Knowing his history at Tennessee, I can only assume that Ole Miss wrote a huge buyout payable immediately into his contract to prevent just such a thing from happening. I don't have any info on that, however.I would be surprised if Kiffin pulled the the one year and gone thing again. But, who knows?
Auburn is obviously three times the job that Ole Miss will ever be. However, considering what happened in January of 2010, I would be shocked if Ole Miss didn't have the forethought to write an enormous buyout clause into Kiffin's contract that would prevent a move after one year (especially to another SEC West program). My guess is, Auburn would have to write Ole Miss a 7 figure check to pull that off. For the kind of money it would cost Auburn to make that move, they could get someone better than Kiffin.It would surprise me. Kiffin has been recruiting like crazy this year. He'd be blowing that up to take on a really weak class at the barn.
