His buyout isn’t that much is it…like 3 or 4 million?

I don’t understand why a week matters. This is so dumb. Either coach your team through the playoff or make a decision now. Muh Egg Bowl.

Joe Judge will definitely be their coach in the playoffs. He may very will be the permanent HC for next season IMO.

Is the Texas job available on the 28th if the Longhorns get loss #4 to A&M?

Correct. And SMU has very deep pockets

You think Ole Miss has a small field? LOL, try 60+ thousand vs 30+ thousand. SMU isn’t a serious program. Maybe recently but for the first time since the 1980s, lol

Reminds me of Tad Gormley without a track.

how can he sign on the 23rd and still coach on 28th? Ole Miss gonna do an addendum to his current contract to allow this?

His current contract would be nullified, a new one signed for the duration of the new contract (in this case, about 1 week). That frees him up to sign the contract with LSU. This is how it was explained to me.

When the information starts leaking Sunday I'll share some other details, crazy stuff.

If bountyhunter post is accurate, it really won’t matter if Texas job is open. Kiffin will have already signed the LSU contract on Sunday of this weekend.

Thanks for your posts. Everything seems very credible and it certainly sounds to me you know what’s going on.

I hope he’s right. This sounds good too.

LSU has given him until the end of the weekend to sign the contract before they move on.

I respect it takes some time to think it over, but it’s time to make a decision if it’s not Kiffin. Hopefully not Drinkwitz.

One question… if he indeed signs the LSU contract Sunday, it certainly seems possible with leaks that it has the potential to create a toxic environment in the OM locker room and at the University in general throughout the week. Are they concerned with that?

Is there potential backlash from OM fans towards their AD to just be done with it and cut ties during the week?

I can’t see him coaching the Egg Bowl if he signs that contract Sunday. I agree I don’t see how the fans and players tolerate it. It’ll be ugly.

Thank you Bountyhunter for your clarity! I find that all believable and logical. Keep the info coming when you can please.

The Sunday nov 23 deadline is also what I’ve heard.

I hope it’s settled Sunday then. The Prospect of the Texas job opening is starting to activate my Tom Herman PTSD.

Chicken, the actual Employment Agreement will not be ready for signatures in two days. Drafts of the actual Employment Agreement will be passed back and forth between LSU's attorneys (who will draft said Agreement) and Kiffin's attorneys until all the fine details, wording and clauses are hammered out. This will take some time. What Kiffin will be signing will be a Memorandum of Understanding (also known as an "Offer Sheet") that will spellout compensation that was agreed to between the parties, termination clauses and the agreed up liquidated damages.

On the off chance that a contract could be finalized in two days (not a chance in hell) Kiffen signing will not make it enforceable until the BOS meet and approve the contract and empower President Rousse to sign on LSU's behalf. That is a lot to get accomplished in two days.

The Memorandum of Understanding can be signed on the 23rd without causing an adverse effect on Kiffin's current contract with Ole Miss.
