Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz is the betting favorite for the Florida job, according to Bet Online. Tulane's Jon Sumrall is the betting favorite for LSU.However, Barnhart told Ole Miss Spirit contributor Brad Logan that Kiffin's decision may be tougher than most realize given the unique situation he's built in Oxford.No. 7 Ole Miss (7-1, 4-1 SEC) hosts South Carolina (3-5, 1-5) Saturday at 6 p.m. CT on ESPN.

Kiffin is inarguably one of, if not the top, coaching candidates around. Sources tell the Ole Miss Spirit Kiffin's agent, Jimmy Sexton, is angling to make Kiffin the highest-paid coach in college football. Penn State is already open. LSU could be a possibility.
