Now that’s an attention getting headline.

Obviously you meant Kiffin.

And you made the edit before I posted.

Dellenger just tweeted that he hasn't signed yet and the offer has been there for several days now. You gotta think the high brass at that school are pretty pissed at him at this point.

Didn’t the State rule that schools can’t get around the 4-year rule by running contracts through their foundations back when they tried to give Tubberville a 10-year deal?

Yep. Max is 4.

The weird law that prevents a lengthy Lane Kiffin contract

A unique Mississippi state law prevents Lane Kiffin and other coaches from receiving lengthy contracts like the one Nick Saban has.

Six year base with rollovers make it eight.

Again, per Dellenger.

Contracts take time for both parties to review.

Lane is a fantastic OC.

I wonder if this means he gets more guaranteed money due to the funding coming from the foundation instead of his place of employment.

After reading that article no school is limited to 4 years. If the college board or president allows the Private foundations to guarantee additional years it is legal. Interesting.

The state didn’t rule on it. It was shot down by Robert Khayat.

I believe he was referring to the IHL. If they somehow reversed that ruling, either every school would have the limitation lifted, or we'd end up in court at some point (which this might anyway, given how things go these days).

This is good news for us. If he stays, we get to spank that azz for 10 more years. If he goes, we get to get our popcorn out and watch the shitbird fan melt down.

Damn, Lane. Tone deaf or trolling your own fan base.

Keith Carter on Kiffin’s new deal:

"We would not do an 8-year deal," Carter said point blank, "but we do have a rollover stipulation beyond four years through the foundation."

There you go. Whether Dellenger decided to make his headline more dramatic to help UM or because someone who leaked it to him cared more about appearances, I'm not sure.

Per a Google search, we’re both right. Kind of. Khayat didn’t like it so he got the IHL to rule that the contract couldn’t circumvent the 4-year rule. But since that’s not a legal AG opinion or court ruling, I assume the IHL could easily reverse it if it wants to.

Do you have a link where he is quoted saying that?

or a tweet quote.

So can we assume this is what happened? Vain Kiffin’s stock plummeted the last couple weeks. Carter provided a counter offer after Cohen’s initial offer, which was provided after the UNM UAT game. Cohen, who certainly knows intrinsic value and understands not overpaying, did not see the value in Vain that Northern Miss was offering and did not up the ante.

Right. It just simply never made it there.
