Kiffin gets 10-year, $9.5 million dollar contract

[Coach Bill Lewis]

2 million buyout.  He is going rule the roost for a long time there!

The $2M buyout is nothing for a major P5.   He may stay awhile but the contract is no hindrance to him leaving.

Shut up bill

I'm a little surprised Kiffin signed that thing.  I don't recall what he was making before, but I don't think that's a substantial raise per year.  Watching him from the outside, it looked like he was positioning himself for another shot at a P5 HC gig.  And I would expect the P5s, and solid P5s, to come calling sooner rather than later if he has another year like last year.

It would make sense is if Kiffin really wants to stay at FAU for the long haul.  But does he really?

Sorry but after watching Last Chance U and seeing the number of players that ended up at FAU I am more convinced than ever he is running a dirty program.

Does that mean 9.5 mil over 10 years? So plus incentives, doesn't that make his pay on par with SL?

Thank you

When he leaves FAU will implode and that is not good for the conference. It’s a double edge sword, the publicity is great but he’s not building a solid base he’s all about winning now and probably not in a legit way.

No. SL is about $500k more than LK this year, increasing that difference annually.

[untjim1995]

maybe if more than 5000 people showed up for a game in Boca, Kiffin might make more than SL on an annual basis...

I hear he lives on the ocean.  The fan base love him.  The University will do anything he asks.  He's winning.  Except for the ego boost of coaching a national championship contender, he's got everything covered.

Yep.  UT bought out Herman's $2.5M.  Nebraska bought out Frost's $3M.  Florida bought out CSU's $5-7M

Those Power 5 schools have media contracts that bring in $25 million or more per year. It’s not that hard to invest some of that into the coach you want from the minor leagues that you keep under your thumb by controlling the NCAA and media.

I’ve heard the same thing. Has the contract been approved by BOR?
