Year after year it happens....Kiffin's offense beats up on bad teams but they struggle against good teams.
This season Bama scored 6 touchdowns in Regulation against the top four defenses they faced:
Ole Miss - 1
Mississippi State 2
Arkansas - 2
LSU - 1
Against other teams, they got off to good starts but disappeared for long stretches. For example, against Tennessee they had 27 points in the first half but only seven points in the second half.
HOWEVER, because he is Lane Kiffin and because he is at Alabama, people praise him and forget the flaws. Coordinators like Mike Bobo and Rob Smith are passed up on being a Broyles Award finalist.
It is either a big play or nothing for Kiffin because he hates the running game and cannot sustain multiple long drives against decent teams.

Mark Rcht isn't. We know who he is.

He would have won a Natty if the defense would have shown up in Nola.

Or if he would have ran the ball and controlled clock. Henry was dominating the game and he went away for 2 qtrs. Then, when he finally gets the ball to him again, he goes away from his strengths.
Anyone with a clue knows that Henry runs the ball too high and has slow feet....however....when he gets the ball with a head of steam and lead blocker on edges he is impossible to stop.....as he did earlier in game...what does Kiffin do.....starts running draws and such.
Yes he did a great job with Blake but could anyone in the nation did worse with Yeldon and Henry?

Wat. Miss St. is ranked #84. Auburn had a better defense.

This thread title should read
"I'm sad that daddy Mizzou got in because we choked liked always, so I'm gonna make fun of a far superior team and their coach because I have nothing better to do"

Coaches fool people all the time.
Richt has people believing he is a quality head coach.

Mizzou was #19 in scoring defense. What happened in that game?
ETA: UF was ranked #20 in scoring defense. Could you remind me how Kiffin's offense did against them?

Not making fun of a team but how a coach is perceived. Beat up on bad...struggle against good....Look at year at UT and people talk about the offenses improvement....15.2 in six losses and 41.4 in wins.

Against Mizzou they did like Tennessee and came out fast and disappeared for a long stretch. In the fourth quarter, and with Shane Ray out, the defense was worn down from their really bad offense not being able to sustain drives.

And if Kiffin leaves you will be saying the same thing I am BUT with Saban told him he needs to look for a new job.

Lane is not the problem. The defense that got carved up like a Christmas turkey by good QBs is what plagued us.

so which pro teams have been after richt in the last decade?
