On his radio show this morning he had Paul Finebaum on, and Greg said he has a very good source that told him Auburn has been in contact with a candidate and made an offer and the candidate rejected because it was a low-ball offer.

Said he is asking for a 9-figure deal.

Who on earth would command that if true? Def not Deion. Wouldn't think Lanning could demand that much.

Kiffin? Freeze? Wildcard?

Texas A&M reset the market and Auburn has the right mix of money and desperation to guarantee a $100 million dollar contract. If they actually make an offer like that, they'll certainly entice someone.

Thats what he said. We are in the age of Michigan State giving a guy with 1 winning season a 95 million guaranteed contract.

No. His sources are probably some message board somewhere.

Kiffin

very possible, given his ego

quote:

Lanning

even he knows he can't command that type of money... yet

quote:

Rhule

highly doubtful, given his character...

Kiffin or Freeze, IMO, would be the likely culprits, given the "9 figures" talk

if you are a big name, why wouldn't you ask for 100m+

Jimbo and Tucker and getting it. Hell, OU gave Venables a 50m fully guaranteed for being a career 0-0 coach.

because if he leaves Ole Miss for this, he knows he's going to be a little radioactive for a while and would want guarantees (both $$$ and backing)

It is 100% Kiffin. At this point, we will have to pay it. We can't expect cheap and win.

Why would they lowball Kiffin? Makes zero sense.

No matter who it is, there's a better than average chance it blows up and your stuck with a coach you can't afford to fire like A&M.
