Let’s see what AI has to say.

Been a while since I’ve been here. Pretty much just come back in these situations.

Bored guy on a couch - so I ran some AI models.

Basically had it scour all of the message boards, news sources and betting odds and compile all the information.

It’s a bunch of bullshite but interesting to see what it came up with. Other models had Kiffin as high as 32%.

Quick highlights:

Consensus-only simulation
• Joe Brady — 21.01%
• Jon Sumrall — 17.19%
• Lane Kiffin — 16.59%
• Nick Saban — 12.59%
• Clark Lea — 9.18%
• Kenny Dillingham — 6.98%
• Dan Lanning, Eli Drinkwitz, Marcus Freeman — lower single digits


Consensus + Kiffin family-visit boost (Kiffin ×1.25 then renormalized)
• Lane Kiffin — 19.88% (increased from ~16.6%)
• Joe Brady — 19.78% (slightly down from 21.0%)
• Jon Sumrall — 16.60% (slightly down from 17.19%)
• Nick Saban — 12.19%
• Clark Lea — 8.52%
• (Others shifted down modestly)

The consensus-only sim surprisingly made Joe Brady the leader (because one of the sources heavily favored him). Different odds boards emphasize different names — that’s why the consensus approach helps average across noise.

The Kiffin boost moved Kiffin to the top in the boosted model, reflecting how family visits / private trips are often high-value signals in real-world coaching searches.
