Who’s going to take over the Ole Miss football program after Hugh Freeze’s stunning departure?

That’s the question everyone is asking right now while looking to the future of the Rebels’ team.

Several names like Les Miles, Chip Kelly, Derek Dooley and, yes, Lane Kiffin have been thrown around. But how realistic is the chance of the hot-shot offensive-minded Kiffin to Ole Miss?

Paul Finebaum joined SportsCenter Friday morning to discuss that very topic.

“He [Lane Kiffin] is young, he is offensive minded and he comes with a lot of controversy,” Finebaum said. “It might be worth remembering his brother [Chris Kiffin] was on this staff and is no longer on that staff. He was part of this NCAA case. That could be used against Kiffin.

“I would bet against Lane for this particular job. I think he would really help a program, but I think Ole Miss has dealt with too much controversy. And I think Lane Kiffin just brings the circus with him wherever he goes.”

Kiffin, now the head coach at FAU, is trying to rebuild his image as a head coach at a lesser program that’s glad to have him. The public persona and baggage that Kiffin would bring to Oxford is just too overbearing at this point. If we’re having this conversation in 2020, it’s probably a different story.

Hilariously, as Clay Travis points out, check out Kiffin’s recent follows on Twitter.
