Are you worried about Kiffin leaving?

Bruce Feldman and Adam Rittenberg doesn’t seem to think he is candidate. Not to worried about it at this point. Plus you have to deal with higher academics at ArizonaPosted On: Jan 3rd 2018, 11:46 AM #376069
I have to disagree with you on the academics.
Not everything is current but,
University of Arizona:
2015 acceptance rate: 76%
FTIC GPA 2014 3.37
FAU is not inferior academically. The university has a poor six year graduation rate, low alumni giving and a poor retention rate. Those are the biggest reasons for a lower UNWR rank.

Sumlin, Butch Jones, and Kiffin are the names I have heard on the radio and seen in articles. Others are showing up in some of the coverage, but those three have been in everything I have seen.
As for the contract, has ANYBODY heard any actual particulars? Have contracts been altered for the other coaches (like Briles)? I don't think any of us are naive to think Kiffin is here for more than another season (2 at the absolute most), so we need the program to be positioned to adjust and move forward when he leaves. We need back-up plans to our back-up plans.

I think we will see a huge boost in alumni giving and freshman retention rate this year due to the Kiffin effect. We have a long ways to go, but I can see is hitting the top 200 colleges on USNEWS by 2020 if we keep improving.
6 year grad rate needs to go up 20% before people take us seriously

As others stated, the buyout is insignificant to these P5 schools. Arizona fired RichRod because of "other stuff" they didn't like - the allegations against him were dropped. They are going to pay him something like $5.4M this year to NOT coach them so they can go get somebody else.

The 10 year contract is for the same money. And as for Coach Briles, once January 1 came his contract for renewed for one more year. That contract will save us at least $500,000 bc the buyout will remain the same. I just want one more year of this. Early indications are Arizona is looking for someone else.

"Arizona fired RichRod because of "other stuff" they didn't like"
The second quote is why the first quote is not an issue, they are firing a guy with non Coaching issues and would never take a chance at this point IMHO!
