It seems like a dumb contract number, but this is where the market is moving. You can save 4 million a year and hire Jeff Grimes and then buy him out and do this again in 3 years or you can spend the extra 4 million a year and try to get a guy that has a much higher chance of succeeding. It is a risk, but if the boosters are going to put the money up…

OR you could call a guy at Liberty who'd walk barefoot over lava to Auburn for $6.5MM/yr + $4MM for his staff and you're just as likely to get the same results.

Plain and simple, money is just not an issue for Auburn.

I assume that is option B. Personally, I don’t like Freeze, but he is probably the next best reasonable option.

They deserve what they are about to get if they pay that kind of money for Kiffin.


Lol, UT fans would have paid double that that to keep him from leaving Knoxville.

Oh well. We’ll just hire Freeze back and beat Auburn with him again next year like we did this year

So let me get this straight. Auburn is gonna spend nearly a quarter billion on coaches in a 3 year period?

And if Kiffin loses to Bama and LSU and UGA every season there too what will happen?

What a dumb fricking school full of dumb fricking people

I'm not gonna lie I like this option if the boosters would put the difference into NIL.

Freeze + NIL Roster would be a monster...

A lot of us guessed Harsin was getting fired.

It doesn't mean we have insider information or are Nostra-freaking-damus.

I really want to keep Kiffin but damn, it someone is willing to give him 10 years and that kind of money I wish him the best. When you pay someone that kind of money it's to make a serious run at a championship on a yearly basis or it's a bust. If you're Auburn and you get Kiffin, do you really think he beats Bama or UGA more than 20-25% of the time?

I mean, didn’t he call the exact day/time of his firing? Everyone knew he was getting canned, just not when.
