I’m talking 10 or more wins every year. And when 12 team playoff happens we get in there a good amount. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true, AU will annihilate any contract Ole Miss can conjure up. It's true. There might be a way to compensate him privately to make up a little of the difference but they can't cover it all and him being a state employee complicates that. Essentially, for Ole Miss to match an offer from Auburn and it be legally binding (not just verbal promises), they'd have to cram the same amount of money into fewer years. So (this is a very rough comparison) if Auburn offers 7 years, $70M ($10M per year) for example, to match it, OM would have to do $17.5M over 4 years, give or take. I'm not lawyer or agent either so if I'm missing a piece to this someone let me know, but this is how it was explained to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roe4christ 980 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Saw this a few minutes ago. The impression I’m getting from various reports across the Auburn landscape is that Auburn was set on Kiffin, but then 1-2 other coaches not being considered came forward quietly. In a kind of Kelly-LSU way. We’ll see, but that would give AU some leverage anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWALA Tiger 3,698 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Smoke on the web is this candidate that has inquired about the job is Dabo Swinney. Not really buying it.. BUT, I'm also not sure he is the type to put his name out there for more money from Clemson. Reading the tea leaves, he pretty much knows he has to go undefeated at Clemson to get in the CFP. That's not the case in the SEC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodford 3,751 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Auburn shouldn’t be FICKELL about this situation….they should want to URBANIZE their environment….Because DABO knows….. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardin Drake 2,085 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Not buying it, but Dabo would be a break the bank kind of hire. He'd actually be worth the Kiffen money we are talking about. And then some. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hikerdns 52 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 the reverse Heisman move....aka the Dabo lest we forget, Dye played at UGA and coached at Bama.

Urban needs no explanation but I’ve seen several times this negativity towards dabo. Anti NIL, ceo type (that’s now bad?), grumblings about some au smack, ect. On paper, given his age and where Clemson was, he should be the most coveted coach in college football. Did last year ding him that much? What am I missing? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
