And you are conveniently ignoring the fact they played (along with MS and Vanderbilt) #1 Florida, #2 Alabama, a South Carolina team that dismantled Clemson, and TN in OT. I guess its just opinions but I don't see many coaches doing any better with Kentucky level talent in the SEC.
I'm not ignoring it; I'm recognizing it. When it comes to conference games, he is consistently playing teams that are better than his. Year after year, conference after conference.
After 7 years, whose fault is it that he is perennially looking up at South Carolina?
To be fair. I dont remember many because we dont seem to get many that are that egregious. I honestly dont remember any "important" games that BAD calls have went our way.
If not for a phantom block in the back call on James' punt return, UF has an additional 7 and there is no roughing the passer call, because that happened on that drive that should have never happened.And the terrible roughing the passer call, admit it, that was bogus.
Pick 6 by Mayo turns into a field goal by Florida after that sorry-ass call.
Johnson and Chizik on that list=joke.
You are conveniently ignoring the fact that he wins 2.3 conference games every year with a schedule that includes Mississippi St. and Vanderbilt annually. His regular season numbers are simply due to very, very soft scheduling.
In 25 years in the PAC10 and SEC combined, he has had one good conference record, 7-1 in '94. In contrast, he has had 17 in which he won 3 or less conference games. In his best seasons at UK, his last 4, he has gone 4-4, 3-5, 2-6, 3-5.
Don't let wins over Idaho St and Louisiana-Monroe, or once in a generation victories over mediocre UGa or Auburn teams, or crappy bowl victories over East Carolina or 1/2 of Florida St fool you; against decent competition, Kentucky sucks. The conference record shows that, and after his 7th year, I think that shows a lot about their coach.
Chizik is the 3rd best coach in the sec like it or not and he sure as hell is the cutest coach in the sec. Lane is next cute wise but hes got a baby face. Chiz is a man.. Lane is a boy
