"article": "LSU is reportedly on the cusp of securing Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin as its next head coach. According to sources, a formal press conference is set for Monday to introduce Kiffin as the new coach of the Tigers.
A massive seven-year contract worth around $100 million has been offered to Kiffin, making him one of the highest-paid coaches in college football. The deal would see him leave Ole Miss after six seasons and a 55-19 record.
Kiffin's departure from the Rebels is imminent, with defensive coordinator Pete Golding expected to take over as interim head coach. The 55-year-old coach currently earns a base salary of $9 million at Ole Miss and has a contract that runs through December 31, 2030.
Sources close to the situation indicate that Kiffin has made it clear his intention to join LSU and is expected to make a decision later today. A team meeting initially scheduled for Sunday has been pushed back to 1 p.m. CT, fueling speculation that a move is imminent.
