BREAKING Reported Florida Offers Kiffin

[Rocky Mtn Bob]

I can’t stand him or his tactics.

Usually you only leverage an employer when your are not being valued or taken care of to the point you are truly undervalued and not being appreciated.

All these guys are obscenely greedy and use any opportunity to pit schools against one another.

Also true.

It all comes down to supply and demand. Lose a few games and the fans are demanding a new coach. The agents job is supply one.

I think Kiffin stays put. Dude has a cherry job and really don't think he is money motivated.

Franklin is a train wreck!

translation - perfect fit for FL!

Kiffin's new contract is $9 mil. a year $63 million through the end of 2031. Plus bonuses. He will get a bonus of $2.6 million after beating Oklahoma and reaching 7 wins. That's $11.6 million this year.

This is succinctly reality.

There are a handful (at most) of genuine legitimate championship level coaches at any given time. I mean 3-5 in all of FBS. That's reality.

What does this have to do with Kiffin?

Honestly, who else is Florida going to go after? There’s so many power five openings and not many big name coaches that have proven they can win on the big stage.

I’m a casual fan, and I have no idea who the new up and coming head coaches are, but every good AD should have a top 10 list of every coordinator and head coach based upon performance and experience coupled with leadership and potential. If they don’t have these lists, they should be shown the door.

The $2.6 million bonus for 7 wins tells me all I need to know if I'm Kiffin. Win 7-8 per year and beat Mississippi State every other year and you have a job for life. Do that at UF and you're GONE! I'm sure UF could dig up some "fired for cause" reasons on Lane if they looked hard enough.

Kiffin is in a much better place in Oxford than he'd be in Gainesville. After all, how many millions does a person need anyway! He's liked in Oxford and in no danger of impatient wealthy donors. I hope he considers how many "can't miss in Florida" coaches have cycled through Gainesville and missed.

If he goes to Florida, it's an ego trip unattached to practicality.

Not sure they'd have to look that hard...

The initial comments: During a 2012 radio interview, then-Vanderbilt coach James Franklin said, "I will not hire an assistant coach until I've seen his wife. If she looks the part... then you got a chance to get hired". He claimed there was a strong correlation between a man's confidence in attracting a partner and his ability to recruit players.

Recent quotes by Lane Kiffin on coaching, money, and etc.


"I feel like the college coaches now are more like NFL coaches where the firings happen quicker," Kiffin said. "NFL coaches, you see all the time, they get one, two years, and you're like, in college that doesn't happen... that's obviously not the case now."

"Anytime something works, other people go, 'well, let's go do that,'" Kiffin said. "It now has places accepting to pay these buyouts, which I think is ridiculous."

"I just told them, 'Hey guys, this is what happens around here because we win games and people like the style that we play,' and so that is all about a compliment to the players," Kiffin said.

"I have never made a decision based on money nor will I," Kiffin said. "I've seen too many examples in life where money does not buy happiness."

Obviously, I'm wrong, but I didn't think a school could talk to another coach employed at a school about employment during the season. I thought it was considered tampering.

That's correct .. but they can go through his agent....

That settles it, Kiffin has been replaced by a lizard person.

Well, there is something besides a man's confidence that will attract both five star payers and attractive wives.

I had this conversation years ago with Franklin over a few drinks. In so many words he told me that the interview with Clay was supposed to be off the record for some of the things that were printed.
