Explain Dan Lanning and Mark Richt’s greatness. I can get more on board with Richt than Dan Lanning. And Mark Richt’s own fanbase wanted to fire him for nearly a decade.

I just now learned that Pete Carroll was a defensive coordinator under Lane Kiffin. That probably explains why Carroll had such success at Seattle, Kiffin taught him everything he knew.
Kiffin may not be retarded after all./

Look at the totality of my response brother.

I’m not sure that Pete Carroll ever worked for Lane Kiffin. I do know Pete Carroll was the head coach at Southern Cal and Kiffin. I believe was his offensive coordinator.

You have to remember that a million LSU fans live below sea level.
Pete Carroll was head coach at USC and left to be head coach of the Seattle Seahawks in 2009.
USC hired Lane Kiffin from Tennessee (he handled that well) when Carroll left. Less than 3 years later USC fired Kiffin in a tarmac closet.

This could logically explain why being rantards is their default state. They honestly believe no matter what kind of shite they fling against the wall, someone out there in the Internets will believe them.

No dumbass, Pete Carroll was the DC under Monte Kiffin, at NC State.
FYI- he's Lane's father.

So don’t think any coach at a top half p4 program can be considered a great head coach if they don’t have a national championship, a couple of conference titles, or both.
And even then it is debatable.
So you're narrowing the pool down to a very small amount of people and then asking why those people weren't always great coordinators?

Here is the crazy thing that LSU fans won’t believe, a bit of a compliment. I think Ed Orgeron was a hell of a coach - just not a great head coach. Great DL line coach and good DC.
Ed Orgeron was never a DC.
