Lane Kiffin is off to a 4-0 start with Ole Miss, but there are rumors of Florida having interest in the Rebels head coach to replace Billy Napier. Of course, anyone following the Gators knows Napier’s days in Gainesville are numbered .
Kiffin did nothing to quell any UF rumors, sharing a post on Twitter with a blue heart in response to a fan wishing they had him in Gainesville.
CBS Sports’ Josh Pate had previously claimed that Kiffin would consider leaving Ole Miss “in a heartbeat” to go to Florida.
“(Kiffin would leave Florida for Ole Miss) In a heartbeat,” Pate said during the September 11 edition of Crain & Company . “Lane Kiffin would walk to Florida if they would give him the job. This is not a debate. I’ve got Ole Miss people in my very close social circle and they fight me on this. They’re like ‘What can you do at Florida that you can’t do at Ole Miss?’
“Win a national championship, that’s what you can do there. And you can consistently be a player there. Contrary to what people believe about Ole Miss, that is still a build multiple years to a peak kind of program. A window program as I call them. They’re not sustained year in and year out. They’re just not that kind of program. Florida can be.”
