So if Kiffin and Ole Miss doesn’t have the resources like other big time programs, then how did he land Evans?

And Kiffin apparently has more resources than he is admitting to. Have you seen the players they've pulled from the portal? They're definitely spending some money.

He is kinda old, so I don't hope he poops his pants. Debatable about the HOF. Not a slam dunk by any stretch. I will admit I have extreme bias against the Steelers, especially 1970s Steelers.

4 Super Bowls
2 Super Bowl MVPs
League MVP
3 Pro Bowls
2X TD leader

Never said he was the greatest…..but on the short list of who I’d want as my starter with one game I had to win. Definitely a HOFer.

14-5 playoff record. Tough to beat.

Maybe there was stuff behind the scenes that drove other teams/coaches away from him

my guess is it’s not the number, but the terms of the number or the way the number was asked for.

Would be curious if that 500k is up front or 500 over 2 years and if he doesn’t play the 2nd year it’s only 250k.

The problem in a lot of these scenarios is a bunch of these kids wanting up front in a transfer portal world… it doesn’t make sense.

It definitely could be. It’s hard to wade through all of the leaks that came out after Flores was fired and figure out what could be true and what’s not, but a lot of the leaks were bad looks.

He had 3 OCs in 3 years, 3 OL coaches in 3 years and countless other staff turnover issues. There was one story from multiple Miami beat writers that there were multiple coaches that Flores didn’t talk to the last month or two of the season. Which is a bit crazy that they did go on that long streak during the year if true. He had plans to replace over half of his staff, again, this off-season. He also didn’t get along with the GM and was in a power struggle with him.. wanted more control and was asking for more control going into the next season and free agency.

Player relationships I think were better although there were rumblings some of the younger guys didn’t like him. He treated the Veterans better than the younger guys. Don’t think that’s a huge issue though. He didn’t get along with Tua, and didn’t want to draft him but the organization did. I don’t know how much I blame that one on Flores. Ultimately he was right as he wanted Herbert.

All in all, between the power struggles, staff issues and his relationship with the “franchise” QB (he isn’t, but that’s another issue altogether).. it’s not as big a shock once all the details came out. The question is were all of those details true? Who knows, but a lot of them make sense and we’re corroborated by players and coaches afterwards.

(I still think he deserved another year)
