Summary
So much for an uneventful Ole Miss football bye week.
Auburn on Monday fired head coach Bryan Harsin. Predictably, Lane Kiffin quickly emerged as a potential replacement in the over-the-top fallout.
However, as Chuck Rounsaville, The Godfather of Rebel football coverage, explains in this edition of Talk of Champions, there’s no need to panic … yet.
“I’m not seriously worried about it, to be honest with you,” he said. “There’s only two things that’s going to drag Lane Kiffin from Ole Miss to a lateral job, which that’s what Auburn is now, and that would be generational, guaranteed money or NIL money.
“I think Ole Miss is doing everything it can to counter all that. The Grove Collective is doing a good job raising money in NIL. (Ole Miss) is not in Auburn’s league yet, but they’re going to get enough money to satisfy Lane Kiffin for his needs to stay competitive here, and I’m sure if he wins 10 games this year, (Rebel athletics director) Keith Carter will give him another (salary) bump.
“I’m just not fretting it yet.”
Rounsaville joins Ben Garrett to break down everything we’re hearing about what is inarguably the hottest of hot-button Ole Miss topics, including a full-on debunking of a few bogus internet rumors that have inexplicably popped up since Auburn came open.
Not-so-coincidentally, the website for the Grove Collective, the driving force in the school’s NIL efforts, crashed on Tuesday. Ole Miss — from the administration on down to the fans — is showing once more it’s operating on a different plane of existence now.
Kiffin to Auburn is nowhere close to the slam dunk many in the national media seem to think it is.
Let’s get to it.
