Yes, but that would be more than $ 10 million to buy out his 10 year contract. That FAU AD was smart. Hiring Kiffin would cost $ 20 million at a minimum.Kiffin has it made right now at FAU. Plus he is under contract until 2027 and he has stated in interviews he has no intention of leaving anytime soon. Of course we have heard other coaches say that same exact thing before.
Or damn near anyone else at QB. (not blue font) Bama's problem this year started to show in the championship game last January... DEFENSE.....
This year their defense has look just average, maybe less than average. Throw in average special teams ( a little problem for some years) and you get what you have seen from them this year.
There have been a lot of bad firings this year IMO.
Taggart inherited a rebuilding job similar to the one Pruitt inherited, but got canned after 1.5 years. Morris did poorly, but he also inherited talent that was totally unsuited for his own offense and needed at least 3-4 years to conceivably succeed. Luke was the sacrificial lamb at Ole Miss; no coach was going to succeed there under probation, but Luke actually did a reasonable job. Odom got dealt a bad hand with Mizzou on probation.
Meanwhile, the coach that most deserves to get fired (Muschamp) gets to stick around for another year. Muschamp has inherited two programs in good shape and managed to turn them both into losing programs.
Charlie Strong deserved to get the ax. He ran the program that Willie Taggart built up into the ground.
Kiffin will definitely get a look somewhere; maybe Arkansas or Florida State. Norvell is about to get a big raise regardless of whether he stays or goes.
I think Taggart is a very good coach who got screwed over at FSU. Good chance South Florida rehires him.
He wasn’t head coach at bama and 5-7 second season. That my friend is BS. But I don’t force my opinions on folks as fact. He’s been run off everywhere he’s been excep UT for a reason. That my friend; isn’t BS.Really. Check his success at bama and now at Fla At. He took a 3-8 team and turned them into 11-1 in his First Season; with the former guy's players. That my friend; isn't BS .
They should make Kiffin post a million dollar bond forfeited if he leaves in X number of years.There have been a lot of bad firings this year IMO.

Realistically Vandy and uSCjr coulda fired their coaches too. Think Vandy made a good choice in keeping Mason. Dunno what the hell USCjr is doing by keeping Muschamp
LMAO he lost to North Carolina AND Ap State but he made a HUGE mistake saying this was the best team he had in years and then fell flat on his face he SHOULD have been fired and they WILL be even worse next year so the nightmare will continue for the chickens!Muschamp will not be fired! He had one of the toughest schedules in all of football; while losing his top 2 quarterbacks while playing a 3rd string transfer in all 12 games.
they Lose to #1 Bama, #1 Clemson, Beat #3 Georgia, Ky, lose to Fla. Tenn. Texas A M. The only bad loss was to Appalachian State.
Not sure Ole Miss should not have fired Luke. They competed in every game. His first two seasons he was banned from bowls. I think they would have been pretty good next year.Glad we are not in this mess. Loving the turnaround Pruitt and staff accomplished with our program. The best is yet to come I think. GBO!!!
App State was a top 25 team this year... so no bad losses really... good info btwMuschamp will not be fired! He had one of the toughest schedules in all of football; while losing his top 2 quarterbacks while playing a 3rd string transfer in all 12 games.

Is App St a top25 team?Muschamp will not be fired! He had one of the toughest schedules in all of football; while losing his top 2 quarterbacks while playing a 3rd string transfer in all 12 games.
