re: FSU HC Mike Norvel staying at FSU*

quote:

---

Lane Kiffen, in his entire college coaching career at Tenn, USC, and Ole Miss, is 1 and 19 against teams that finished the regular the season with 9 or more wins. One and Nineteen!!

that is crazy, but the more I think about it and ever so casually look into it, it seems a bit more sensational that is REALLY is.

-What he did at USC is kind of irrelevant to me so I throw that out. You may not, which is cool, but it jsu tisn't relevant to me.
-He was at UT for 1 season. How did Kirby (and saban for that matter) do at their first year on the job? Again, a one-year sample size is a throwaway to me. So we essentailly are just looking at his HC career at ole miss:

-2020 was a covid year so it would've been virtually impossible to beat someone that ended the regular season with 9 wins
-2021 they won 10 games including over Arky and aTm teams that were ranked in the top 15 at the time. Arkansas ended the year with 9 wins
-2022 they really didn't have any kind of signature win to speak of
-Thsi year they beat a PS team that ended with 10 wins.

The caveat of "regular season" 9 wins seems a bit odd to me to make it sound worse. How many teams are you reasonably going to play in a given year that will finish 9-3 or better? Probably not many, maybe a couple at most. And considering the inferior programs he's been at it shouldn't be surprising that he'd lose to most of em.
