Coker didn't have his best game against Ole Miss, you're right, but he was brought into the game with his team down 17-3. The kid felt he had to take some chances. That one turnover in the fourth quarter that iced the game for Ole Miss was as much Kiffin's fault as it was Coker's.
Ole Miss's defensive line was gassed and we were running the ball (seemingly) at will. Coker had just scrambled for a pretty good chunk of yardage. Instead of continuing to pound the ball down their throats and chew clock, Kiffin went for the home run ball. Stupid play call but he got better with play calling as the year progressed.

Again, I am not blaming the loss on Coker. This was all a response to the OP blaming losses on Sims and then in the same breath saying Coker never made costly turnovers. Blame it on Kiffin, blame it on the gods, I don't give a shite, if your team is down 6 with 2 and a half minutes to go in the game and you throw an interception, that is objectively a costly turnover. Surely we can agree on that?
You can't use one standard to judge Sims, blaming losses on him, and then turnaround and start making excuses for Coker about how he didn't start that game, and it was kiffin's fault anyway, and the game wasn't really on the line and blah blah blah.
Both were great players who led us to glory. Both made some very costly turnovers that contributed to us losing games. Really don't see how this is a controversial thing to say.
