McClure believes that Kiffin would be a perfect fit at LSU, citing his offensive success. Ole Miss averages 37.2 points per game, 13th-best in the country and third-best in the SEC behind Tennessee (43.4) and Vanderbilt (38.3).
As rumors mount that the Ole Miss head coach might depart the school, LSU officials have had discussions about offering Kiffin, 50, a contract in the seven-year, $90 million range, Yahoo Sports reported Friday night. A deal of that amount would effectively make Kiffin tied for the highest-paid coach in the NCAA.
The LSU Board of Supervisors on Tuesday afternoon selected Wade Rousse to serve as LSU’s next president and James Dalton to serve as the university’s executive vice president and chancellor.
The LSU Board of Supervisors is to decide among three candidates to lead the system, one from Louisiana and two from out of state. Each has presented a different vision.
