Yes he is.
All you have to do is look at the recruiting rankings to see it has nothing to do with talent, nor is it due to a drop in recruiting.
It's just the kind of shite people want to believe.

If people want to believe memes, let them.
SEC just sucked this year. Ohio State pays well too and always will and they are doing fine.

Everybody payed players , that's not a secret to anyone who studied college football. When they allowed players to transfer without sitting out a year and could transfer in conference was the start of it. Bama use to have 4 and 5 stars stacked 3 sometimes 4 deep. That pushes the starters to ball out of get passed. Little by little the last few years quality transfers were leaving and the players started getting paid on top of that . They aren't being pushed in practice and aren't near as hungry. Most top players are making damn good money.
Milroe was making 2 and half million this year, he would run out of bounds a yard before the first down marker many times. He played harder against teams like LSU , Georgia because it was marquee games. Most games he played not to get hurt. These smaller teams like ASU and Boise had hungry players who are trying to get paid big money so they are balling out. Teams like Ohio state spent a lot of money and have playmakers all over the field and are motivated after getting embarrassed by Michigan. They slept walked through that game and are turning it on in the playoffs. What did anyone expect when you pay players millions and let them leave when coaches try to coach hard . And let teams offer millions to same conference players to transfer without penalty. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that it has turned into NFL minor league.

It seems to me it's the ACC that's losing if any one. Their highest this year is Miami at #16.
That is 10 SEC teams ranked ahead of them and 4 Big10 teams. And Mizzou is right behind them in #17.
Clemson is down at #30. Below Kentucky, Miss St and South Carolina. In 2020 they had the #3 class. #5 in 2021, and as NIL has kicked in lower and lower. Only Arkansas(#32) and Vandy(#58) rank lower than what was the top of the ACC only a few years ago.

Down year.
Georgia lost a lot of top end talent.
They won 2 chips in a row.

People have been saying this the last two seasons. This isn’t prophetic by any means.

The Big Ten having deeper pockets could be a problem later on but im not buying Ohio State, Penn State, Texas, Notre Dame, and others have been held back by some moral dilemma of cheating until now that's its removed. They didn't get their blue blood status from aww shucks.

This continues to be a lazy, ignorant take made by people who don't know ball.
Other leagues have famously paid players and gotten caught, multiple times.
The SEC has dominated the Big 10 and every other conference on the field for decades, and the powers that be have capitulated to the whiners and changed the rules to suit multiple times.
Every one of these tweets and gotcha hot takes involves a single specific season, game, or scenario and ignores the entire body of work that has literally made entire conferences quit because they couldn't find any other way to actually complete with the SEC.
"I keep losing, therefore the only explanation must be that my opponent is cheating." <— loser mentality bullshite
"Hey, we just won a single bowl game while you had a new coach/backup qb. The entire SEC is arse." <— loser mentality bullshite
"Those yell leaders are really gay." <— actually, that one is true

This doesn't mean shite when your coaching is lacking. And, on a conference-level coaching in the SEC is lacking. Michigan beat Alabama with 2 tomato can QBs who together aren't a 1/4th of what Milroe is and bullied a 4 and 5 star OL around with a second string defense. UGA has out-recruited ND as well and ND whipped them fairly easily. It's coaching!

I think the biggest factor for the BIG the last 2 seasons was Michigan & Ohio St spending a lot to retain upperclassmen that normally would've went pro more than anything.

Who wants to coach SEC Prima Donna’s?

Are we to believe Oklahoma, USC and Nebraska weren’t paying players in the 80s and 90s? Because we all know they were.
Modern media (if you can call a Barstool persona that) is just one stupid hot take after another. And then they get amplified in the Thunderdome of hot takes - the Rant.

Plenty. I think part of the issue is many SEC schools got so caught up in trying to find "their Saban" and not the right guy for the job who has his own ideas and ways of doing things that it has set the conference back when it comes to coaching.

It’s more of a coincidence
