When the Ole Miss Rebels head to Winston-Salem this fall, there's more on the line than a simple notch in the win column.
Since Kiffin was hired as Ole Miss' head coach prior to the 2020 season, the Rebels have posted a 3-0 record against opponents from the Atlantic Coast Conference, beginning with a neutral site win over the Louisville Cardinals in 2021. After that win in Atlanta, the Rebels went on to take down the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in back-to-back seasons, including a 42-0 win on the road and a 48-23 win in Oxford last fall.
It's always a positive for Ole Miss when it gains a win over a power conference opponent from outside the SEC, but it appears there are some financial incentives for Kiffin in the deal, as well. According toKiffin has earned $100,000 apiece for each win he has gained over an ACC opponent in his time with the Rebels, and he has a chance to push that total to $400,000 with a fourth win this season against Wake Forest.
According to the documents obtained for the report, Kiffin earns $100,000 each time he defeats a non-SEC power conference team, and since the league requires each team to schedule a non-conference game against a power team each year, there's always an opportunity for a pay raise.The Demon Deacons in Winston-Salem are not expected to have a very strong year , but history is on their side in this series.
The 2006 game in Oxford was more lopsided than the 30-28 nailbiter that took place in Winston-Salem in 2008, but if Ole Miss can claim this expected win in 2024, it would break a short historical trend and help line the pocketbook of its head coach once again. Ole Miss and Wake Forest will face off in Week 3 of the college football season, and the game is scheduled for a 5:30 p.m. kickoff in Winston-Salem, N.C. The game will be televised on The CW.John Macon Gillespie is the publisher of The Grove Report and has experience on the Ole Miss beat spanning five years.
