Yahoo's Ross Dellenger reported that Kiffin intends to leave for LSU, but desired to keep coaching this Ole Miss team in the postseason.
Late on Saturday, reports emerged of an Ole Miss team meeting scheduled for 9 a.m. CT on Sunday. Now, that meeting has been pushed back to 1 p.m. CT.
Despite the slight delay, this situation should be resolved today.
Team meeting delayed, Kiffin threatning to take staff
Per Chase Parham, Ole Miss admin met with the team's leadership council this morning. Parham confirms Saturday's reports of Kiffin threatening to take staff immediately. That would leave Ole Miss in a tough spot for its College Football Playoff run.
Pete Golding likely to remain at Ole Miss
Per John Talty of CBS Sports, Ole Miss DC Pete Golding is not expected to follow Kiffin to LSU. As Kiffin builds his LSU staff, it will be intriguing to see if LSU retains DC Blake Baker.
