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.
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.

Not to mention that Orgeron coaches in the tougher of the two divisions.

Ed only has 3 full seasons and a partial one as HC for his resume (at LSU). Averaging wins with such a small sample size is a bit rough. Prior to his final season, Chizik "averaged" 10 wins per season.
I'll definitely grant you that CEO has tougher competition. I just wouldn't use averages and then discount CEO's first season (albeit a partial one) but not Kirby's. In their last 3 seasons, Kirby is averaging 12 wins to CEO's 11.3.
I'm just saying that Kirby is literally one pass play away from having a leg up on CEO, if we're looking at wins and hardware. CEO definitely has the best season out of all the coaches though.
