Cliff Ellis was a good coach.

Damn good? Naw.

Good? Yes.

He'd feast on tiny directional schools prior to the SEC season and go .500 or worse in the SEC every year.

Here's his conference records by year:

7-9
6-10
6-10
7-9
14-2 (the lone year I ever bought basketball season tickets )
9-7
7-9
4-12
5-11
6-10

Total: 56-90 (.384)

Cliff Ellis was a *good* coach considering how historically bad Auburn's basketball program was and is.

He don't rate any higher than that.
