Comparison: Fickell, Riley, Kiffin, Aranda, Napier…

Just to put some numbers to the discussion of 5 candidates I see mentioned, here are their total offense, total defense, and SOS rankings so far for 2021, in no particular order:
NAME — OFFENSE — DEFENSE — SOS
Aranda — 13 — 33 — 48
Fickell — 54 — 10 — 36
Kiffin — 3 — 100 — 4
Riley — 17 — 68 — 22
Napier — 47 — 66 — 82
My observations: Aranda has been quietly impressive, Kiffin/OM defense is trash, Riley/OU defense leaves a lot to be desired, I’m not sure Napier belongs in the discussion at this point.

ULL is 6-1 and only loss to UTa week 1.
These stats can't be control group when comparing candidates

I’m not on the Kiffin train, but looking at your stats all he would need is a top DC. He could easily get that at lsu. Now the guy is a national contender based on those stats

Jeff Grimes is an outstanding OC. Was great at BYU and has been great so far at Baylor. His wide zone run scheme is very effective and he’s excellent with QBs as well.

I'm not advocating Napier, but comparing SOS is not really an accurate measure unless you also adjust for the level of talent he is coaching.
If you put me at head coach of each of those programs, I'm going to get the most talent to come to Oklahoma and my teams there will be better. ULL is at the other end of that spectrum.

Lets compare apples to apples with regards to Napier:
The Sun Belt aint the SEC
SOS has a whole different meaning when comparing the Sun Belt to the SEC
Total offense numbers is a totally different animal when you're playing Georgia defense types vs Arkansas St defense types
Total defense numbers is a totally different animal when you're playing Alabama offensive types vs Georgia St offensive types.
Enough of the Napier crap.

I agree, Aranda is looking like a good option. I think he would be a better fit than Fickell, especially when you look at the fact that Aranda was here 2 yrs ago and knows the recruiting trail here.
