He would have to be actually coaching here for me to know that. Are you planning on paying him over $9 milllion a year? He doesn't want to be at OM . He wanted the Auburn job, but they didn't think he was worth a $120 million 10 year contract. They offered initially a $72 million 6 year contract and they may have negotiated up some on that, but the bottom line is Auburn didn't think Kiffin was worth what he thought he was. So he took the somewhere around $70+ million 8 year contract extension that OM offered. It will be interesting if OM thinks he is worth $9+ million a year until he finds his next coaching gig and says Bye Bye OM.
Reading that 8 year deal might violate state law. Is he a state employee or coaching at a state college while being paid by a private firm?
