Ole Miss football coach Lane Kiffin didn’t coach against Louisville, but he did earn some extra money.

The star football coach tested positive for coronavirus prior to the highly-anticipated non-conference game, and that meant he couldn’t be with his team Monday night. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

Despite Kiffin not being able to lead the Rebels, Ole Miss won 43-24, and Kiffin earned himself $100,000 for a beating a non-conference P5 team, according to USA Today.

So, for not having to actually do anything, Kiffin is still bringing home a bag of money!

You know you’re living the good life when you don’t even have to coach a game to earn a quick $100,000. That’s a whole lot of money!

Hell, that’s substantially more than the average American makes in a year, and how did Kiffin earn it? He earned it by watching Ole Miss play on TV.

The contract says what the contract says! I’m sure there’s no out in case a virus that spread from China causes you to miss a game.

Don’t spend all that cash in one place, Kiffin!
