(AP) - Lane Kiffin said Tuesday that Mississippi has not given him an ultimatum to make up his mind about his coaching future .

“Yeah, that’s absolutely not true,” Kiffin said from his office Tuesday during an appearance on the “Pat McAfee Show” on ESPN. “There’s been no ultimatum, anything like that at all. ... We’re having a blast. I love it here. Our running back’s sitting right over here.”

Kiffin, who is in his sixth season coaching Ole Miss, has been a top candidate for other job openings in college football, with reports specifically linking him to both Florida and LSU. Florida fired Billy Napier on Oct. 19 after he went 22-23 in four seasons at Florida, and LSU fired Brian Kelly on Oct. 27 in the fourth year of a 10-year contract worth about $100 million.
