    I agree but am concerned How much better is it going be next year? I keep hoping there’s someone out there no one is thinking of, in the good way not the espn is ending their Heisman coverage and just mentions in passing we’re hiring Muschamp.

    This is a sneaky funny joke, and I think most folks missed it.
    Perhaps he could hire Taylor Jacobs as his WR coach?

    Love that video.
    Kiffin doesn't seem to take himself too seriously.

    His girlfriend has the same dry sense of humor as he does.

    yep man thats my only concern too; you can’t afford to continue with THIS but can’t let that deter you from going out there and getting another HC. My only concern is the mindset of some may be “get someone better than Napier” as oppose to get someone who will get us back to being ELITE. Like I don’t feel that’s Lincoln Riley. If he can field a competent D in two conference, no way he’ll field one here. HC searches are a crap shoot anyways, we’ve just been wrong A LOT recently

    Is she in her SR year at Ole Miss? He may not want to leave until she graduates.

    People are wild if they think he is making any sincere not so cryptic tweets about being the coach at Florida while he's actively coaching a playoff contender. There would have to be some serious issues between him and their administration for him to be so disrespectful to his present team and employer. Gator fans are beaten down though so I understand grasping at any hope real or make believe.

    I thought that was his daughter at first. Maybe she’s going to New York for coeds.

    I did not, and I thought he was a pervert. If he is going to be our coach, I am going to have to start trying to not think the worst of him right off the bat

    Something like that.

    At some point he will say either:
    1. I'm not going to comment on hypothetical offers.
    2. I'm focused on winning at Ole Miss as long as they want me.
    3. I'm focused on (next opponent).
    4. I am not interested in the Florida job.

    Or all of the above.

    He is an epic troller. Don’t take it too seriously, one way or the other.

    In my head--- UF

    well, that’s his daughter, and I can promise you that as a father, my daughter would not want me on campus where she goes to college during her senior year

    coaches making less money will listen to florida -- money is too big
    will be over 8 million per year, with up to 1.5 million in bonuses bases upon wins. This number is probably higher now with the playoffs. I wouldn't doubt if UF went to 10 million per year base.
    coach gets 7.5 million for assistants and 5 million more for support staff and recruiting personal. (ole miss is 5.3 million and 2.2 million)
    access to UF aircraft for business and then 70K for personals


    16. Clark Lea, Vanderbilt Commodores – $3.05 million
    15. Jeff Lebby, Mississippi State Bulldogs – $4.51 million
    14. Sam Pittman, Arkansas Razorbacks – $5.25 million
    13. Shane Beamer, South Carolina Gamecocks – $6.125 million
    12. Hugh Freeze, Auburn Tigers – $6.5 million
    11. Mike Elko, Texas A&M Aggies – $7 million
    10. Brent Venables, Oklahoma Sooners – $7.25
    9. Billy Napier, Florida Gators – $7.5 million
    8. Lane Kiffin, Ole Miss Rebels – $8.85 million
    T-5. Mark Stoops, Kentucky Wildcats – $9 million
    T-5. Josh Huepel, Tennessee Volunteers – $9 million
    T-5. Eliah Drinkwitz, Missouri Tigers– $9 million
    4. Brian Kelly, LSU Tigers – $9.5 million
    3. Steve Sarkisian, Texas Longhorns – $10.3 million
