Coker wasn’t ready in 2014. He didn’t really start taking off till the 2nd half of the season. And funny you mention Ole Miss and MSU, because Coker was even worse than Sims was against them.
Yeah he threw 3 picks versus AU, but he also scored 5 TDs, had almost 350 total yards, and a 197 passer rating. There’s also the UF game and SECCG game versus Missouri. Both 25 defenses he shredded.
Both Coker and Sims had bad and good games. Neither was clearly better then the other.

“ Coker wasn’t ready in 2014.”
We are all entitled to our opinions. Personally I don’t believe this to be true. For some reason, Coker and Kiffin didn’t mesh. Coker’s starting season wasn’t the best but his huge arm loosened up the defenses and allowed us to have over 700 more rushing yards from running backs than we did with Sims under center.
I appreciate what Sims was able to accomplish and that he did what guys aren’t willing to do anymore, wait his turn, but you will never be able to convince me that he’s not the reason we lost both games in 2014. Go back and watch them. Ohio St and Ole Miss loaded the box to stop the run and dared Sims to win with his arm.
