I have a question for BoomBoom. Apparently Ole Miss is prepared to offer Kiffen big money in the range of 8-10 million annually. Let's assume Kiffen turns it down and heads on to Auburn. Are you saying that Ole Miss should now advertise the position as a salary range of 8-10 million (they will have proven that they can pay it, and are willing to pay it, since they offered it to Kiffen)? And if they can't find a good candidate and are stuck hiring the offensive line coach from St. Andrews High School in Ridgeland, MS, they are obligated to pay him that type of money, even though that guy has not proven he is anywhere close to the coach that Kiffen is? Because that's what you have been saying in this thread.

My stance is: I might pay Kiffen $8 million, but I ain't paying the O-line coach from St. Andrews High School $8 million. And if Saban wants to come, I might pay $12 million.
