On November 30, Coach Kiffin accepted a seven-year deal to become the next head coach at LSU.[1] Kiffin, having accepted the deal, requested athletic director Keith Carter to be allowed to coach the team through the College Football Playoff, but his request was denied. As such, defensive coordinator Pete Golding was named the team’s permanent head coach, and began his tenure with the playoff.[2] On November 28, after a 38–19 victory over arch-rival Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl, the Rebels accomplished their first 11-win regular season in their history.
The team’s aforementioned appearance in the College Football Playoff was their first in program history as well, and in the tournament, the Rebels defeated Tulane in the first round and Georgia in the quarterfinal Sugar Bowl matchup, thus setting a new program record for most wins in a season with 13, and advanced to the national semifinals where they were defeated by Miami. The team earned a No. 3 final ranking in both the AP poll and Coaches Poll, their first top 3 or top 5 finish in either poll in 63 years. The Rebels’ 2025 season is widely considered their best since the early 1960’s.
The Ole Miss Rebels drew an average home attendance of 66,772, the highest of all American football teams from Mississippi.[3]
