I could see Kiffin making the jump to AU easily. He's already in the same division with the GOAT, but AU's ceiling is higher than OM's ceiling is -- AU can put together the resources necessary to win a natty better than OM can.

Kiffin at OM doesn't concern me. Kiffin at AU does.

Kiffen will never win a national championship. Doesn't matter where he goes!

Isn’t he already making like $7 million a year? Dude would be crazy to go to Auburn. He can win 7-8 games a year at Ole Miss and they will be happy.

OR 9-10 and they're ecstatic, he's got a good gig at OM. I don't see him jumping under the red hot microscope of Auburn only to be micromanaged just for a extra million a yr.

I'm not sure Kiffin is rational like that. He knows he doesn't have the platform at Ole Miss to bark at Saban/Kirby very often. I don't think he's in their tier but he's obviously pretty driven by the idea of pursuing that level or at least being a notable thorn in their side.

Whether he views Auburn as a significant enough move to jump - who knows. But he's long been rumored to be interested in the AU gig. Presumably we'd have to pay tier 1 money for a guy who isn't at that level, so I'm mixed on it.

These threads always crack me up.

He’s going to Miami! He loves to fish and wants to be by the water!!

He’s going to Oregon! He loves the Phil Knight / Nike connection!!

He’s going to AU!! The ceiling is higher!!

He’s not going anywhere bud

Why would he live in Opelika?

The fact that he has lobbied for every decent opening the last 3 years does not bode well for a long and distinguished tenure at OM.
