LSU AD Ausberry Backs Ole Miss CFP Ban on Kiffin 5 Months After Exit

Verge Ausberry told USA TODAY Sports LSU would have made the same call as Ole Miss, saying a coach who had already taken a rival job should not stay on for a playoff run.
Lane Kiffin had informed Ole Miss after the Egg Bowl that he would not sign a new deal and was taking the LSU job, ending any realistic chance of coaching the Rebels in the CFP.
Keith Carter had already decided more than a month earlier that if Kiffin left, he would not coach Ole Miss in the postseason, amid concerns about divided loyalties and player movement.
Ausberry's comments cut against months of debate from figures including Nick Saban and ESPN voices who argued Kiffin should have been allowed to finish the season.
