Interesting list of the top CFB teams regarding overall scoring efficiancy

I've heard a few detractors claim that Clark's knock is that he has no signature wins, despite a sterling record. I posit that it doesn't matter when you're at a program as dismal as UAB - just beating all the other nobodies is an amazing accomplishment. That aside, Mike Norvell also doesn't really have a signature win, but that doesn't stop everyone from clamoring for him. He took over a program that he didn't build himself, and he's beaten two P5 teams with losing records so far. That's like the SJSU coach calling us a signature win. Unless SMU stays ranked and he beats Cincinnati, he hasn't had a win over a ranked opponent in all of his four years at Memphis.

This wasn't to detract from Norvell (who I think is a good choice), but rather to build up Clark, because it aggravates me that some want Norvell and Kiffin so hard, but completely dismiss this other amazing coach who seems to be 100%, to the T, exactly what we need on paper.

Clark isn't the "sexy" hire this year, sure. But people are starting to notice, and if he doesn't get hired at the end of this year, he's going to be next year's Norvell or Herman or Fuente. Mark my words. The man is a rising star, and we could have him for dirt cheap compared to someone like Mike Leach or Lane Kiffin.

They have the edge over us in that he's done every ounce of his coaching in the state of Alabama. Couple that with the fact that Auburn is a better football program than us, historically, and it's important we get the jump on him. He'll murder it at Auburn, guaranteed. The last thing we need is to not only whiff on Bill Clark, but also have to face him every year at a program with good upside.

It really is fricking disheartening. Alabama has the CFB GOAT, LSU is always a menace, A&M has an NC winning coach, and Auburn could hire what should be one of our top three targets out from under us. The stupidity in hiring Chad Morris has fricked us over not only in the ways that are immediately obvious, but also ways that are critical when you look at the moves everyone else is making/has made.

I feel the exact same way. It's frustrating that people act like Norvell is the second coming of Football Jesus, when Bill Clark has objectvely accomplished just as many impressive things in the same span of time. If somehow Chad Morris' resume had what it took to wow our boosters and ridiculous administration, Bill Clark's should be causing an orgasm.

But, hey. Lane Kiffin is mouthy on Twitter and not afraid to slay poon. That's what the recruits like, right? He must be the man for the job, despite his massive shortcomings that have taken him from the head coach of USC to FAU.
