Pete Thamel reported Saturday during ESPN’s “College GameDay” that the next 24 hours will be hectic.
It all starts with Lane Kiffin. The Ole Miss coach is supposed to be making a decision about his future Saturday when he meets with the administration in Oxford.
Kiffin, who is the favorite to land the LSU job, per Marty Smith, will be meeting with Ole Miss coaches Saturday to game plan for Georgia and a date in the SEC Championship Game.
However, Alabama would have to lose to Auburn in the Iron Bowl for that game to happen.
In the meantime, the dominos are lined up and are ready to fall.
Per Thamel:
Jon Sumrall “is the clear favorite” at Florida. He also has interest from Auburn. “He could end up in the Ole Miss-LSU mix, depending what Lane does,” Thamel reports.
The Tulane coach won’t make an official decision until Sunday, however, after Tulane’s Saturday game with Charlotte and a shot at the AAC title game on the line.
At Auburn, DJ Durkin, as the interim, could make quite the impression with over Alabama on Saturday.
However, the “Auburn job and Arkansas job could intersect at Alex Golesh, the USF coach.” Golesh has has an offer from Arkansas, per Thamel. There is also interest from Auburn, but Ole Miss is expected to be interested if Kiffin leaves.
Golesh plays Rice on Saturday and is expected to make a decision Sunday.
