After firing Brian Kelly, LSU is now searching for a new head coach, with sights set on several big names, notable Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin. However, Florida, which has also recently fired their head coach, is also trying to get Kiffin. Now, rumors have popped up and it seems that LSU has offered Kiffin $14 million per year.

There are still rumors as the official number of their offer to Kiffin, if they offered him at all, has not been released yet. Still, despite the staggering amount of zeroes in there, fans were left a bit underwhelmed. Others were suspicious of the offer.
“Only 14? LSU’s broke😭” one fan noted.
“That’s it?” another person said.
“That’s a huge gap between Kiffin and Dillingham. Also, I wouldn’t put too much into this since this idiot can’t spell discreet correctly.” said another fan, pointing out the misspelling.
“numbers i’m sure are off. no doubt Kiffin will be offered the job tho,” one person pointed out.
“Kept so discrete we have a goon talking about it on the internet. Ok” one commenter stated with suspicion.
“Wait, what? I thought it was Saban for 20 million.” said another person.
Whatever the offer is, it should also be noted that Kiffin has been very vocal at saying he has been very comfortable at Ole Miss and that he is currently looking to lead the Rebels to the College Football Playoffs, which is within the team’s reach at the moment.
How Much Is Lane Kiffin’s Current Salary With Ole Miss?
If LSU or Florida want to lure Lane Kiffin out of Oxford, they have to shell out a lot of money, given that Kiffin is currently the tenth-highest paid college football coach right now. He is making $9 million per year, with that alleged $14 million offer from LSU dwarfing what he is currently making.
Kiffin’s current salary is also below what Brian Kelly was making before he was fired, with the former LSU head coach making $10.175 million a year.
Other schools have tried luring Kiffin out of Oxford before, but he has decided to stay time and time again. However, a much higher salary could change things, especially with the bigger schools like LSU and Florida.
