According to Steve Berkowitz, Kiffin getting the Rebels bowl eligible has resulted in him earning a $50,000 bonus.

It’s been a ton of fun watching Kiffin succeed with the Rebels. When they hired him, I said it was a home run hire for the program.

Well, he’s in his second year and the Rebels are still very much in the mix for the playoff. He has them rolling right now.

A lot of people doubted what kind of success he could have, but I never did. Anyone with eyes could tell that Kiffin had matured as a coach and the results are obvious on the field.

Now, Ole Miss is 6-1 and Kiffin has earned an extra $50,000. You just love to see it!
