About 4-5 million reasons why. I agree - the burning dumpster fire that is Ole Miss football is not at all attractive. But, what Ole Miss needs right now is a veteran coach that is willing to take in several million a year to simply manage the program through the shitstorm that is coming. Nobody is expecting Ole Miss to be a winner, much less a contender, over the next several years. So, expectations would be very low and the pay very good. That isn't going to cause anyone to switch jobs to go to Ole Miss, IMHO. But, for those that are wanting the money without a bunch of pressure, it's going to be enticing for a few.

Les Miles doesn't seem like the type to go to a program that is going to be on probation for awhile. He wants to win.

Agreed. Unless the NCAA lets Ole Miss off with a slap on the wrist, which looks very unlikely, they will need a caretaker coach to manage the program through the coming years and put them in position to bounce back once this is all over. If I was an up and coming coach I'd only take the job if I had an iron clad contract that guarantees me employment through the coming lean years.
