You need to go back back and reread what I wrote. I didn't say Michigan would hire him, but that Sexton was wag Joey Freshwater's name out there.
Kiffin decided to talk sh*t
- Thread starter MSUDC11-2.0
- Start date
Ok, I listened to it. My take is it was a pretty ****** and petty way to state it.
Of course it's true that the two programs are in different places from the standpoint of coaching continuity in recruiting and on field. But the reason is pretty obvious and it didn't have much to do with Ole Miss excellence or whatever he wants to imply.
He's a solid coach. That's obvious by the number of posters here who want, hope, pray or expect him to leave. He could use an injection of class and humility occasionally.
We were in an awful "perfect storm" situation a year ago with no AD and the head coach suddenly dying. The underlying situation that led to our crap season has been resolved.
Not to mention that bluebloods like Michigan or Alabama wouldn't let his son go shooting off fire extinguishers on the sidelines.
I really need someone to sell me that Ole Miss hasn’t passed State. It really feels like the rivalry is more a Michigan v. Michigan State rather than than an even one
They only beat us head to head by 7. We beat them last year. They ain't that far, if any, ahead of us. Our fans on the other hand are light years behind theirs. We seem to award fan credit by talking about how bad we are. I'll give them credit, they don't do that. We have the absolute worst fan base in college sports.
You’re missing the point. Yes, they are in a better spot than us right now. But talking about it has not boded well in the past for other coaches that have done it. The script in this rivalry flips often.
If you can’t see the difference in 10-2 and 5-7 I don’t know what to tell you. You think anyone else in the SEC think we’re close to them? I certainly can see us being right there with them in the future but we’re not there now.
I think he's looking at one football game and one season. Looking at things more than just microscopically. He also knows the SEC is crapshoot every year for most of the teams. Not to mention that injuries can also change a season. It's hard to get to that level of Bama or Jawjah where things like injuries don't affect your team because you have other players waiting on the bench. We're starting to see what NIL might affect in that part can and change the building of the team.
That was one game out of 12. They're further ahead of us than they've been for a long time. And that was one of the most comfortable 7-point wins I've ever seen. Score was misleading.
