Florida’s $81 million opening is the hottest job in college football. Ole Miss’s Lane Kiffin was reported to be the Gators’ top target. While there’s still an uncertainty on Florida’s coaching role, one of their 2026 commits is already dreaming of winning the national championship with Lane Kiffin as head coach.

Tyler Harden posted a video of Kaiden Hall on X, showing major interest in Kiffin taking over the Florida job. “It’ll fit amazingly,” Kaiden Hall said on Lane Kiffin’s Florida rumors. “With the defense that we have right now, plus the offense. It’s easily a national championship contender team.”

Besides showing interest in Lane Kiffin, the Florida commit is set to make an official visit to Oxford this Saturday, November 15, as the Rebels host the Gators. Hall will be joined by the four-star RB commit Carsyn Baker. This is his second visit in a row to a team that the Gators are facing. He was in Lexington last weekend for the Kentucky Wildcats game, where Florida suffered a 38-7 loss.

Kaiden Hall is a 2026 prospect from Milton High School in Milton, Florida, who’s been committed to Florida since June. The 6-foot-3, 195-pounder is a 4-star safety, ranked among the top-250 prospects nationally. He’s ranked No. 21 safety and a top-35 prospect in the state of Florida. After announcing his commitment, Hall has been strong on his pledge to the program. But like any recruit would, he is eager to hear offers from other schools.

It is hardly surprising to see Florida’s 2026 commit visiting other schools, as uncertainty surrounding the program without a permanent head coach. With Florida’s top target trying to beat them with Ole Miss, it would be interesting to see who flips their promise to the existing program.

Florida Announcer Signals Lane Kiffin to Florida

Ahead of the big matchup and the coaching rumors, Florida announcer Frank Frangie hinted that Lane Kiffin will end up as the Gators’ next head coach. Frangie, during his appearance with Florida journalist Buddy Martin, said, “My guess is Jimmy Sexton said Lane, ‘Let me do my job. Let me talk to all of them, and let’s get the best offer. So I do believe the Kiffin camp has spoken with both LSU and Florida, buddy…I think Florida is going to offer him the job, and I think Lane Kiffin is going to be the next Florida coach.”

Frangie also gave a note, “that’s not definitive, but it’s been my gut all along.” He believes that it’s going to happen pretty soon, as early as the timeframe between the regular season and the playoffs. “I wouldn’t be surprised to see an announcement between the regular season and the playoffs. That’d be my guess.”

Kiffin has been the top target in most coaching openings in the Power 4, and it’s the result of his successful reign in Ole Miss. Since taking over the Rebels in 2020, he owns a 53-19 record to date. He brought the program to three double-digit seasons, and they’re on a road to the fourth, if they defeat Florida this Saturday.
