I spoke with one of my classmates from Ole Miss last night who is a big donor-booster at OM and I asked him if Ole Miss was worried about losing Kiffin to UF.
His response surprised me. He said no one that he is aware of is concerned that Kiffin may leave to go anywhere. The prevailing attitude is: Ole Miss has given Kiffin everything he wants (money and love) and if Kiffin wants to leave...let him hit the road. They are happy he is in Oxford but they are not going to open the vault to get him to stay.
So if UF wants Kiffin I don't think Ole Miss is going to get into a bidding war.
