This comes hours after Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio reported that Kiffin is already assembling a coaching staff at LSU.

Lane Kiffin’s decision between staying at a College Football Playoff-bound Ole Miss team or leaving for LSU looms over an action-packed rivalry Saturday.
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.
Fox Sports analyst Joel Klatt says Lane Kiffin risks losing trust with recruits if he leaves Ole Miss for the LSU Tigers job during the College Football Playoff run. Kiffin must decide Saturday on a contract extension or a move to Baton Rouge.
