It's a win win situation, from a financial perspective, for Kiffin if he goes to

[Todd4State]

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.

I heard Saban and Kiffin don't exactly have a lot of love lost for each other.

Kiffin endorsed Deion for the Auburn job. I've never seen a coach do that before then turn around and go to that school. I think he's happy at Ole Miss.

Mullen will fail anywhere that actually has expectations

8 wins and beat your rival more than they beat you

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

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.

There are several things that Kiffin is not happy with at OM, and the only thing that Auburn can't provide is the big city life (which OM can't either). I can't see where Nebraska would even be in the conversation, or on his and/or Sexton's radar. What would be the benefit and what would he have to gain by going to Nebraska?

I think Nebraska would definitely be on the radar. If they offer him $10M a year with an 8 year guarantee, they are going to listen and they are going to tell Ole Miss and any other interested parties what the deal is and where they need to be.

Now, would Kiffin actually go to Nebraska? I would think not unless it really was a godfather offer. I'm just not sure Nebraska is willing to step out there with a Jimbo type offer (which is what I think it would take), especially seeing how that's working for A&M.
