According to the coaching change board, Greg McElroy says we’re offering someone..Cubelic didnt refute the claims.

quote:

On his radio show this morning he had Paul Finebaum on, and Greg said he has a very good source that told him Auburn has been in contact with a candidate and made an offer and the candidate rejected because it was a low-ball offer.

Said he is asking for a 9-figure deal.


The only names I could think is Kiffin or Rhule. Freezus and Prime would accept less to come in, I would think...

100,000,000 is 9 figures.

Is it a 10 year contract or even more?

That’s what I would imagine. Jimbo shows that long of a contact would be detrimental with the wrong hire

Journalism at its best. Because we didn’t offer a $100mm, it’s a “low ball offer”. Wtf

You think Grimes would be demanding that much money without being laughed at?

I would imagine that after the perceived instability surrounding the job, we're going to have to pony up for a long term contract. No matter how justified the Harsin firing was, I suspect the possibility of being fired your 2nd year in makes potential hires uneasy.

Apple Podcast Link - starts within the first 5 minutes.
Says 1 offer has been extended and said was not enough to justify leaving. He’s been told that it’s going to require a 9 figure deal. Says Kirby and Saban are the only 2 coaches he could think of that have a current 9 figure deal.

Saban is at $11.7M Dabo $11.5M and Kirby $11.25M

Ok. That’s just what they said on the radio. I guess they couldn’t think of Dabo.

I feel like it has to Kiffin wanting that much. I assumed he would want at least 10mil/year, but didn’t think he would be asking for 10 years. The comment about leaving makes be believe it can’t be Rhule.

fricking pay up. Make a splash. Keep this momentum it feels like is gaining. If we want to be upper crust we have to hire that way. Go all in on him before someone else does. In 5 years with Kiffin is it even possible anyone would say I wish we'd hired Grimes?

Hire for the program we want to be like people dress for the job they want

frick. That. shite!

No way Kiffin is worth $100 Million. Hell is Saban even getting $10 Million/year WITH his new contract extenstion, his 3 Heismans, top 5 classes for almost as long as he's been there, and his fist full of rings?

I hope our guys aren't stupid enough to offer ANYBODY a 10 year deal.

$100 Mill, you give to a guy who has a record of winning championships. I think Kiffin is good, but shite! He has nothing is his entire career, that warrants that kind of money. Hell, Jimbo has a better case for his contract than giving Kiffin that kind of money and long term commitment. Talk about the makings of a recipe for disaster! Imagine he flames out, like his has at a bunch of his other jobs, and we look at paying Gus' contract as "the good ol days".

He’s actually getting $11.7 and Jimbo has about as much of an argument for a contract like that as Gene Chizik.

McElroy doesn’t know anything.
