They are both just in their second year at their schools and 1-1 against each other I think it’s too early to make that assumption. I’m in no way a fan of South Carolina or Beamer but he is proving he isn’t Dooley 2.0 like I thought he was. Beamer is 15-10 so far Heupel is 16-8 so pretty similar records so far.
As an offensive guy? I don’t think many would agree. His career decisions are absolute rock bottom worst ever, but if he gets to a decent program and hangs around a bit, he will likely do well. I’m having a hard time believing he has only one win over a team that finished rank. I think he had two last year.
I’m quoting a tweet from an AP reporter who was ragging on Kiffin last night after the egg bowl loss on his career record. I posted that somewhere else, but I’ll post it again here. I would assume he is telling the truth, but he could be lying. My whole point in all of this commotion is that Kiffin has still yet to win a big one. No one can remember one, no one can point to one. I have zero respect for Beamer as a head coach, but he has won big games on a few occasions. Kiffin never has. They are equal in the big picture.
Was he talking about Ole Miss, or just in general? Because the win at USC over Oregon was a pretty big one. I think TAMU was a top 10ish team when he beat them last year and I assume they finished ranked. Arkansas also finished ranked, I think. I’m not really sure the expectations need to be a ton higher at Ole Miss. Freeze won a handful of big games, but was cheating his ass off to get elite recruits. Before that, it’s been a very long time since they’ve been significant.
If I were him, I would stay as well. He won 8 games this year, and the school is giving him $9 million, and the fans are begging him to stay. And this is after losing the most important game on their schedule. They’ll build a statue of him if he stays. He has just struck me as a guy who always feels like he can do better at someplace else. Maybe I’m wrong about him, but he feels like he is better than Ole Miss in my opinion.
That’s kind of an odd thing to harp on. The Raiders probably didn’t beat a playoff team for several years before and after his brief time there. How many teams did he even play at FAU that finished ranked? He probably could have gotten some more top 25 wins at USC, but with scholarship restrictions, I don’t know. Just feels like a hollow criticism.
None other than SOS but it’s not going to happen. It’s frustrating to sit back and watch how **** these other conferences are those though. Clemson played 2 teams with a pulse and lost to them both. OSU played 2-3 teams with a pulse (both at home) and lost to one and didn’t handle ND rather convincingly.
