Auburn or stays at OM, because Sexton is going make sure Kiffin gets a big pay day, from this, with a new contract from either school . Kiffin is probably Sexton's client with the most clout or value currently to improve both of their financial situations very substantially. So wherever Kiffin winds up, that school and it's Boosters are going to have to pay him a lot of money.
10 million per year bare minimum
I think it?s going to be above that because Nebraska , auburn , ole miss , and there?s a small chance of Texas A&M getting in on the bidding war
He's staying at ole miss or going to Nebraska. He owes all this success to Saban. He's not going to auburn unless Saban gives him and sexton his blessing.
Lane isn?t going to turn down 120 million from the school of the deaf and blindQuote:

The most important is money , Lane has openly stated he doesn?t like Mississippi Law that only gives 4 year contracts to state employees , so if ole miss offered Lane a 10 million dollar contract , it could only total to be 40 million guranteed and at Nebraska and auburn , he could get it up to 100 million
Also Auburn is a place you can win a national title with and they are about to reveal their new 100 million dollar new football facility they just built.
Nebraska is about to make him say no.Quote:

Joey Freshwater has no use for all of that corn.
Honestly I think he’s staying put. Little Joey Freshwater is about to be born if he hasn’t already been born.
Eh, even if there wasn't evidence to the contrary, Kiffin doesn't strike me as the sentimental type that would extend any love to a former employer. If anything I think he'd be hesitant to have to go play Saban under high expectations every year.Quote:

Mullen will fail anywhere that actually has expectationsQuote:

The Mullen way, and I?ll take it for 7 million per year.

Where has Kiffin coached so far? Tennessee, Southern Cal, Florida Atlantic, Ole Miss. All warm weather schools. Nebraska? Not so much.Quote:

Yeah, he's not going to get far from his big, freaking mansion in south florida. If anything he wants to get closer. He's a warm weather coach, heck I would be too! I hate the cold!Quote:

It's all about the money. An Ole Miss "friend" approached me today and asked me why Cohen went to Auburn. I said because of money. He said it seemed a lateral move. I responded that it wasn't lateral in money. He smirked a little so I informed him that Lane Kiffin may stay at Ole Miss but it will be because of money. Lane Kiffin did not move from Boca ****ing Raton to Oxford, MS for anything but money. If he could make $7.5M at Florida Atlantic he would be there.
Nick Saban has a clause in his contract that stipulates he makes the most money. In the end it's all about the money!
Why?Quote:

Bit of a tangent here, but Mullen benefited tremendously from playing some absolutely abysmal OM teams. He was 2-4 against them when they finished 6-6 or better. His outlook on coaching somewhere where the rival is consistently decent is not so bright.Quote:
