Rick Cleveland on Kiffen

[L4Dawg]

Is Kiffin worth $9 million a year? Even the question is absurd

Lane Kiffin is a remarkable offensive football mind. But as a head coach, his record is far from remarkable.

10 wins in one season at Mississippi and 18 (maybe 19) in 2 is pretty good.

 

[Grover777]

He’s lost four of five, and finished fourth in the west behind us. Take away Corrall and what is he ? He’s above average but not elite. He goes 2-6 in the sec with our schedule this year.

he’s going to Auburn but for less money, his star is fading.

[OG Goat Holder]

He’s a good coach, not great. End of story.

None of these guys are worth the money being paid to them. Not even Saban. **** is bonkers.

 

[Preacher Franklin]

One of the absolute best articles I've ever read. Mr Cleveland is spot-on. A few things he missed, Lane failed to show on time for the team bus at Alabama, was late to several meetings with Saban and never got his graduate degree from Charm School.

Agree but the market demands it. No telling how much revenue Saban's generated in Tuscaloosa.

Your command of market supply and demand is truly insightful.

By the way, how's that Target for Starkville Project coming along? You finally making any progress? Or just being your normal whiny, complaining self?

Alabama's President says Saban is worth every penny. Its a sad commentary on our nation, I guess, but with Saban winning championships enrollment is WAY up at Alabama, along with alumni donations (and not just donations to athletics). Licensing royalties are way up, too.

It is absurd that college football is this important, but the right coach can be a great investment by a University.

I agree. America is in sad shape and it's going to get worse -- much worse. Prayfully, the tide turns a little after Jan.

Saban is underpaid for what he generates at Bama. He does cause many other schools to overpay though.

A person's job worth is what the employer is willing to pay. Just like your house if you sell it. It's worth what somone else is willing to pay for it.

 

[onewoof]

Both Harsin and Malzahn made significantly more money per year than the Saban.

Once you add in the buyouts. They got PAID.

They are worth what the market says they are worth.

100% concur. What has happened to the University since Saban got there is remarkable. The revenue he generates for the university far outweighs his salary.

What do you mean by he’s going to Auburn for less money? Less than what?

you are a dimwit

 

[thatsbaseball]

OM supposedly has 10 mil in NIL Money ?

 

[hdogg]

Rick Cleveland is a treasure. Great article.

 

[chuckster.sixpack]

you are a dimwit

You posted he was going to Auburn for less money.

Less than he‘s making at Ole Miss now? Less than Ole Miss will offer for him to stay? Less than Auburn offered in the “done deal” you previously referenced?

Less than what?

 

[Grover777]

Wow, when are you going to apologize for your horrible egg bowl predictions ?

 

[chuckster.sixpack]

Wow, when are you going to apologize for your horrible egg bowl predictions ?

I thought Ole Miss would win. I also thought MSU would beat LSU and Kentucky. I was wrong about those games too. Sue me.

Now, once again, less than what?

It’s no wonder your podcast has 47 listeners. Dumb content

I don’t have a podcast.

Less than what?

 

[Duke Humphrey]

I get (and agree) with what Rick is saying, but when UK is paying Mark Stoops $9m per year… yea, that’s what you are going to have to pay.

and Kiffin will be in the $10m a year range at AU

Try keto, man you’ve got to be pushing 400 pounds

I’ve done Keto. Got below 200 but it ran my Cholesterol up so my physician told me to ease up.

Less than what?

 

[Grover777]

I wasnt talking to you, are you overweight ?

 

[chuckster.sixpack]

I wasnt talking to you, are you overweight ?

Its the day after Thanksgiving. So, yes.

Less than what?

 

[M R DAWGS]

Since the switch to on3, the douches have taken root. WTF is wrong with you losers?

Grover, did you just have your first period? I can’t read your posts without wanting to gouge my eyes out. You are the worst.

One of the absolute best articles I've ever read. Mr Clevland is spot-on. A few things he missed, Lane failed to show on time for the team bus at Alabama, was late to several meetings with Saban and never got his gratuate degeee from Charm School.
