Interesting nugget here:

quote:

When Kiffin was asked Wednesday whether he was aware of any way he wouldn't coach in next week's Egg Bowl, he said, "Of course, I'm coaching. I mean, unless you guys know something [that] I don't. Or I'm getting fired and I don't know it."

It's unclear whether Carter will allow Kiffin to coach the Rebels in a potential CFP game if he decides to leave after the season. Former New York Giants head coach Joe Judge is in his first season as the Rebels' quarterbacks coach and might be in position to serve as interim coach if Kiffin leaves.

Attorney Thomas Mars, whose clients have included many college coaches and athletic directors, reviewed Kiffin's contract and found that, under its terms, "Ole Miss can 'change or reassign [his] duties' under certain circumstances, which include him 'seeking or considering' employment with another school without giving 'prior written notice' to the athletics director."

If Kiffin or his representatives provided Ole Miss with prior written notice that he was talking to Florida and/or LSU, Mars didn't see anything in the language of the contract that would legally prevent him from coaching in the CFP.

Legally, no, but it would leak and force his hand. So practically if he gives notice of taking another job, it would be the end of his time at Ole Miss.

That said, if the language is that he only needs to say he's considering, then his team would be wise to send notice that he's "considering" other employment literally every single year.

Other interesting nugget:

quote:

On Nov. 10, Kelly's attorneys sued LSU's board of supervisors after the university purportedly notified Kelly that it was seeking to fire him "for cause" to avoid paying his full buyout.

"Crazy doesn't scare Lane," a source told ESPN. "That's probably not going to scare him away."
