Against the worst teams on our schedule? Sure. As I said when he was named interim coach, we would get by on emotion for a while but that would wear off and he would actually have to coach. I don't think he can do it and I'm willing to bet that in less than 3 years our program will be just a shadow of what it is now and he and Kiffin will move on to fuck over someone else.
2 of the 3 worst teams on our schedule were played before he took over: Miss St. and Jacksonville State. He went 5-2 in the hardest part of our schedule and played 'Bama better than anyone else in the country. You don't lose points because you beat a bad team.
Nobody expected him to drop just 2 games through the gauntlet part of the schedule. Most had him losing to OM and aTm and we won those convincingly.
