The LSU Tigers have been waiting along with the rest of the college football world to see what Ole Miss Rebels head coach Lane Kiffin is going to decide on his future.
While there has been no reported decision from Kiffin, his representatives and the Tigers have reportedly been taking steps to secure what is going to happen should the coach pick LSU.

LSU would pick up Kiffin and his family from Oxford on Sunday, if plans hold.
While this doesn't 100% confirm that Kiffin will pick the Tigers, it does back up the previous feeling of confidence from the school that has been reported across the sport throughout Saturday.
Travel plans like this get figured out before a deal gets accepted, but it's usually towards the end of the road. A deal could now be in place and waiting on Kiffin to give the final go-ahead.

That will be the next big thing to watch out for. At the time of writing, all parties appear to be awaiting for the conclusion of the Iron Bowl, which would see the Rebels make it to the SEC championship, should the Auburn Tigers beat the Alabama Crimson Tide.
After a long Saturday of waiting, a decision could be in soon.
