Ummmmm what?

Pete Carroll’s worst record ever as a HC was 6-10. He was a successful
Coordinator prior to becoming a HC. And returned to becoming a successful Coordinator after getting fired as a HC.

O’s best record as an actual
HC prior to LSU was 4-8 and best SEC record was 2-6 (3-21 overall). He has not spent a single day as a coordinator. Either before Ole Miss or after.

If you at suggesting that people improve. Yes it’s true. I can and does happen.

But it happens because you learn from experience and mistakes. Pete Carroll was very successful as a Coordinator, something O has never been, and after his time with the Jets went back to being a Coordinator prior to becoming the HC at NE.

There is nothing in the same or even similar between them. Other than wishful thinking.

But your evaluation of O has to include the 9-4 LSU record, which some of you refuse to do. It is always about the Ole Miss era, which is irrelevant today. And you can't possibly say that O had the same talent level back then. They asked Mark Richt about playing LSU. First he laughed, then questioned who signed off on that one. Then they asked him what scheme is LSU gonna use. He laughed again, then said, it's not about the scheme it's about the dudes.Then he said that's why we talk about recruiting so much. Then said it's not about the coach it's about the dudes. And they have the dudes. Saban has had the #1 class for about 8-9 years straight. He has the dudes. That last sentence is mine.

To be fair you have to consider his interem stint at USC when Kiffin went completely off the rails. There were many USC people that wanted him to be the HC along with the players. Kiffin is doing great now and seems to be more mature but his last year was a shite show starting with the Sun Bowl fiasco the year before. O may fail but you can’t ignore the temp job he did at USC.

None of the Ole Miss Stuff matters anymore. He was 6 and 2 and then 9 and 4 with 6 SEC wins. He is a couple of field goals and Guice remembering the play from 17 and 4 overall. And if Jackson and Battle could tackle we beat ND
