What’s the judging criteria? If it’s natty’s then Orgeron would be ahead of smart and the same level as Chizik. If it’s career winning percentage or record vs top 10 opponents then Smart would be in front of O, though with a much smaller sample size. There’s really no objective way to determine this. I’m sure LSU fans are happy with O just like UGA fans are happy with Smart.

For sure. However, O is objectively better at this point in his current job. There's nothing wrong with being happy with Kirby even though he isn't as successful as O.

LSU fans were happy with Miles at one time even though he was #2 to Saban and #3 to Saban and Meyer.

Orgeron has a natty and beat Kirby both times they faced.

Not sure what more you can ask for?

Sure there is. Look at the accomplishments of both at their current schools and you will objectively see, if you put down the red colored glasses, that CEO is the better coach between the two.

Better yet, please tell us what makes you think Kirby is better than O when comparing the jobs they've done at LSU and UGA.

Not career, but winning % at current school. His tenure at Ole Miss was thirteen years ago, I don't see how that is even relevant now.

Orgeron at LSU 40-9 81.6 %
Smart at UGA 44-12 78.5 %

Also, just a guess, but I'm pretty sure Orgeron has more top 10 wins during his tenure at LSU, maybe the most in the conference. Hell, he beat 5 of the final 10 this year alone.
