The college football calendar is completely fricked. This is for a ton of reasons some of which is outside CFB control like the academic calendar itself but stuff like signing day needs to be moved to Feb and the portal needs to be in spring only at some point.

I dont blame Kiffin for weighing what is obviously still current better jobs vs staying at somewhere he built. He is operating in the system that was built around him.

Have you ever heard of a coach publicly parading his family around to different campuses while coaching a team that’s very much in the national championship picture?


Typically, I would 100% agree with you. But NCAAF is anything but typical these days. There are opening at Florida, LSU, and PSU (maybe even Texas). These are all better opportunities than OM and it’s SHOCKING all these spots are open. OM needs to handle him with kids gloves or they’re going to find themselves competing with these other schools for a replacement. Kiffin is, by far, the #1 coach feasibly on the market.

ETA: I think he sticks at OM. I think he belongs there and he’s going to turn that program into a powerhouse. He’s going to use this allegiance to OM as a YUGE recruiting tool….”I believe, I need you to believe” kind of deal.

I think it could all be handled significantly more quietly, regardless of the calendar. He is publicly trolling everyone on Twitter, for fricks sake.

As far as I’m concerned, he is going out of his way to publicly humiliate his current team and employer.

I think Ole Miss will be better off without all the Drama, and Kiffin.


They could sign Brian Kelly. He's got that Southern accent down pat. He hired a New York firm to teach it to him.

I get the feeling he is going to Florida. I have family that went to Ole Miss. Gorgeous old South town and University but there's not much going on there other than Ole Miss. If you have ever been to Mississippi it's extremely rural - the entire state only has 3 million people and the largest city feels like Macon to me. LSU seems like they have too much politics going on. Schools like SC and Ole Miss have always been 2nd tier SEC teams. Any young coach that has success at schools like that is going to be courted to go elsewhere. Maybe Kiffin stays but people are acting like these coaches have some kind of allegiance to the schools. In some cases like Kirby there is, but not with Kiffin.

That's the thing, with so many openings, Ole Miss needs to know if he is staying or if they need to start getting into the hunt for a replacement. If all involved were smart, it would be done very quietly, away from public attention. But, as the Spartans told the Macedonians: "If".

As long as you don't go to Florida I'm fine with it because he could definitely give us fits if he goes there. My only problem with LSU is I don't want some governor telling me what to do.

It’s almost pretty certain he isn’t going to FL at this point. It’s going to likely be LSU it seems but I could still see him staying at Ole Miss. he is supposed to be meeting with their AD today so we will likely have our answer.

Fl might be kind of fricked. Sumrall is being said to replace Kiffin. Idk who they plan to get

Almost all signs are pointing LSU with a 90 million dollar contract and commitment of 25 million a year in NIL. This would tie roughly the most NIL spenders in CFB like Ohio State, Texas, and Texas Tech. Pretty sure UGA is somewhere around 17 million

I think having crazy NIL leads to the wrong type player.

Now Kiffin losing to State and then going to LSU is the most Kiffin thing ever

Congrats LSU, you basically repeated the Kelly debacle.

It’s like Kirby said. We aren’t just getting checks at our place we are hitting people

Strong collective, some rev share, and a little NIL with the truth of being an NFL first rounder.
