Lane Kiffin - Auburn

Having a hard time believing this one. Auburn folks tend to think more highly of their program than they should. Ole Miss will pony up whatever it takes to keep Kiffin. Kiffin knows that Auburn is a head case with meddling boosters. He will use their interest to get a boost in pay though.

Yeah, it seems to me Kiffin would be a candidate for Alabama, Clemson, TAMU or Texas when those jobs open up.

Of course, there aren't many jobs better than Auburn and they will all come with very high demands.

Ole Miss may have a problem there, Miss law limits how much they can pay a state employee and no more than a 4 year contract. Of course there are ways around this with booster money, or maybe they can get Brett Farve to divert some more money from medicare or something?

Google says this:

Kiffin will make $7.25 million in 2022 and receive a $100,000 raise every year through the contract's expiration in 2025. Mississippi law prohibits a public employee from signing a contract longer than four years. A clear majority of Kiffin's contract is not paid by the university.

What is "many?" There are at least a dozen jobs better than Auburn. There are probably five in the SEC alone . . . Bama, ugag, LSU, UF and TA&M. Texas, Oklahoma, tOSU. Michigan. USC(w). ND. Oregon. Penn State. Clemson (?). Tennessee (?). FSU (?).

good call on UF, skipped that one
OSU, Michigan, Tennessee: already set for now

FSU, Oregon, Penn State, ND, Oklahoma: not better than Auburn
USC(w): I don't see them hiring Kiffin again, also set for now

If Auburn wins out, their fanbase will riot if they don't give the job to Cadillac.

Cadillac is actually from my hometown of Gadsden, Alabama, and attended Etowah High School. We only overlapped by one year, and our high schools didn't play each other that year due to different classification levels, but his legend loomed large. I hope he continues to do well.

Where are you seeing confirmation of this?

Honestly, I may have jumped the gun. Twitter was abuzz that something official was coming but that hasn’t happened yet.
I still wouldn’t be surprised given how frustrated Kiffin seemed to be after Saturday’s loss.

Anniston, AL native myself. Went to Weaver High.
El Tapatia in Gadsden used to be my go-to Mexican spot, I believe they had two locations.

Pretty sure Oklahoma has the most wins in all of college football since WW2.

If you think Auburn is better than ND and Oklahoma, that can only be regional bias.

Pretty sure their coach just dumped them for USC. And ND coach also dumped them.

Sure, Auburn is not USC, but I don't think Auburn is that far behind Oklahoma if any at all in the 21st century.

I just don't see a coach saying "Auburn is offering now, but I'm gonna wait around for that Oklahoma job opening up."

Oklahoma and ND have also embarrassed themselves every time they’ve been on the national stage for 20 years because they can’t compete with SEC elites.

Despite being a total clusteröööö, Auburn has a natty, and almost won 2 more in the last 20
Years.

Why would Auburn hire a coach that can't beat Bama?

They’ll think he can get better players at Auburn and that, since he’s close to the top at Ole Miss, he can get over the edge there. I don’t buy it, personally, but I’ve got a lot of Auburn friends who do.
