The star football coach is currently leading Ole Miss through an awesome season, and it’s not crystal clear as of right now whether or not Diaz will even lose his job.

When Miami is at its best, it’s certainly a better program. I don’t think anyone is denying that. It’s definitely a more prestigious program than Ole Miss when you compare both programs at their best.
The fact the Hurricanes play in the ACC also means that their path to a conference title is much easier. When you don’t have to go through the likes of Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Georgia and Florida to win the SEC, it’s easier to win a conference title.

The other thing to consider is that Miami can absolutely afford to pay more. Both programs have boosters with thick pockets, but Miami is a city swimming in cash.
Lots of people would spend a lot of money for a great football program. Could Kiffin be the guy to give it to them? Well, he’s already winning in the SEC and the ACC would only be easier.

It should be fascinating to see what Kiffin and the Hurricanes do, but Kiffin in Miami would be a content factory!
