Did you or did you not say Lane Kiffin has proven nothing and that almost beating Alabama with an inferior team didn't matter? Yes, I did.
Yep, you did. Which is weird because I think it proves quite a bit when he almost beats the champions in their house with three walkons starting. In the mean time, Florida got throttled by the same team on a neutral field. That says a lot about both Kiffin and Meyer imo.
It proves NOTHING, except that bama won once, Florida won once, and ut lost twice.
I'm guessing you will turn around and say Meyer has a championships but with the way Saban handled Florida's best roster ever, I don't think he'll be beating Bama anytime soon as long as Saban is there.
Yes, Meyer has A championshipS. Bama scored more points than Florida just like the year before Florida scored more points than bama.
Why is it so absurd to assume that Kiffin would have done a better job than Meyer against Alabama if he didn't have putrid talent?
Because it is.
If Kiffin being competitive with little talent proves nothing then no coach that starts out at a bad school or a rebuilding school should ever move up the ladder.
