LSU is making a major push for Lane Kiffin, putting up a huge contract to lure him from Ole Miss’s hands. The university officials and their new athletic director, Keith Carter, are taking major steps to get Kiffin’s decision within the next week. But here comes in the bigger question: if at all Kiffin accepts this offer, will LSU owe any money to Ole Miss for his move?

“As Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss met Friday, confidence brewed in Baton Rouge: LSU is finalizing a near $90M+ offer to the coach – blessed by the governor – and $25M+ in annual roster cash in its most serious push to gain his commit, sources tell @YahooSports,” said Ross Dellenger on X.

So, if Lane Kiffin leaves to take on LSU’s $115 million offer, LSU will only owe him the money involved in his buyout. And for Kiffin, that amount is about $4 million if he leaves before December 31. And that amount decreases by $1 million each year. So, if LSU is willing to hire him, they must cover this amount for Kiffin.

Now, Kiffin’s moves are leaving fans buzzing over his next move. He met with Ole Miss athletic director Keith Carter and the university chancellor, but no final decision came from the meeting. Ole Miss said the public won’t get any news until after next Friday’s Egg Bowl. LSU and Florida are both keeping tabs on the situation, and both are still talking to other potential candidates in case Kiffin remains at Ole Miss.
