The Florida Gators aren’t the only program in hot pursuit of current Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin, as the LSU Tigers are reportedly set to make Kiffin the highest-paid coach in the country if he heads to Baton Rouge.
FootballScoop.com reported that LSU’s offer to Kiffin would top Kirby Smart’s deal, currently the highest-paid college football coach. LSU’s new AD Verge Ausberry, new President Wade Rousse and even the Governor of the great state of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, are on board.
The same story, written by Scott Roussel and John Brice, says that LSU still considers retired Alabama coach and former LSU boss Nick Saban as the “dream” but that hiring Kiffin would be a “home run”.
Smart is reportedly set to haul in $13.28 million in Athens in 2025 including potential bonuses on a 10-year, $130 million contract signed in March 2025 that extends through 2034. Kiffin is set to earn $9 million in 2025 coaching the Rebels and is eligible for up to $2.6 million more in incentives based on his team’s performance.
LSU is searching for a new coach after Brian Kelly was fired Oct. 26 after the Tigers lost 49-25 to Texas A&M – a defeat that effectively eliminated LSU from College Football Playoff contention.
Kiffin is the current favorite to take over at LSU according to the latest market prices on Kalshi:
