Kiffin had Ole Miss end the year ranked in the top 10 last year. 3 years ago they finished #11. He's a good coach, if not very good.

He's an outstanding OC. I'd argue he is as good as OC as anyone. In his 3 years at Bama he had 3 different players at 3 different positions win SEC offensive player of the year, 2 of those guys were 1st year starters. If someone prefers Sark I can understand, but the thing that made Kiffin so good is that he could win in so many different ways. He didn't have to have a polished QB to have a great offense.

I'm not dismissing his chops as an OC, but, IMHO, he tends to get ahead of his skis at critical moments.

I'll remember him for doing wonders for Blake Sims, transforming our offense, etc. However, I will ALSO remember forgetting about Derrick Henry against Ohio St in 2014, as well as his childish antics leading to the National Championship game in 2017.

That is my opinion of him.
