Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss officially agreed to a new contract in November, keeping the head coach in Oxford for the foreseeable future. As a result, Kiffin also got a raise from his previous deal.
According to David Eckert of the Clarion Ledger, Kiffin will earn a base salary of $8.75 million in 2023, $8.85 million in ’24, then $9 million in ’25 and ’26. This is a raise from his extension in 2021, when Ole Miss was prepared to pay Kiffin a base salary starting at $7.25 million in 2022 and increasing each year through 2025.
SI’s Ross Dellenger reported that Ole Miss was signing Kiffin to a six-year extension with rollover provisions that would extend to eight years. The state of Mississippi only allows state employees to have contracts longer than four years.
