re: The people down on Kiffin right now are retards.

It's a better team than last year’s. I don't think there is any argument there. I think Coach Kiffen has done a good job with the offense considering the challenges on the O-line. The defense is still undisciplined in key situations. The HC is ultimately responsible for both.

However, claiming that everyone wanted him just isn't true. I was never high on Kiffen as a HC. IMO, it's still an open question.
