The major dominoes are about to start falling, potentially as soon as this afternoon once the dust settles on the Egg Bowl between Ole Miss and Mississippi State in Starkville. It\u2019s been an eventful day already with news breaking that Lane Kiffin<\/a> is set to decide between returning to Oxford and taking his coaching talents to LSU. <\/a><\/p>\n

A fan favorite in Lexington could be up next, Jon Sumrall <\/a>set to make a decision on his future this weekend, as well \u2014 and it could be wherever Kiffin does not end up. With Florida removed from consideration for the current Ole Miss coach, could they make a move on the former Kentucky linebacker who was on Mark Stoops\u2019 staff in Lexington from 2019-21? On3\u2019s Pete Nakos is reporting that the Gators are turning their attention toward the 43-year-old. <\/a><\/p>\n

And depending on Kiffin\u2019s decision, he could be a top candidate at Ole Miss or LSU, as well, sources\u00a0tell<\/a>\u00a0Nakos, along with On3\u2019s Chris Low and Brett McMurphy.<\/p>\n

Sumrall had been seen as a top candidate at Auburn, but Nakos reports that \u201ctalks between the two have cooled off in recent days\u201d \u2014 though he\u2019s not ruling out a move to The Plains.<\/p>\n

Florida is also considering Washington\u2019s Jedd Fisch and Georgia Tech\u2019s Brent Key, according to On3\u2019s
Zach Abolverdi. <\/a><\/p>\n

Although Kentucky\u2019s matchup at Louisville could technically shake things up, it\u2019s obviously a massive blow to Big Blue Nation members who wanted Mitch Barnhart to make a move on Stoops to bring home the alum widely considered to be the hottest up-and-coming name in coaching right now. It\u2019s even worse knowing the options are a quarter of the SEC, two being UK opponents in 2026 in Florida and LSU, followed by the other two, Auburn and Ole Miss, in 2027 (plus the Gators).<\/p>\n

Could Sumrall go from beloved former Wildcat to permanent SEC rival? We\u2019re trending in that direction, folks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The major dominoes are about to start falling, potentially as soon as this afternoon once the dust settles…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":319144,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[399,398,396,397,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-319143","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-ncaa","10":"tag-ncaa-football","11":"tag-ncaafootball","12":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/319143","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=319143"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/319143\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/319144"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=319143"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=319143"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=319143"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
