According to veteran reporter Bruce Feldman, Kiffin has been offered a seven-year, $100 million deal by LSU, positioning him among the highest-paid coaches in the sport. Feldman cited sources close to the situation, indicating that the coach is likely to accept the offer, with a decision expected later today. Kiffin's net worth is estimated at $14 million, accumulated through his coaching career spanning college football and the NFL. His current base salary at Ole Miss is $9 million per year, contributing significantly to his wealth since joining the university in 2019. His contract runs through 2030, with potential bonuses worth up to $2.6 million in the 2025 season. However, if Kiffin decides to leave Ole Miss before the season's end, he would owe the university a $4 million buyout. Kiffin's coaching career has been marked by various roles, including stints at Fresno State, Colorado State, Jacksonville Jaguars, USC, Oakland Raiders, Tennessee, Florida Atlantic, and Alabama. The coach has earned his reputation through a combination of coaching salaries, contract buyouts, performance bonuses, and additional income from endorsements, media appearances, and broadcasting work with ESPN.
