re: Is Sarkisian a better coach than Kiffin?

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.

The weird thing about Kiffin is, it may well not be Leavitt starting at the end of the season.
LSU fans all hope so, for hype purposes.

But Kiffin brought in Longstreet and Clark, a 5 star transfer from USC and an athletic dude from an FCS team. If Leavitt goes sideways, there's every chance Kiffin makes a swap, and the next dude goes off.
Look at Austin Simmons and Trinidad Chambliss last year. You thought Ole Miss was dead, instead they made a nobody into a superstar.

For the record, I don't think Sark could do that.
