After weeks of speculation, the college football world finally got word on Sunday that Ole Miss football coach Lane Kiffin would, in fact, be leaving the Rebels to take over at LSU.

Wilson Alexander of The Advocate reported that won't be the case for much longer, as Orgeron's final buyout payment of $426,000 will be paid out on Dec. 15. Still, LSU is paying out quite a significant amount of money for its coaching situation following its 7-5 season.

Finebaum, a host on the SEC Network and ESPN, has been critical of Kiffin’s job switch, from Ole Miss to LSU. The Rebels are ranked No. 7 in the latest CFP rankings and are on the cusp of a playoff berth.

Lane Kiffin is one of the top coaches in college football, but he's also no stranger to ugly exits from jobs. Here's a ranking of his ugliest.

Lane Kiffin started the fire, but it spread quickly when a different coach cooled on another SEC program's pursuit.

In a statement on X, Kiffin said he had hoped to be able to finish the season with Ole Miss but Athletic Director Keith Carter told him no. SEC Network analyst Paul Finebaum says it was the right decision by the Rebels.
