Oregon and Lanning signed the initial MOU before Georgia played the playoff game.He kept coaching at Georgia while under a binding early agreement.(2021)

Sexton having old contracts on file doesn’t make a new one instant. The long-form deal still has to go through lawyers on both sides for buyouts, clauses, bonuses, assistant pool, etc. That’s why schools use MOUs/term sheets lock in the numbers now while the full contract gets finalized.

If the rumor is true, what he would have signed yesterday isn’t the full employment contract those take weeks or months to finalize because lawyers from both sides have to draft the long-form deal. What usually gets signed early is an MOU or a term sheet, which basically locks in the key numbers (years, salary, buyout, incentives). An MOU can be binding depending on how it’s written, and schools use them all the time so a coach can agree to terms while still coaching his current team. There’s nothing stopping him from coaching the Egg Bowl and signing an agreement the same day it happens every year during coaching carousel season. The only reason the news hasn’t run with it is because they need verifiable proof. If he signed something yesterday and they’re trying to keep it quiet until the time is right, it makes sense people around the program would hear it but the media wouldn’t report it yet. Supposedly the press release is still set for Friday at 3:00 PM if everything holds together. Again, believe it or don’t I was just passing along what I was told:
?? He signed the agreement yesterday
?? 13.5M per year
?? Press release planned for 3:00 PM Friday (After Egg Bowl)

Also Look, LSU TAF doesn’t draft the coach’s contract that’s done by LSU’s legal department and the Board of Supervisors. BUT people in TAF do see the financial framework because they’re the ones who have to confirm the funding, the private contributions, and the donor commitments long before anything becomes public. TAF handles the money behind the scenes the boosters, the pool for salary, the private side of the compensation package. They’re in the room when the numbers are built. That’s why my source would know: they’re connected to the financial side, not the legal side. And no, the full long-form contract isn’t done yet those take weeks or months. What gets signed early is an MOU (basically the agreed-upon terms). Coaches sign MOUs every year before their season is even over. He can coach the Egg Bowl and sign an agreement the same day. It happens constantly during the coaching carousel. Media hasn’t reported anything because they don’t run with rumors unless they see the physical document or get direct confirmation. Without proof, reporters can’t touch it. But the people inside the program can know before the media does that’s how it always works.

Y’all don’t have to believe me, but here’s what I was told by someone high up in TAF he signed the contract yesterday. They’re trying to keep it quiet because no media outlet has hard proof yet, which is the only reason nothing is public. Deal is for $13.5M a year, and the press release is supposed to drop Saturday at 3:00 PM.
And yes he can still coach the Egg Bowl because coaches finish out their rivalry week/game before anything goes official. Believe it or don’t, but I’m literally just passing on what I heard. And this guy is 100 percent correct

The press release will be at. 3:00pm Saturday!!!!

You don’t have to believe me I’m just repeating what I was told by someone who’s pretty connected at TAF. I literally made this account just to share it, and somehow y’all are acting like I’m making it up. Believe it or don’t, but no need to hate.

“He told me not to say nothing lane Kiffin signed the contract yesterday. They’re gonna announce it after the egg bowl game.”
13 1/2 mill a year

Take this for what you will but come from a source high up at TAF
