Yeah. They’re gonna do everything they can to keep him. And they may succeed.
He makes $9 mill now at OM so that’s not really a lucrative. Deal especially since OM is gonna match anyone. I think Bama, LSU, Miami and Texas are about the only ones he would leave for.
UF is a dumpster fire CURRENTLY, but Florida has won 3 national championships in the last 30 years & been to 13 SECCG since 1992 under 4 different head coaches plus they have won 3 men's basketball national championships in the last 20ish years along with a baseball natty. The Athletic Department has lots of resources and they are in a state that continues to grow. Finally there is a limit to how much longer the shadow of Jeremy Foley (72 years old) will dominate the athletic department along with Steve Spurrier (80 yrs old) the football program.
I’ve not heard from anyone but I guarantee that ole miss is working on an extension. Not sure id consider this a rumor.
They’d be crazy not to. This is the only above average hire they’ve made since Tuberville (maybe Cutcliffe).
All that history was pre-NIL. The game has fundamentally changed. Quit using pre-NIL, pre-Portal logic. UF has never even made the CFP. All their success was in the old system. Indiana and Texas Tech are real players in this new world. Think about that for a second, it’s not 2008 anymore.
My thought until something changes drastically is , I believe he will end up signing a massive extension but with another small buyout. I think he is wanting LSU, bama , Texas
Pretty sure NIL is NOT one of Floridas problems.
I'm not even understanding the claims that UF is a "dumpster fire". Napier isn't winning games, but his roster is pretty stacked, and they have the NIL support. They just need to find the right coach.
Sure, but the idea that you need to go to a “Top 10” job to win big is dying. You can make the playoff in a lot of places now that you couldn’t a few years ago. I mean Texas Tech is much closer to the playoff than UF. So rattling off their BCS prowess isn’t really a selling point.
Yeah, I don't agree with this. Prestige matters and Florida has been a consistently good program. Recent nattys. There's no reason to think they wouldn't be big players in NIL. They just need the right guy at the helm.
What you mean is that Texas Tech is closer to making the playoff and getting the shlt kicked out of them in the quarterfinals. There are serious contenders and unserious contenders that will make the playoff every year.
This feels like cope because our rival is gonna make it. If we were making the playoff no one here would be talking like this. Yes, the first round was lopsided in the first year of the playoff. That’s too small a sample size to make sweeping declarations.
Why would you put words in my mouth? I don't care whether Ole Miss makes it or not. I'm not one of those guys.
I don’t know man. ASU certainly looked like they belonged when they took Texas to the brink.
Correct, but Florida is also pretty well respected from a sports standpoint. "Only" a $2M raise, something over 20%.
Maybe Florida needs to sweeten the deal, offer him 13 or 14, not mention better weather, especially in the winter, a larger town but not huge, a more storied program, etc. Admittedly, though - Kiffin has sort of a similar personality as OM's students and supporters. 
Just a guess, but isn't Kiffin one of, maybe the, highest salaried person in Mississippi? Prestige from that standpoint. He's certainly one of the best known.
TT isn't in the SEC. Harder to make it in the sec not being a top then than when in BIG 12
Gainesville is a much more desirable place to live than Baton Rouge, in my opinion.
LSU in 2025 is 5x the job Florida is too.
They would’ve beaten probably any other team in the 1st round not named Ohio state , I would’ve taken them to beat Penn state
