Departure from Ole Miss
Lane Kiffin is set to leave Ole Miss after six seasons and a 55–19 record. He is not expected to coach the Rebels during their College Football Playoff run. Defensive coordinator Pete Golding is expected to be named interim head coach, sources told CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz.
Kiffin currently earns a base salary of $9 million at Ole Miss, a figure that has significantly contributed to his net worth since he arrived in 2019. His contract with the university runs through December 31, 2030, and includes up to $2.6 million in potential bonuses for the 2025 season, according to USA Today and Athlon Sports.
If Kiffin leaves Ole Miss, he will owe the university a $4 million buyout if he departs before the end of the season, or $3 million if he leaves afterward.
