Kiffin is one of college football's top coaches. He has won 55 games in six years in Oxford and this season has guided Ole Miss to what is all but certain to be its first College Football Playoff appearance.

Leaving Ole Miss while it's in the College Football Playoff will ruffle some feathers, but that hasn't bothered Lane Kiffin before.

Coaches have always done whatever they wanted for the sake of career enhancement. Don’t resent players for being free to do the same.

Lane Kiffin started the fire, but it spread quickly when a different coach cooled on another SEC program's pursuit.

Florida and LSU fired their coaches midseason, and turned their sights on Lane Kiffin. And he's the villain of this story?

Kiffin could have made history at a place that lifted him up as much as the other way around. Instead, he became a coaching cliche.

Shortly after reports indicated Florida was moving on from Lane Kiffin, On3 reported the Ole Miss head coach had made his decision.

Kiffin's tenure in Oakland was filled with tension between Kiffin and Davis, nearly instantly. Ahead of the 2007 NFL Draft, Kiffin apparently begged Davis to select receiver Calvin Johnson. Davis picked quarterback JaMarcus Russell instead, and the former LSU quarterback is regarded as one of the biggest busts in NFL history.
