Very good. So you agree with my statement


I agree that the SEC is a tough conference, yes.

and he was recognized for his coaching skills by being fired a year later and took the best job offered- at Millsaps.

Meanwhile, Kif was recognized by being offered arguably one of the top 3 CFB coaching jobs in America and taking it

That's kinda the point dude. Just because you have success one season doesn't mean that much.

Administrations make less than stellar decisions all the time.

Of course they do. But in this case, the data point to a stellar decision thus far. Argue with that one.

Stellar? No. It may have worked out a little better than the administration thought but I think they settled; that he was the best they could get under the circumstances. Ron Zook once got offered a plum coaching job at UF,but not because he was the most qualified for the job.

Why am I not surprised with that statement?

With an extremely young team, limited by the most severe sanctions ever for a team allowed to play, losing several keys players, he gets the system his way and after finishing 10-2 and #6, he has USC in an great great position. And I throw in his elite recruiting as well, which is undisputed. But I'd be surprised if you don't try to argue the latter.

I don't know what the administration expected and neither do you. But you are either arguing for the sake of being obnoxious, or just blind. I think it's both, but that's just my observant opinion based on your posting history and style.

There's no point in trying to talk sports with you.

You resort to personal attacks since you know you have no argument due to your admitted disdain for LK and how he is a "douche" for leaving UT. You also seem biased towards the SEC with some of your comments.

You're an SEC homer who has a weird hate for SC and can't stand Kiff and the fact that he's a great coach and would be any school's top three or five choice to lead their program for the next decade.

I was watching the Robert Blake Interview this week. He made a statement "I'd argue with a rock [then try to beat it up]". This guy's postings remind me of that.

Be careful. He'll be all over you for adding the words "[three] or five choices".

Because it's a very level-headed informed opinion and that's what you've come to expect from me.

That's not hard to do. Pete Carroll hadn't had much success as a head coach before coming to USC, where there is a great disparity in talent between them and the rest of the conference, almost similar to the disparity between Miami and the rest of the Big East years ago.

I am arguing because I do not agree with you. I have no obligation to. There's got to be a reason you say stuff like this, I suspect it's because you are upset just like anyone who has that much love for Kiffin that wolfpack does has to be a little gay. But that's okay.

My opinion is there are other coaches just as capable, if not more so, of doing what Kiffin can do and have accomplished more. Acting as if Kiffin is turning around Kansas State is nonsense.

If thinking that there is not a tougher conference in all of college football than the SEC makes me a SEC homer, you're damn right.

the fact that he's a great coach


I think there are coaches who are greater.

There's a lot more coaching talent out there than you appear to be aware of.

Now you're trying to de-value to job PC, one of the greatest coaches in college football history, did. Amazing.

You seem to really think USC coaches have a monopoly on coaching talent. You seem to think USC is like the college football equivalent of Iowa State.

Are you 10 years old?

Are you a fricking biased moron?

Let me answer for you, yes.

PC built SC back up into the best program in America during his tenure. Kiff has taken over during a horrible situation and has SC in the best possible situation to be a national power for the next decade. Yet I'm ten years old because what PC and Kiff have done wasn't difficult.

I can't wait for the football season

Kiffin had one good season with two mediocre seasons. Something tells me SC fans are gonna be let down.

I'm am going to be biased towards whatever conference is the toughest in the land. And at that moment, it is the SEC.

quote:

One of the best programs. They were very good.

Maybe so but plenty of other coaches could do the same, I think.

That can be the only logical explanation for your love for PC and Kiffin. You really don't seem to understand how much coaching talent there is in this country.

Wow

Are you really gonna try and argue there was a better college football program than SC during PC's reign?

What is with you? They were not the only good program during his reign. Texas actually beat SC once. OU was a very good program. LSU was damn good.

They were just one of the better programs.

Well LSU won TWO[2] NC's while USC only won one. A very good team?? YES but not the best. I will take what Miles has done at LSU since he has been here to what PC did the whole time he was at USC.
