It would be extremely stupid of OM to hire him with his brother in the thick of the NCAA mess. Even though I wouldn't put it past them after everything they've done in the past several years, I don't see it happening.
So how would he try and bring his brother back to the job that he had to leave because of the current NOA that he is listed in? I guess if he gets a show clause then it won't matter because he wouldn't have a job at FAU or wherever Joey Freshwater is now.
There is no upside to hiring Kiffin. But....they may be nutty enough to do it.
Next year maybe...
If he does, he's a bigger idiot than I thought.
He'd be gone in two or three years. Why? He'd have half the boosters pissed at him for screwing their wives and daughters.
Bargaining chip. No coach in their right mind would go to Ole Miss right now.
What coach is going to turn down an SEC job?
OMG !!! I can't BEAR their stupidness!!
Kiffen to OM makes a lot of sense. He is the disgruntled Bama OC that Saban told to **** off right before the NC game and his brother already knows the ins and outs of the shady OM ways.
If I'm Kiffin, I'd have to consider it... Ole Miss > FAU regarding exposure... It's a better "stepping stone"....
They'll have drastically LOW expectations... Plenty of Hos to bang.... and, a HELL of a lot more money....
Hang out in Oxford and try to go .500 until the next stepping shows itself....
Basically, all any OM coach in the future has to do is beat MSU, and he's got a job for life.
Just because people are following him doesn't mean he's interested
That appears that would be a dumb move for both parties, but it is OM and it is Kififn. So all bets are off.
Kiffin cares about one thing. Exposure. Taking an sec job after it has been reduced to nothingness gets him that.
If I was a coordinator or lower level HC with realistic ambitions of having a long, successful career as a HC, I wouldn't touch the ole miss jobs for at least 3 years. I'd wanna know the sanctions first, and then if wanna let someone else take the lumps of a crippled program for a few years before there'd be enough light at the end of the tunnel to formulate a realistic rebuilding plan. Right now there's no realistic rebuilding plan to be made. If the 2nd coming of nick saban was the HC, they'd be lucky to only lose 25 games the next 3 seasons. And the fan base will be looking for a fresh start as they are coming out of NCAA probation too. I'd rather stay a coordinator or the fau HC another year or 2 waiting for a job I could realistically win at within a couple seasons than take a job I know is going to nightmare for the next 3+ years regardless of the HC.
This would have to be someone either looking for a money grab or a chance to be a head coach when they probably won't ever have that chance again. If you do like Tuberville then you spring board to a better program like Auburn. However, if you end up doing a horrible job like Croom then you are lucky to be a RB coach again. For all of the people saying UM will get someone for 5 Mill a year, I am sure they would except they are going to take a big hit on bowl money also. I would also figure that donations will be down after this also. You can't spend like Bama on a USM budget.
The other Kiffin is about to get his punishment.....
Seems like the bowl portion of the payout is at least around $5 Mill every year. I don't know what the TV revenue that would also be associated with bowls would look like. Also throw in that UM just upgraded some stuff so have more bond payments to be made. McGriff is scheduled to make $1 Mill per year for 3 years guaranteed.
Looking at the financial impact, no wonder they are fighting so hard against the NCAA allegations. They get the death penalty for a year or 2 and the Athletic department might not ever recover especially if it lead to getting kicked out of the SEC.
But why spend $5M/year on a coach when even a great coach will struggle to go 4-8 the next 3+ seasons? Matt Luke could probably coach them to 3-9 each year for $1.5M. Then when sanctions are ending, they can hire a guy for $5M that can now actually build something.
That is what they will probably do. Give Luke a chance to get head coach on his resume' but also get the alumni discount. They should be able to win 3 out of 4 nonconference games every year but they will be lucky to beat Vandy for the next few years. I am hoping the NCAA drops such a big hammer that it cripples them not only on the field but financially also. Let's combine Valley, Alcorn, JSU, and Ole Miss then let them dominate the SWAC.
That's all Ole Miss need is another horny coach who can't keep his dick in his pants.
