LSU football fans given extra Lane Kiffin hope but there's a big catch

The college football world is anxiously awaiting Lane Kiffin's decision. Kiffin is set to make an announcement regarding his future on Saturday, one day after Ole Miss battles Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl. LSU and Florida have pursued Kiffin heavily, while Ole Miss is trying everything to keep him in Oxford.

LSU fans need to worry about this one reason why Lane Kiffin could stay at Ole Miss

As Kiffin's announcement approaches, college football media personalities have made their predictions on where Kiffin lands. LSU fans are liking what they are seeing, but there's still a cause for concern.

College football media personalities make their Lane Kiffin predictions

On Wednesday morning, On3 released Lane Kiffin predictions from college football personalities. Brett McMurphy asked more than 80 college football media members for their predictions on where Lane Kiffin will coach in 2026 - and the majority believe Kiffin is Baton Rouge bound.

But of the 80 media members polled, 59 believe Kiffin is heading to LSU. The Kiffin to LSU rumors have been swirling for weeks now, as Kiffin has been at the top of LSU hot boards since the minute Brian Kelly was fired back on October 26.

It's interesting to see that Ole Miss was next on the list with 17 personalities believing Kiffin is staying put in Oxford. According to McMurphy's survey, it seems to be a decision between Ole Miss and LSU for Kiffin. It seems that the Florida momentum has died down, with just five picking the Gators.

Two picked a return to the NFL for Kiffin by selecting the Tennessee Titans. One picked Alabama, which is certainly a job to keep an eye on if Kalen DeBoer loses the Iron Bowl on Saturday. Kiffin has previously coached in both the NFL and at Alabama, so it's possible the interest to return is there. One member said "no clue," which is probably how a lot of college football fans feel right now. Get your popcorn ready.
