Ole Miss Rebels head coach Lane Kiffin still has a lot of growing up to do. At the onset of the coaching carousel, Baby Kiff was a hot name for numerous jobs across the land. And with multiple powerhouses, blue blood gigs available, Kiffin was as good as gone. Especially after a 10-2 record at Ole Miss for 2021. But Kiffin will be returning to Oxford in 2022 for more money. Although Kiffin has made tremendous College Football betting strides as a coach, there is still too much man child for most buttoned-up athletic directors elsewhere.
