Comparison points both at USC and Bama. Both won a NC as OC at Bama but Sark has a better record at USC even while drinking heavily.

Imagine if Kiffin went 5-7 and 8-5 in his first two seasons at LSU like Sarkisian did at Texas

Kiffin has had some bumpy first seasons.

Tennessee: 7-6
USC: 8-5
Ole Miss: 5-5

If he goes 8-5 at LSU this season this place will be magical.

Texas fans were booing Sarkisian's team just as recent as week 3 of last year, meanwhile, Ole Miss's sold out stadium was chanting in unison for Kiffin not to leave them

Interested to see if Sarkisian can field an offense in the top half of the SEC after failing to do so last year.

I would think the amount of financial resources these guys have at their disposal (at their respective schools), probably make them appear much more capable than they actually are. If they can load up talent, either of them will be good. I think Sark is more careful than Kiffin. Kiffin will take unnecessary risks at times

They are probably comparable in terms of their abilities to field a good offense, but let us know when Sark leads a program of Ole Miss' stature to the CFP.

Sark has coached in and won a CFP game.

Kiffin has not.

You know that’s a disingenuous argument

It's not an argument. It's a fact. Kiffin has never won a playoff game

The melt on 9/26 when LSU is staring 1-3 in the face is going to be glorious

Disingenuous fact, then.

Are you saying the same for me because I doubt Lame Kiffin will win a championship at LSU.

And you’ll be nowhere to be found when LSU goes 4-0 to start the year.

Mensa Tom didn't do any favors for Sark. He left things in disarray. BK, while an idiot, did leave a better foundation. Plus, in the portal/NIL era, far easier to quickly gather talent.

Yes, it’s probably a safe assumption for you too

I don't think you realize how deficient this LSU roster is. Texas, for instance, is better at 21/22 positions, the only place LSU is better is TE1

UTranny had their cheeks spread on the road at Georgia, were barely even competitive in a loss to the soon-to-be-fired Billy Napier’s Florida and had to go to OT at Kentucky and MS State

Arch and Co. will lose at least 2 on the road at Tennessee, LSU and A&M.

After a week 2 loss against Ohio State at home, UTranny fans will already start the “We belong in the CFP at 9-3” campaign…yet again.
