All signs on Saturday evening point to LSU hiring Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin to be the school's next head coach.

Kiffin was LSU's top target after firing Brian Kelly in October, and now he's expected to take over in Baton Rouge.

Ross Dellenger reported that Kiffin met with Ole Miss athletic director Keith Carter and chancellor Glenn Boyce for almost three hours at Boyce's residence on Saturday evening. During the meeting, Kiffin likely revealed his decision and expressed his desire to coach the Rebels during their playoff run.

Dellenger also reported that LSU officials spoke with Kiffin's reps to solidify the deal and arrange for two planes to pick up Kiffin and his family in Oxford on Sunday.
