Losses like this one for Kiffin have got to be demoralizing. This was the year, and he's got losses to three mediocre teams.

You spend ungodly amounts of money to put together the best roster you can get to come to Oxford, MS, and this is the result you get. Teams like LSU and Florida in their down years are still able to match or even exceed your talent level.

This is why we lose coaches at MSU. And if it wasn't clear to Kiffin that it's the same story at UMiss, it should be now.

Of course the flip side to this and the fortunate thing for the Johnnies is that true blue bloods will want Kiffin less and less as this continues. The Rebs will not be better next year.

My bet is that Kiff bails soon for somewhere with an easier path, like Florida State. Florida won't hire him now.

Also please note that they beat no one of consequence last year. Both blue bloods they played ran them out of the stadium. Fortunately for the Johnnies they ran up against Penn St, known only for their defense, in their bowl game, and literally half of said defense "opted out" of the game.

The fact of the matter is that OM is only a better than average team. They are far, far from elite.

And they never will be that.

Good news, Rebel fans! My sources tell me that Kiffin will not be going to a blue blood school. He’s yours for a long time.

Seriously though. Why would a high profile school want to hire him? You’ve seen what he’s done with high profile resources at a mid level school. Kiffin and OM deserve each other. May they go 9-3 every year, with an Egg Bowl loss.

Correct. That was the best roster money can buy. And it’s another reason we should not try and mimic their path.

We need a niche. Innovation.

I get it, but don't conveniently leave out the domination of the best team in college football the last 3 years just two weeks ago.

They are good, but Kiffin has a hard time overcoming his own arrogance.

This Mississippi team is a lot like our 2000 squad. Led in every game, looked absolutely dominant at times, and lost to some lesser teams. Hopefully, the bottom drops out for them next year, like 2001-2003 did for us.

Hopefully Jaxon Dart gets the flu and has to come out of the Egg Bowl in the 1st quarter. That would complete the cycle.
