If Ole Miss really gave Lane a deadline, he would be dumb to sign with LSU or UF right now

Because of this:

quote:

As of December 1, 2025, if Ole Miss decides to fire Kiffin without cause, he is set to get a $36.6 million buyout, which is the 15th-largest buyout in college football, according to USA TODAY. His contract also contains no mitigation clause, and so any future earnings would not reduce the amount owed to him.


quote:

Meanwhile, if Kiffin chooses to leave Ole Miss on his own, the buyout payments owed to the university by his next employer would be structured as follows: $3 million after this season, $2 million following the 2026 season, and $1.5 million in subsequent years.



frick that. I would let them fire me.

Per my friends who are major OM boosters the ultimatum is not sign the extension or be fired. It is sign the extension or we are pulling the offer. What to do if he says no but does not immediately leave has not been decided yet. They are furious with him for not shutting down the rumors and swearing unyielding and unquestioning loyalty to the Sip.

They wouldn’t fire him. They would just pull his extension offer and start looking for another coach.

I thought the deadline involved him not coaching the egg bowl and beyond?

As opposed to waiting for him to leave officially in a month then have the candidates we wanted already taken?
