The Lane Kiffin coaching search saga is finally approaching its crescendo, as the current head man for the Ole Miss Rebels is expected to announce his plans for the future this weekend following an Egg Bowl matchup against Mississippi State.
The past few weeks have seen Kiffin courted by LSU, Florida, and the team he is currently leading to a presumptive spot in the College Football Playoff, Ole Miss.
Rumors and speculation have run rampant throughout this insane timeline, but little in the way of concrete reporting has revealed what Kiffin intends to do.
With a decision nearing, though, it looks like the powers that be in Florida sensed the wind blowing against their favor in the Kiffin sweepstakes. On Friday, reports emerged that the school had moved on from its pursuit of the Rebels’ head coach.
Much like LSU, Kiffin became the Gators’ primary target the moment they fired former head coach Billy Napier, pulling out all the stops in hopes of luring the offensive mastermind away from his current post in Oxford.
Whether Florida whiffed on Kiffin or did, in fact, choose to go in a different direction, AD Scott Stricklin has reportedly turned his attention to Tulane’s Jon Sumrall.
The idea that Florida could miss on its top target and turn to a coach at the Group of 5 level — after trying and failing with a Group of 5 coach — naturally led to many Gator fans being less than pleased. They took to social media Friday afternoon to express their frustrations, with Stricklin firmly in their crosshairs.
Following a G5 coach from Louisiana with a G5 coach from Louisiana. What a disaster.

— IzzyB (@notizzy93) November 28, 2025Scott Stricklin is once again about to totally whiff on a coaching hire. I know we’re all stunned, shocked, befuddled. pic.twitter.com/ZHivjitjZN
— Graham Marsh (@GrahamMarsh904) November 28, 2025There are other good coaches out there, so it’s not the end of the world for UF.. but this 100% should be the end for Scott Stricklin. Fire him as soon as the official news drops. His mismanagement of our football program cannot go on any longer
— / (@157Gale) November 28, 2025Scott Stricklin has set the Florida football program back a decade. He had a chance to fire the in-over-his-head Napier last szn & hire Kiffin, but moronically decided to stick with him.Now he’s whiffed on Kiffin, who was rare candidate fan base/boosters collectively agreed on. t.co/K3FSZIDEEM
— Jake Winderman (@jakewinderman) November 28, 2025Nobody is saying Florida's next coach can't do a great job/be a great hire. I hope he is!But for months, Gators have had their focus on Lane Kiffin & have been unable to close the deal & that falls directly on Scott StricklinHe shouldn't be allowed to make a 3rd football hire
— Jake Winderman (@jakewinderman) November 28, 2025If Florida does whiff on Kiffin, I truly don't understand how Scott Stricklin has a job next football season. It's been one miss after another.Giving him that extension looks even more ludicrous right now than it did at the time (which also seemed crazy).
— Jake Winderman (@jakewinderman) November 28, 2025Assuming the Kiffin news here is true, that Florida is officially faded out, the next Gators’ coach has already lost the fan base.And Scott Stricklin may need to go into witness protection
— Will Thomas (@wthomassports) November 28, 2025Season tickets have been in my family since 1989. They’ll be cancelled and won’t be renewed until you and everyone associated with this debacle are gone. @ScottStricklin
