re: Serious question, how many Ole Miss fans actually thought you'd keep Kiffin 4+ years?

I doubt any rational Ole Miss fan expected Kiffin to be in Oxford for the long haul. From my perspective, he would bring some much needed energy to the program after NCAA probation and Matt Luke. He certainly has done that. If he leaves this year, the program is in much better shape than it was when he took over. There are rumors that Keith Carter is prepared to make him one of the highest paid coaches in college football....if it is about money, he won't need to go anywhere...
