Not really. Auburn doesn't have deeper pockets. Ole Miss doesn't. Nebraska, maybe barely. Tennessee some, but not by a wide margin.

You're hilarious. Here's the list of P4 teams that have more wins than Iowa since 2015:
1. Alabama
2. OSU
3. Clemson
4. Georgia
5. Oklahoma
6. Michigan
7. Notre Dame
8. LSU
Iowa is 9th.
You know who's not on that list? All the teams you claim have higher expectations.
Get bent!
It means Kiffin made public comments like ' doesn't matter if I get fired, a big school is just going to see NFL head coach'.
This guy is a fraud and a con. Never won a thing. Fired over and over. An agent and social media creation. Dude is creepy too.
Where ever the clown ends up, he will get canned.
Most outsiders believe Kiffin staying in Oxford for a 7th season is a long shot.
Behind Kiffin’s next landing spot, the second-biggest question is whether Kiffin would stick around — or be allowed to stay — to coach Ole Miss through a potential College Football Playoff berth
Ole Miss (10-1, 6-1 Southeastern Conference, No. 6 CFP) does not play this weekend. The bye allowed Kiffin to meet with Florida and LSU officials..

Florida or LSU? Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin's coaching decision will be revealed after the Egg Bowl
Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin will announce his next move — likely Florida or LSU — after the Egg Bowl against Mississippi State.

It seems laughable 12 years later that they only had to pay Cam's dad 250K to get Cam to Auburn. That won't get you a back up OL these days.
Absolutely stupid to pay a coach that in this era of college football. Find a solid coach for less and use the $$ for NIL. **** you could hire the Wartburg coach, who’s really good by the way, give him 10 mill and use 80 mill toward NIL and he’s winning the national title. It’s all about how much $$ you can pay the top level players, look at Texas Tech. Those kids aren’t there because they love Lubbock TX

THIS!
Everyone always complaining about Kirk and Iowa’s medicine mentality but the FACTS say differently. We are right up there with the national champions of past years. Why in the world would anyone complain about this?
ON IOWA!
You had to go over 20 years back for shared titles
Yes, Iowa is right up there.
Here are some interesting facts about the eight (8) teams on this list, in terms of what they have accomplished since 2015:
-All 8 have made the CFP, at least once
-All except Notre Dame (who isn't in conference) have won a conference title
-7 of the 8 have had at least an appearance in a CFP national championship game
-6 of the 8 have won a CFP national championship
-Washington isn't on this list, but they have had a CFP appearance (multiple), a conference championship (multiple), and a CFP national championship game appearance since 2015.
I'm not complaining about Kirk or Iowa. But I can appreciate why Iowa gets the "mediocre" label due to the lack of championships and CFP appearance, and because it speaks to a decade of fan frustration from sitting *just* outside of this circle of elite teams.

I agree that these contracts are crazy.
However, schools are restricted to 20 million for compensating athletes so that 80 million cannot be tapped to pay players.
Texas tech has an oil billionaire paying that d-line 7 million from his pocket.
Maybe.a potential deep pocketed hawk booster could be Iowa alum mark Shapiro who is taking over as CEO of Disney early next year?
Story in WSJ this week profiled him.
He helped set up BTN. Is partners with Ari Emanuel in UFC and bull riding corp.
Big shooter.
Every loss is unacceptable!!!!
WE MUST WIN EVERY GAME!!!!!
WE ARE IOWA, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!!
Yes those were “shared” titles. And the other nine teams on that list have won many conference titles and national championships!
LSU will pay him around $12 million annually across 7 seasons, with the potential for bonuses.
He would not coach Ole Miss in the postseason.
He would become the 3rd highest paid head coach.
The top 5 highest paid:
$13,282,580:...................Kirby Smart
$12,575,000:...................Ryan Day
$12,000,000:...................Lane Kiffin
$11,537,560:...................Lincoln Riley
$11,447,025:...................Dabo Swimney

Sources: LSU expected to hire Lane Kiffin away from Ole Miss
Sources told ESPN late Saturday that the expectation is LSU, a day after its regular season ended, will hire Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin, 50, on Sunday as its new coach and that the deal will cover seven seasons at an annual average of around $12 million.

It's going to be hilarious when Kiffin is a total bust at LSU and they're running him out of town in four years. He had things rolling at Ole Miss. LSU has less patience, and if doesn't get off to a hot start the grumblings will begin.
Karma can be a b!tch.

Well, s.hit, he's just behind Kirby Smart at $13M per year.
And I am sure he's being 100% truthful here.
I wonder how long he lasts
There was a story that the Florida AD & Lane met, where the 2 had completely different personalities and that it gave Lane a weird gut feeling so Lane pivoted to LSU. The Florida AD was reportedly worried about the drama that seems to follow Lane wherever he goes.
Also, Florida apparently will have a GM who the head coach reports to. At LSU it appears that the GM reports to the head coach.
