    At his only stop where he built a team on his own they were better before he got there and after he left.

    Well get past your personal hatred for Kiffin, because what he has done for Alabama is nothing short of amazing.

    Sure it is, he put on a clinic vs Aranda. Dude is making hay with superior talent.

    But you're right, I'm in the minority so I'll have to suck it up. Hell, maybe I'm even wrong.

    Well a national championship and two playoff appearances say you are definitely wrong.

    Not sure if results matter to you. I can't speak to that.

    Should have been at that Peach Bowl in first year of CFP playoff........TCU vs Ole Miss (the same OM that beat Alabama that year) Ole Miss the "best" defense in the SEC in 2014, 21-0 in about 7 minutes on those
    "Landsharks or Landseals", 44-3 for the night, Patterson had the offense take a knee on 2 straight drives. (That keeps the stats down).

    My prob all along with Orgeron is that we just fired a former D line coach, great recruiter, great motivator, great program manager who is not really an X and O coach so you have to surround him with great coordinators.

    Other than saving money because O hasn't done anything, why fire Miles if you were gonna hire somebody just like him??

    Any new coach is a risk, but I would be far better with LSU risking it for a guy like Herman or Kiffin or somebody than playing it "safe" with O and ending up with Miles II Electric Boogaloo.

    What part of superior talent do you not understand. I haven't been impressed in their games against us. He could be worse, so there's that.

    I'd rather Ensminger.

    And no. I don't think we will be significantly better with O than we were under Miles.
