The college football world has spent the last few weeks waiting on a decision regarding the future of 50-year-old Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin. That wait seems to be coming to a close, and sources within LSU feel the outcome will go in the Tigers’ favor.

Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin has been linked with a move to LSU over the last few days and former LSU National champion Breiden Fehoko thinks Kiffin is making the switch.

Kiffin’s decision has come down to leaving for LSU and staying at Ole Miss, which is heading toward its first College Football Playoff berth and could host a first-round game with an 11-1 record. Florida heavily courted Kiffin, but multiple reports said the Gators moved on to other candidates over the past week.
