Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin accepted LSU’s offer to be the school’s next head coach on Sunday, he announced in a Sunday statement on social media , ending a month-long search by landing the most-sought after coach on the market.

LSU officials were previously informed of Kiffin’s intention to take the job and leave Ole Miss, sources said. After Saturday passed without a resolution, sources said LSU expected to finalize a deal Sunday.

Kiffin agreed to a seven-year deal with an annual salary expected to top $13 million, sources said, which could make him one of the highest-paid coaches in college football. LSU has also prepared to commit $25-30 million annually to the roster through revenue sharing and NIL funds, which is believed to be an important factor to Kiffin.
