The SEC was almost the same last year.

You had Bama, LSU, Arky, and then a significant dropoff.

Oregon and USC weren't on LSU and Bama's level last year. No team was even close.

Arky was on the same level as USC and Oregon last year.

The PAC 12 championship game involved a 6-6 UCLA. Only 3 teams in the PAC 12 won more than 7 regular season games.

USCjr beat the ACC champion. UGA was a top 15 team last year. Auburn and UF would have been ranked in any other conference.

The big 12 may have an argument, but the pac 12 definitely doesn't. Id take the big 10 last year over the pac 12.

Agree - he may be a tool, but he can coach pretty well. He only had 2 bad coaching games the year he was at UT, the UCLA game and the VaTech?wl game.

Thats odd one was a California team and a bowl game when he knew he was leavingThe other big games he wanted to win for his ego not the university or players

I would substitute the VaTech for Ole Miss.

In the VT game, we were so overmatched to begin with, the outcome was never questioned. We hung tough until Moore dropped that wide open TD pass. After that, the wind went out of the sails.

The Ole Miss game was the best game they played all year. They really wanted to stick it to Orgeron.

Kiffin took full responsibility for the UCLA game. It was nice to have a coach that did that.

Hayden is the guy who is responsible bringing Kiffin to USC. He was at the time, heading the USC search Committee and was the guy who recommended that Mike Garrett hire Kiffin.

The bottom line is that Kiffin can recruit and is proving to be a very good game day coach.

Its not that I dont think Kiffin Cant recruit, I am saying Hayden is the one that is keeping him under control were as at UT he was a loose cannon...Because we didnt have a hold of him. Heydon deserves alot of credit with the turn around...of Kiffin antics..

Like him or not, Kiffin is a recruiter. Befrore he hires an asst coach, they have to be all about recruiting. Every move he makes is about recruiting. If they put a new door mat in the coaches office, he wants the one the recruits like best. If they need to paint the hall outside the locker room, he wants the paint the recruits like. Before he answers a question , he thinks of the answer recruits would like. The guy puts recruiting ahead of everything. He is the most deliberate recruiter in the country, with every move he and his staff make governed by recruiting first.

Ole Miss game was 3 days after the infamous pellet gun caper and I don't think Belichek could have had that team ready to play.

It was 2 freshmen that weren't starters. Thats just an excuse.

Matt Cassel's dad died on a tuesday and he had his best game ever against the Raiders.

Tony Dungy's son committed suicide during playoffs and the Colts end up winning the Super Bowl.

There are two examples of off the field incidents not effecting the game.

The cap gun robbery by Keese, Edwards and JJ was much more serious than the events you listed.

All I know is y'all are doing exactly what he wants. Talking about him. He needs to put some of you on the payroll if you aren't already.

Why use silly pictures when you can point to fans losing their minds and going so far as to threaten his family. Yeah, what he did was a douchebag move, but fan response at the time was outrageous.
