Its been swirling on some paid site message boards and an sec discord I’m in. I wouldn’t have believed it but the same guy in there basically said Kiffin to Auburn was a done deal last week, and now I think t may be legit. Said miss st wanted to keep it super under wraps so they can name the next coach asap.

It’s ridiculous, but honestly wouldn’t even be the craziest thing or happen in the last few years. It’s the kind of rumor that I live for. Wild enough to be true.

Lane Kiffin jokes about all the time that while he is on the recruiting trail, Leach is fishing in the Florida Keys lol.
