Kiffin was 5-5 this year, would have been 5-6 if the aTm game weren’t canceled. He was two games better than Pruitt. Was it the flashy nature in which he always seems to lose between 4-6 games that has everyone enamored with him? Has anyone ever been more forgiven for being average-to-below-average than Kiffin? You always think he’s having a solid season, then you look up and he’s got 5 losses. And it’s this way everywhere he goes, save a couple big seasons at FAU (also had a 4-7 season at FAU).
He won 5 games this year with a couple of the best QB’s in the league on his roster and an All-everything WR.
5-7 to 7-5 is your ceiling with him, with the occasional outlier 9-3. He’ll have fun and flashy offenses, he’ll be a great soundbite, and a charismatic dude, but the program will not become a consistent winner that you’re all hoping for, and you’ll be right back to where you are now after 5 seasons of 7-5, 6-6.
