"I was hoping to complete a historic six season run with this year's team by leading Ole Miss through the playoffs, capitalizing on the team's incredible success and their commitment to finish strong, and investing everything into a playoff run with guardrails in place to protect the program in any areas of concern," Kiffin said in his statement.
"My request to do so was denied by Keith Carter despite the team also asking him to allow me to keep coaching them so they could better maintain their high level of performance. Unfortunately, that means Friday's Egg Bowl was my last game coaching the Rebels."
What a classless [ablution]. Good on Ole Miss not allowing him to coach there and be recruiting for LSU while he is the actual coach at LSU. Kiffin is out of touch with reality.
But reportedly his deal calls for him to make $12 million a year for 7 years at LSU. Mizzou could have topped that! Drinkwitz is getting $10.75 million for 6 years.
