re: Say what you want about Kiffin, dude's a genius and I wouldn't mind him as HC

Lane Kiffin went 35-21 in four and one half seasons at a no doubt top five program and a pretty consensus top ten program.

He also managed this record during a time when the Pac 12 saw its competitiveness rise considerably (Oregon playing for a title) at the precise time his team was crippled with NCAA sanctions. It's not a fair evaluation of his abilities unless you use that factor to grade him on the curve.

He's had the best record at UT in the past 10 years, too, in only his first season there with a roster that Fat Phil left relatively bare by comparisons to his previous UT teams.
