I think he's the best in the country, and here is why. He replaced 8 starters on offense including 3 OL's and Amari Cooper and has this team in the NCG.

I think he's pretty damn good, which is the exact opposite of my initial prediction of how he would do, which was based on wishful thinking.

most of the world wanted him to fail, hell I bet half the gumps really wanted him to splat and get fired, he probably sensed it and realized he had to get it right this time.

Never been an issue with Kiffin and his role as an OC. One of the top in the country no doubt. It's the HC part where he fails.

He is very good but c'mon man that team is not in the NC game because of the offense. They are one of the worst teams in the country at 3rd down percentage. Just the last two games alone if the other team could move the ball at all in the first halfs of the game those games would have been closer.

Bama is a good team and the defense is great. I am interested if the Bama O gets off to another slow start if Clemson can take advantage and move the ball and score on the Bama D and get a lead. This is the most excited i am about a NC game that LSU has not played in. It is a great matchup.

Even Kiffin acknowledged that fact. But you can't deny what he has done as an OC... be it at USCw or Bama. In fact, his work at Bama has been more impressive than at USCw simply due to the fact that he didn't have all those great offensive players, especially at QB at Bama as he did for the Trojans.

He has done a fantastic job and I imagine the crop of talent he has at his disposal makes him smile too.

I bet those who were laughing when Saban hired him are not laughing anymore. They all have sad faces now.

He has shown he can be brilliant at times and a doofus at times. Looking back at the season and seeing how he called plays it kind of makes since now. I still wish we would have used Bo a whole lot more.

Whatever they did with Coker in between the SECCG and the game against MSU was masterful. MSU's secondary wasn't great by their standards, but Coker played extremely well. In the SECCG, he had 2-3 throws that were just hail Mary's that ended up in his receivers hands. In the Playoff, he was throwing darts and I give Kiffin huge props for that

Bo wasn't healthy enough to use that much. I am glad we are where we are and Bo is starting to show the signs of recovering from his injury. I can wait till the fall to see him running the ball.

You obviously didn't watch the SECCG. He went deep on Florida twice as well. Made VH3 look like a clown. Threw one TD in a very small, tight window.
