consideration

-Why Kewan Lacy and Haynes King should both be in New York for the Heisman ceremony

-And why Georgia and Ohio State might have separated themselves from the rest of college football heading into postseason play

No rest for the weary here as Lane Kiffin is keeping Ole Miss busy during the bye week. We discuss the latest with the coaching carousel and we are also picking Week 13 winners.

Few have a better perspective on the Lane Kiffin situation than Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports. 

Dellenger was recently in Kiffin’s office at Ole Miss to discuss his future. The sixth-year Rebel head coach is the top candidate at both LSU and Florida. The Tigers appear to be the Rebels’ greatest current threat.

Dellenger joined Ole Miss Spirit contributor Brad Logan to discuss where things stand.

Ben Garrett and Brad Logan of the Ole Miss Spirit are LIVE for your lunch break to discuss the 10-1 and now-No. 6 Rebels, who are in pursuit of the first title since the 1960s.

That is what really matters, you know. Of course, there are Lane Kiffin questions, too. Welcome to Talk of Champions!

Come hang with us at the Ole Miss Spirit/On3: (https://www.on3.com/teams/ole-miss-rebels/)

Ben Garrett and Zach Berry of the Ole Miss Spirit went LIVE after Lane Kiffin’s appearance on Pat McAfee.

What did we learn? Nothing new, actually, other than Kiffin is dismissing any kind of ultimatum for him from Ole Miss athletics director Keith Carter and Co.

Ole Miss is having one of its very best seasons in school history. 

Rebel fans can’t even enjoy it, because sixth-year head coach Lane Kiffin refuses to say whether he’s staying or leaving at season’s end. 

Florida has been after Kiffin for weeks, while LSU has ramped up its pursuit of Kiffin in the last few days. Planes are being tracked and reports of an Ole Miss decision deadline (no later than the Egg Bowl) have made Kiffin and the Rebels the talk of the sport over their bye week.

Harry Harrison and Gordon Ford join this edition of the Rebel Yell Hotline to discuss Lane Kiffin rumors, the 10-1 Rebels' pursuit of a playoff berth, Ole Miss basketball and more.

The Drive Home is LIVE after No. 7 Ole Miss moved to 10-1 on the 2025-26 season with a 34-24 win over Florida on Saturday. Lane Kiffin deflected when given multiple opportunities to dismiss coaching carousel rumors. But all that really matters is the Rebels are barreling towards the College Football Playoff.

Former Rebel offensive lineman and eight-year NFL veteran Bradley Sowell believes Lane Kiffin is staying with Ole Miss. 

But he’s also tired of the entire conversation. 

Why? Well, the Rebels are 9-1 for the first time in 63 years. They’re barreling towards the College Football Playoff and single-digit wins away from their first national title since the 60s.

“That would be my message to Ole Miss fans,” Sowell said, in joining the Ole Miss Spirit’s Ben Garrett for a Talk of Champions podcast on Friday. “Enjoy this ride.”

Ole Miss authored one of college football’s greatest modern upsets nearly two decades ago.

The Rebels walked into The Swamp in late-September of 2008 and stunned No. 4 Florida and eventual Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow. The play everybody still remembers — the one that ultimately swung the game — was former Rebel defensive end Kentrell Lockett’s blocked PAT.

Lockett joined the Spirit’s Ben Garrett and Sudu Upadhyay on the latest episode of Game Runs Deep.

Kewan Lacy rushed for three touchdowns in Ole Miss’ 49-0 win over The Citadel on Saturday. 

He made some history in the process. 

Lacy, who’s broken out as a true sophomore for the Rebels, tied the single-season Ole Miss record for rushing touchdowns (16). One more and he’ll surpass Quinshon Judkins, who set the new mark as a true freshman in 2022.

Lacy was one of a number of Rebels to earn postgame helmet stickers for the performance against the Bulldogs. The Ole Miss Spirit’s Ben Garrett and Brad Logan handed them out in an a...

Lane Kiffin is the hottest name in what is already one of the wildest coaching carousels in college football history. But Tony ‘Mr. College Football’ Barnhart wouldn’t be surprised to see Kiffin stick around at Ole Miss. 

Kiffin, the fastest Ole Miss coach to 50 wins in history, is a leading candidate for openings at both Florida and LSU. Sources indicate Florida is far and away the biggest threat of the two. 

Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz is the betting favorite for the Florida job, according to Bet Online. Tulane’s Jon Sumrall is the betting favorite fo...
