Kiffin averaged 3 losses over 6 seasons at Ole Miss who hasn't done shite sonce the 60s. He had his best season with only 1 loss in '25.

Everyone else is averaging 4 losses or more at schools with much more resources, prestige and prior success.

State your case for another coach at #2.

Kiffin is not number two. He is anything but proven. Honestly the whiny bitch Sark is probably number two and has the seasons and team to back it up

Kiffin has never coached a a playoff game.

So would be interesting to see your criteria.

Remember when Gumps were begging for Kaitlyn DePoor to take the Michigan job because “Kiffin has always wanted the Alabama job” and they desperately wanted him to be their head coach?

Well now, after getting blasted by Indiana by 35 points, Kaitlyn DePoor is still their head coach

He built the team that won 2 playoff games.

It's not like he only scored 3 in his first playoff game at home.

But he couldn’t coach them. He’d never have gotten past Georgia cause the heaux doesn’t know what a field goal is

How long has Kiffin coached? List his championships.

We'll wait.

He wanted to coach them but Ole Miss wouldn't let him (understandably TBH).

I'm quite sure he would have scored more than 3...especially at home!

My AI claims: the winningest active college football coach is Kirk Ferentz
quote:

As of early 2026, the winningest active college football coach is Kirk Ferentz, the head coach of the University of Iowa. He has accumulated a total of 204 wins during his career in college football.


And since everyone knows Kirby is better than Lane that automatically excludes Kiffin from the discussion of being the runner up.

Not that this automatically includes Kirby as number two.

Honestly more by default than anything.

His record over my Horns not withstanding, I have not been all that impressed with Kirby over the last couple of seasons. His in game decision making has had some serious flaws.

Sure, he is the best active coach in the SEC… Whatever that means for the conference.

2-0 against L3U to extend the win margin to 58-27-5

L3U will never catch up. You’ll die knowing Bama is your football daddy.

DeBoer is 2-0 vs LSU in two games where LSU never challenged.

Resume comparison, p4 jobs only.

Smart: 10 seasons, .848, 5 playoff appearances, 9-4 playoff record, 2 national championships, 4 conference championships, 3x conference coach of year

Kiffin: 11 seasons, .692

Sarkisian: 12 seasons, .628, 2 playoff appearances. 2-2 cfp record, 1 conference championship, 1x conference coach of year

Heupel: 5 seasons, .692, 1 playoff appearance, 0-1 cfp record, 1x conference coach of year

Deboer: 4 seasons, .804, 2 playoff appearances, 2-2 cfp record, 1 conference championship, 2x conference coach of year

Based on resume, Kiffin is at best 4th and most logical people would put him at 5th.

I'd much rather Kiffin over DeBoer, but that's just me.
