Kiffin is currently not expected to coach the Rebels in the upcoming College Football Playoff. The 50-year-old has previously been the head coach of Florida Atlantic, Southern California, Tennessee, and the Oakland Raiders.
Kiffin will replace Brian Kelly, who was fired midway through his fourth season with LSU on October 26 after a loss to Texas A&M. The Tigers finished the regular season with a 7-5 record after a loss to Oklahoma.
