I completely agree. Then why doesn’t he say “I’m not taking the Auburn job“.

Even if he said that people would still say “he gone” or quote Saban at Miami for the 1000th time. It literally wouldn’t do anything

How about actually signing the contract extension then?

Like Freeze did? While still being linked to every major job?

It certainly wouldn't hurt.

Lane Kiffin is great. I hope he stays at Ole Miss. The 2 funniest coaches in the SEC are both at the Mississippi schools.

*Finest!

As a coach, I don’t think Kiffin deserves all of the hyp that he gets, but that was very nicely done.

You can spin it however you want, but you know the fact that Kiffin has a new offer with at least a $2M per year raise sitting on his desk that he hasn’t signed speaks more to where he is with Ole Miss than anything.

He’s put his players in a really bad situation going into their rivalry game. He’s put his OM recruiting class at risk. He’s pissing off everyone in Oxford.

If he intended to stay, we’d know by now.

I thought we offered him $9,500,000/year?

The problem at ole miss is there is some law in mississippi that limits length of govt employee contracts to 3 years

So his buyout will never be more than 3x annual salary

So people can always poach him relatively cheap

Auburn needs to bow out of that shite show. There are better coaches to be had with half the drama.

His base is $7.25M.

If the OM offer is $9.5M, that is a $2.25M raise.

Thus the “at least $2M raise”.

Here, let me show you in a way someone from MS will understand:

Its what you just said.

Its what your “insiders” have said.

Its what every OM ranter on the board has been saying.

You tell me? Wouldn’t make sense to offer less than that, but we know Ole Miss is kinda poor.
