re: Kiffin's New Contract

I think it will be more than just his salary that is needed to keep him here. Not much can be done about assistant coaches getting HC opportunities, but we need to make sure he doesn't lose assistants to other schools for a similar position. If he feels he can keep his staff together and they are well compensated, that will go a long way to making him feel he can consistently compete here. That said, I think he might stay until the Bama job comes open to see if he gets it. If offered, he's gone. If he's not (I don't think he'd be near the top of their list), I can see him staying here for another year or 2 and then taking a different job. That said, he's been great from day 1 in so many ways and I hope we are able to keep him here for the long haul.
