It appears Lane Kiffin is headed back to the SEC. According to USA Today's Dan Wolken, Kiffin is on the verge of a deal to become Ole Miss’s next head coach.
Kiffin, whose FAU Owls play for the Conference USA championship on Saturday, could have a deal finalized after the game, Wolken notes.
Kiffin had also been linked to the Arkansas opening and met with both Ole Miss and the Razorbacks this week in Boca Raton, Fla.
FAU went 25-13 in three seasons under Kiffin. He took the FAU job following a brief stint as an assistant at Alabama and a 28-15 stretch as the head coach at USC.
