Was discussed today on hooked on Auburn.

The thought was that it was foregone that he was coming to Auburn.

But you know the longer this takes the tougher it is for him to stay at Ole Miss. if he wanted to. It is definitely impacting their recruiting, their ability to openly court a replacement, etc. His relationship with all parties associated with the school.

My point is, if he stays he certainly has created a tough atmosphere to continue to be an effective coach there. In terms of negotiation, at this point he does not hold all the cards like he did a few short weeks ago.

If he’s coming, he’s already agreed to a contract. No need for more negotiations.

And I think he’s definitely coming.

Everything. His team isn’t distracted for no reason at all. He would’ve already put the distraction to bed.

I just heard a clip on JOX of him after the game.

Some guy asked him about being our #1 target. His response was “Maybe they don’t even want me after watching that first half.”

That’s not very much of a deflection.

If Sexton says we're in a bidding war so wait.

You say, "Yes sir and wait'.

It’s a sign he’s going to Auburn. If he was staying at Ole Miss he’d have signed the extension by now.

My take is the new contract has a much larger buyout and Kiffin/Sexton want to either be able to continue squeezing more money out of OM or/and also keep Kiffin's options open the next couple of years.

Am I the only one who finds it funny the coaching search already has six pages on the Ole Miss board?

It may not be his choice. It's possible Auburn told him to keep it quiet until a certain date. If so, then Kiffin is in a rough position.
