Historically, you’re right. They will fail to be ruthless when it comes to Napier’s buyout, and they will go hire some nobody who had a decent year at Sacajawea State University in Montana. Nothing wrong, though, with letting the university know who we want.
$12-15 for new SALARIES. Kiffin plus his assistants will be close to that number. I still don't believe he'd come here. In addition, the coach that does come here will have another massive buyout clause in his contract.
We aren’t the only school interested in kiff. He’s going to move for a raise.kiff will have options. We may be the best option but he is going to get paid if he is willing to move on. His job isn’t so bad at the moment. He hasn’t beaten a major team and he’s a savior. At UF, he has to beat Georgia on some type of time limit and that isn’t ten years.
They pay him 10 million with his bonuses (8.75 base salary), 3 million more than Napier makes. He isn't taking a pay cut to come to UF.
Nope, he will listen to guaranteed amount too. This is maybe his only chance at getting a really big payday. Shit goes south for almost all coaches once they hit the big stage. Ol miss ain’t it but it has him standing at the podium ready for takers.
Which school is a better option for Kiffin than Florida? Sounds like something his agent said... rumors to get a big raise from Florida...
He will have options and if it’s solely for money, he will move on and get that big payday at the end of this year. If it were me, I can get by on $10 million a year so I would probably just stay wherever I’m happiest and day-to-day life.
The which school will pony up the cash is the more pertinent question. Thinking he wants the prestige and ipo over the bag has been a UF folly for a while now.
he is not coaching and could come in immediately- change what he could build a rapport with Lags , improve recruiting and be ready for the portal- remember we are allowed 110 scholly’s starting in 25 so he could rebuild quickly
I only remember Notre dame being his preferred destination that he never got opportunity for. Certainly he had opportunities and that’s the only coach in my lifetime that I remember us taking the guy everyone wanted.
If you could give Bob Stoops or Urban a contract they would accept, I would take either. We need a caretaker that can turn this program around. Don’t want a young coach, don’t want a coach that has never coached top leagues and Urban/Stoops played for national championships.
Spurrier also had other choices. My memory does not allow me to go back any further than that. Without looking it up, I think I was, like, two when Charley Pell got hired. Also important to remember that we get to learn very little in a coaching search until it’s done. We all thought we were after Chip Kelly a few years back. Then suddenly we weren’t after him at all, and Mullen was our “top choice” all along. But we don’t know. Maybe lost a bidding war with UCLA and Mullen was our face-saving out.
I think you're missing what I'm saying. He deserves what he's getting paid at Ole Miss... but show me the school that wants him other than maybe Florida. Who is it?
There will be a handful I’d guess. LSU, Michigan at the moment. As the season plays out, some other coaches may not have the season they expect? Oklahoma. Clemson… Does Ohio state lose 3? It’s going bad at fsu. I don’t have confidence that kiff is that guy but he could get his shot a the biggest contract ever if he were able to somehow knock off Georgia. Weird shit can happen. Maybe ole Miss gets boat raced a few times and his stock goes down.
