Ole Miss has countered Auburn's offer
- Thread starter Ibdancin
- Start date
There is only 1 reason why you raise him again this soon and your sports guy says "It's a waiting game"
Because Kiffin got an offer from Auburn and you are trying to keep him.

That's sweet but it ain't about the contract. It's about whether OM can keep up with Auburn in the NIL market.
Part of this announcement is so Ole Miss can tell the team that they’re close to agreeing on a new contract and he’s not leaving. Trying to kill the distraction.
Cohen will announce him next Friday. Kiffin will become the first coach in history to lead a team in the Egg and Iron Bowls in the same year.

1. Kiffin is not leaving Oxford this year probably not for the next few years.
2. If he did take the AU job, he will have had one day, maybe one, with the Tigers before the Iron Bowl. He's not leading the team in the Iron Bowl
3. Aubie fans would go apeshite if Cadillac was pushed to the curb before the Iron Bowl.
Look at what's unwritten.
Nowhere does Richard Cross write Ole Miss has countered Auburn's offer-- only that there's a new offer.
Whoever Kiffin's agent is probably already knows how much he's being offered by whatever university-- whether it's Auburn, aTm, or even Alabama to be their Coach in Waiting™.
** means sarcasm, in case they are needed.
Looks like propaganda to me. Kiffin is already one of the 10 highest paid coaches in College Football at $7.5 Million per season.
Seriously, it's R. Cross, for God's sake. He's just trying to get folks to tune in to his radio show.
No matter what happens, this means there is distraction going on. Good for us.
“Word on the street” in south Alabama, Rane has made Kiffin his number one target and will not be denied. Again, take it for what it’s worth.
One of the guys who is involved in the hiring decision at Auburn. John Cohen is NOT one of those guys, however.
I hope either this circus is playing thru next week or we face a lame duck coach in the Egg Bowl
Tell me, how many times has there been some crazy story ciculating like this in almost every Egg Bowl?

You need to photoshop a yellowwood tag on that
This guy:
If this guy loves Kiffen so much, why does he use Freeze in all his commercials?
AND he will go "all in"
“Lane has an extension on his desk, let’s hope Auburn doesn’t make an offer.”
CFB hires are now all about NIL. If a program with significantly more NIL funds comes for your coach, he is leaving. There is no maybe, it’s a less stressful job now, it’s not just about contract money. There is nothing more stressful than managing turnover, and guess what, the schools with the most money don’t have to do it. You find a way to pay your best players enough to keep them, or they leave and you portal shop for undervalued guys. One job is a hellscape of losing your best talent and putting in long hours identifying the ones others over looked, the other is the land of milk and honey where you tell someone to write a check.
This is where college football ends. Coaches make job decisions not based on the prestige of a program and being paid a lot, but based on how much money a school has to pay players. It’s a sport without a salary cap. It’s stupid and becoming less enjoyable.
USA Today says Kiffin #11 but #10 is only $750K more per year than Kiffin. So, big deal, the Black Shark Land Bears could have raised him that little bit and he would have been Top 10. What an earth shattering breaking story from Dick Cross**
You already have her soul Lucy. The tickets are the icing on the cake.**
Is that in reference to an old Doug Stone song?
But I thought it was on a slow train back to GA?
That depends on what you call a lot of money. In comparison to other SEC schools they don't. They also don't have a lot of NIL money either. It's miniscule in comparison to Auburn.
