I would not call others retards if you live in Louisiana. Unless a Mississippi fan of course. Quick Google for States with lowest IQ average... Mississippi registers the lowest average estimated IQ score at 94.2, followed closely by Louisiana (95.3) and California (95.5).
Apparently you are retarded as well…congratulations. I guess you don’t know how much one can reasonably conclude from an “average”…you should feel stupid for posting that.

Lame Kiffin has never made the playoffs at his new school or in the NFL. The key is first year at a new school or the NFL. Kirby Smart and Nick Saban failed to do it too.
Saban basically sacrificed the 2007 season to install a culture.

To be fair, he has this board in shambles despite not coaching a game yet.

Yes he is.
Yes he is.

Sark has coached in and won a CFP game. Kiffin has not.
Only because he really, really wanted to be the LSU head coach.

But why is OU ranked high in the polls and not Tennessee?

Neither has proven much as a head coach but Sarkisian was the better OC at Alabama

That could mean anything. They both have been fired from the same school, and neither has won it all. Personally, I give Les Miles and Mack Brown the big edge.

He learned it by watching sark

They’re about the same to me. Both need to win a title.

Sarkesian 12-6 / 7-5 PAC
LK - 8 - 10 -7 - 3 wins
SS - 9 - 3 wins
2013 SoCal went on to win 10 games total after LK was left on tarmac at 3-2 in year 4 -
2015 SoCal finished with 8 wins after SS resigned his post at 3-2 in year 2 -
Lane beat Steve 2 of 3 head to head while LK was at SoCal and SS at UW -
LK had NCAA sanctions that cut 30 scholarships over 3 seasons and 2 year bowl ban out the gate - SS took over after LK without any sanctions - Kiffin was a better coach at SoCal than SS -

Here's another measuring stick. I know that Sam Leavitt doesn't like to get hit. At ASU vs Miss State and a few others, the more he got rocked, the more his throwing motion changed, and even when feeling pressure, he was throwing to whomever by the end. It's going to take a Kiffin QB whisperer moment to coach that stuff out of him once he starts seeing ghosts.

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.

Exactly. That's why Sark was given leeway.

Pete Golding won 2 playoff games that too is a fact. Want him as your coach.

quote:I don't think it's a straight comparison, Kiffin actually went 10-2 at USC before the bottom fell out with probation. If that had happened with USC's back-then interest combined with today's NCAA impotence, USC would have said "frick you" and sued, got a complete pass, and built into a monster program again.
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.
Sark was very good at Washington, before USC. But he had some more room to work with, in a less competitive confererence there, than say Kiffin at Tennessee. SEC was insanely tough back then.
From what I can figure out, Kiffin was considered the superior offensive mind while they coached on the same staff, and usually followed Kiffin at jobs, adapting to former Kiffin offenses.
Per google, Sark is considered the better scheme guy, Kiffin the better in-game guy. Sark tends to play safer while Kiffin pushes the bubble.
I don't think Sark could do at Ole Miss what Kiffin did. Conversely, I have never seen Kiffin put any real emphasis on defense; he always seemed to try to win 40-30. Maybe that changes with LSU, as he now has a team capable of recruiting and fielding top defensive groups.
