Kiffin will never coach again in front of a home crowd of 100,000 rabid fans, he is stuck in Oxford doing that Grove thing, he'll be competitive in the conference from time to time, but his opportunities at the top of the SEC pecking order are long gone, the Alabama hire was a clear rejection of Kiffin, Texas even took Sarkesian out from under Saban with Sarks previous issues and the disparities between Texas and Ole Miss are obvious.
As the NIL thresholds continue to go up and up, Kiffin will have a significantly harder time getting top shelf talent to Oxford, without outside investment and if he can't put the Rebels in the 12 team thing, the investment will go elsewhere,
