Kiffin at $15 mil/year…or your second choice at $10 mil/year?

I know the initial thoughts are “it’s not my money so why do I care?” But, what if it was your money? Or, what if you had $35 mil to spend on a coach’s annual salary and the annual NIL. How would you split that $35 mil? The coach you ultimately hire is your decision.

If the 2nd choice is Dilly, I’m still taking Kiffin. Props to Dilly, but he fluked his way to the playoff with Skat and a perfect recipe imho

Depends on who is the second choice.

Depends on the second choice. Lincoln Riley or Eli Drinkwitz? No thanks.

I really wanted Kiffin as OC when we hired O. I really wanted Kiffin when we hired Kelly. Now I really really want Kiffin over anybody.

I see the concept of the question is too hard for you to grasp. I’m sorry. Try another thread.

Kiffin has two CUSA titles as a coach. That's his best accomplishment. He made a bad UF offense look good this past weekend. He is way overrated. LSU would get a better coach and cheaper with Drink.

If I want the 15m dollar coach, I would ask for more money to cover so I have the same amount in NIL money. And if the boosters said no, I would understand that winning is not that important to them and they probably deserve the cheaper coach.

I would take the guy who has the third most wins of any SEC team since 2020.

And all of those SEC wins have resulted in what exactly?

I think you could get a solid coach at $10 mil and have a larger war chest for the jimmy’s and John’s. That’s what you need to win. You need superior players. Les and O proved that theory out.

How has Kiffin make his way to the playoffs?

A playoff birth this year and potentially a first round bye if they move up a little. Not bad for a program who was 15-21 the prior 3 years before he got there and has been a consistent basement dweller int he SEC for most of the 2000's.

Ole Miss isn't supposed to win national championships and the fact that he has them in the playoffs speaks to what he has accomplished.
