I would imagine Orgeron would be behind Smart ***IF*** 2018 hadn't happened. If he had 2019 on an island surrounded by bad seasons, then Smart stays ahead due to being consistent. 2018, though, with 10 wins and a top 6 finish, lends itself to being ahead of Smart.

Of course if O implodes and has a string of sub-par seasons, and Kirby churns out 10-win ones, then Smart goes ahead. Right now though, Orgeron should be #2.

In this scenario does Kirby get over the hump and win it all? If nothing else, Orgeron will always have the hardware to fall back on. Then again.. so does Gene Chizik.

I agree I’d put Orgeron ahead of Smart right now. I’d actually put Mullen #3 and Kirby #4. I think Florida will be scary in the years to come and will overtake UGA imo. Or will at least pull even with them.

Kirby would need to win a Natty, and CEO would need 3 seasons back to back in the 8 win neighborhood for Kirby to jump him.

As far as consistency: CEO is averaging 11.33 wins per season as HC at LSU. Kirby is averaging an even 11.

Not sure how much more consistent you want given that CEO is in the SECW facing a tougher gauntlet than Kirby is in the SECE.
