Kiffin signs 10 year extension

[El Paso Eagle]

Interesting ...

[BTG_Fan1]

1- Great for CUSA because of the exposure he brings from his funny tweets,

2- Hopefully this starts a trend of the G5’s coaches staying,

3- could eventually turn FAU into a solid program which will eventually lead to a UNT/UTSA vs FIU/FAU matchups 

[Stix]

Absurd.

[El Paso Eagle]

Once the details come out we will know what part of 10 years is real, and what part is fuff. Interested in seeing what the buy-out will be.

[outoftown]

Wow. They might actually get to keep him for 3 years or so.

Depending on how the buyout is structured of course.

Its probably the right move (provided he doesn't cause NCAA violations) because you get to lock him in at current price levels while it seems the impossible is happening: coaches salaries just keep on climbing.

[chrisfisher]

I remember that thread where Kiffin said he loved living there.... I guess he meant it. 

[golfingomez]

this is crazy... anyone want to ballpark total contract value?

I'm guessing $22 Million

 

[TheFlyingWorm]

The buyout details will be key. He’s said he loves it there, and if he’s constantly winning conference championships he’ll most likely stay till something extremely attractive comes along. 

[MrStrange18]

Does anyone think this puts pressure on our AD to try to lock up Seth longer? 

[untjim1995]

Ironically, this will also be the timeframe for when their certain probation should end...

[KRAM1]

No worries.  FAU will have to pay no more than three years of that ten before the NCAA comes calling or before he bolts for some place "bigger and better" in his mind.

Nick Saban's retirement

He's already 66 years old. 

[UNT 90 Grad]

He will bring balance to the force. 

[untbowler]

uh oh bad news for SL until he gets his P5 job in a year or 2.

After seeing Kiffin in action this year, I am less of a hater.  Think this is good for the conference.  Let's get a few more big names and start making some noise OOC.

 

[Harry]

Wow 

[NM Green]

ESPN Game day Apogee 2018. North Texas versus the flying Kiffin’s.

Go Mean Green!!!!!

I would say no until Seth stops getting beat by 50.....

Must have found an administration who'll tolerate speculative recruiting.  ;-)  He can really build something.

Only done for recruiting. He is not going to be there long is how they are recruiting against K. All show.

Please dont pair us with UTSA, they are going to fall bad soon. Probably right to FCS once they suck for a while. 

[El Paso Eagle]

I wonder what will happen with Kendal Briles?

If you truly believe that, the only possible school to pair with is LATech.
UTSA/Rice are not serious about football.

Not a bad program to choose as a peer.  We just finished a better season, but they have been a better program that us for a long time.
