Florida Gators (official thread)

It’s probably Lane.
I think he very much understands NIL and the culture of Florida is to score score score.
I think he’ll get it right there and get them into the playoffs.

However, I believe what he wants is the LSU job and that may come available.
Auburn might take a crack at Lane too, but both UF and LSU are more desirable destinations than Auburn.

I imagine is LSU then Florida for Lane. I bet he would stay at ole miss over going to the shitshow that is auburn which has high expectations and a narrow path to achieve them. He can keep cranking out 8-10 win seasons and be a hero at ole miss with full support of everyone. Ole miss has been mostly dogshit since the 60s with every coach getting a couple of 9 win seasons at best until flaming out spectacularly. Lane is the only coach in 60 years there that has sustained success.

Lane Kiffin has a base salary of $9M and it goes thru 31 Dec 2030. He is eligible for bonuses during the 2025 season, with a maximum of $2.6 million. The contract automatically extends by one year on December 8th each year, provided there is no written notice from either Kiffin or Ole Miss to terminate renewal.

Just sayin': I think it would really take a boatload full of money (i.e. maybe in the $15M range) to lure him away from Ole Miss. Kirby Smart has the biggest college football head coaching contract (i.e. $13.3M) and maybe Joey Freshwater would leave if a fully guaranteed 10 year offer topped that....

Well, that should narrow down the coaching applicant pool ...

Fallujah in 2004 is a more desirable destination than Auburn.

Been to both, totally agree.

Lou and Coach are correct.
