The Ole Miss-Lane Kiffin situation is getting messy.
On Saturday night, Kiffin met with Ole Miss athletic director Chancellor Glenn Boyce for three hours to discuss his future.
According to Yahoo Sports’ Ross Dellenger, Kiffin spoke with LSU executives and is set to travel to Louisiana on Sunday.
As they have now for a week, LSU officials believe they hold Lane Kiffin’s commitment to be their next coach, though his desire to continue coaching Ole Miss in the postseason is a snag delaying the formalization of the move, sources tell.
LSU executives and Lane Kiffin’s reps held a call after the Tigers game at OU to continue solidifying the deal with travel plans: The university is sending two planes to Oxford on Sunday for Kiffin, his family & others, sources tell @YahooSports.
Veteran college football reporter Brett McMurphy is reporting that Kiffin is demanding to finish the season, and be allowed to coach during the college football playoff. Kiffin apparently threatened to poach Ole Miss roster/staff if he’s not allowed to coach at Ole Miss during the CFP.
Lane Kiffin is “essentially demanding to finish the season (w/Ole Miss) while simultaneously threatening to poach” Ole Miss’ roster & staff if he can’t, source told @On3sports. “It’s unfortunately gotten even messier than expected as emotions are high” https://t.co/gBcvHKk3Ps

When I said things were getting messy on the show – this is what I was hearing. And let’s just say the poaching would start before the playoff game too. https://t.co/1BOAw7uu8z
