Franchise Player: Ole Miss ushers in Egg Bowl week with all eyes on Lane Kiffin

Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin deflected when asked Saturday about his potential candidacy at Auburn.His radio silence has only continued a few days later.To be fair, with school out and Thanksgiving week upon them, Kiffin has adjusted the Rebels’ practice schedule, and his weekly press conference on Monday was pushed to 4 p.m.But that hasn’t slowed speculation, including from The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman, who most recently put Kiffin’s chances of leaving Ole Miss for Auburn at 75 percent.Ben Garrett and David Johnson have to disagree in the latest edition of Franchise Player, a site-crossover podcast of the Ole Miss Spirit/On3 and Inside the Rebels/247. Plus, they’ve got an early look at the Egg Bowl, which is set for Thanksgiving night at 6 p.m. CT on ESPN.Here’s a brief exchange from the nearly 40-minute conversation.Ben: What’s your confidence level now with Lane Kiffin: One being he stays (and) 10 being he leaves?David: I’m actually down now to about a five and a half.Ben: Still coin-flip territory for both of us, and that sounds like a cop-out, but that’s genuinely how I feel.David: It’s a coin toss.Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp and use my code betterhelp.com for a great deal: https://www.betterhelp.com* Check out Quince and use my code quince.com/toc for a great deal: https://www.quince.com* Check out Underdog Fantasy and use my code CHAMPIONS for a great deal: https://underdogfantasy.com* Check out Underdog Fantasy and use my code CHAMPIONS for a great deal: https://underdogfantasy.com* Check out Underdog Fantasy and use my code CHAMPIONS for a great deal: https://underdogfantasy.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
