Lane Kiffin, Ole Miss Agree to New Contract amid Miami Head Coaching Rumors

Ole Miss head football coach Lane Kiffin has decided against jumping on the latest coaching carousel.

The university announced it agreed to a new contract with Kiffin, who has led the No. 8 Rebels to a 10-2 record.

Reports previously connected Kiffin to the University of Miami, with Andy Slater of Fox Sports 640 South Florida notably stating in November that the 46-year-old would leave for South Florida if the Hurricanes' job opened up.

Kiffin is staying in Oxford, however, as Ole Miss appears headed for a New Year's Six bowl amid one of the best seasons in school history.
