Nobody is making more headlines in the college football world this week than Lane Kiffin. The Ole Miss head coach is the subject of rumor after rumor related to the coaching carousel. Most notably, Kiffin has been linked to the LSU and Florida jobs, with his family visiting Gainesville on Sunday and Baton Rouge on Monday. There truly is nothing like a college football coaching search, and Kiffin is right in the middle of it all.

Lane Kiffin takes to social media amid coaching carousel chaos
Kiffin is an avid user of social media to troll, puzzle, and keep fans guessing on what he is thinking. On Tuesday morning, he took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a cryptic message to his 770,000 followers.
"How do you know what to do next? You ask yourself, honestly, what your 90-year-old self would advise you to do. What they would have wished you had done. You ask yourself, honestly, what you've sensed from the beginning. What you have ignored, what you have quieted and distracted yourself from. You make two lists, the positives and the negatives, and you weigh them. And if there is one thing left that overpowers the dozen things on the right, then you trust that. You ask yourself what path will make you more of the person you are meant to be."
Kiffin didn't specify the book from where the passage came from, but the message revolves around weighing your options when decision-making. From the post, it seems that Kiffin is contemplating the positive and negatives of his situation. LSU, Florida, and Ole Miss are all vying for his services, and there are several pros and cons to each position.
Kiffin has been very public about his love for Ole Miss and where he's at now in his career. He has the Rebels' spot in the CFP all but locked up, and could very well have his team competing for a national title over the next few weeks. But LSU and Florida are giving it all they've got to lure him away, and Kiffin has a big decision to make.
