Without some major renewed interest and investment I’m not sure Miami can afford Kiffin and that type of staff. Ole Miss is fixing to overextend the **** out of themselves to ensure money isn’t why he leaves. There’s a big difference between a salary of $7M and $4M. And there’s a big difference in pool of salary money for assistants that’s comparable to those numbers. I’m not saying Miami CANNOT pay that. But they aren’t currently showing anything close to that.
Now Florida on the other hand…
The QB situation up there should be a sticking point. Is there a solution in the portal? Potentially yes (Rattler) but no guarantee. If he doesn’t have a QB and he’s still coaching there next year, it will make him look like dog crap.
If I’m wrong, tell me. Just my observation.
I also don’t think money is everything to Kiffin. He seemingly had opportunities to leave FAU before but chose to stay.
