Looking to the future

Jaxson Dart is going to be a star, maybe a big star, at the only position in the NFL that really counts….Go make Lane Kiffin the next star in the Ole Miss-Giants pipeline (Charlie Conerly, Eli Manning, Dart) and see how young No. 6 fares in 2026.

Kiffin to the NFL?

Sports host Colin Cowherd on Friday pitched the idea of Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin leaving college football for a return to the NFL by taking the head coaching job with the Miami Dolphins.

At the moment, Mike McDaniel is still the head coach. General manager Chris Grier and the Dolphins parted ways Friday.

Kiffin coached the Oakland Raiders in 2007 and finished with a 4-12 record. He was 1-3 in 2008 when owner Al Davis fired him.
