Right now, whom is the higher rated SEC head coach, Kiffin or Drinkwitz?

Drink's recruiting/NOL success may give him the edge.

Thats all great but what big games has he won

none - Drink is 0'fer against ranked opponents

granted MIZZOU is like 3-47 in big games over the last half a century so the problem isn't just him

This is the kind of threads that defines the term rose colored glasses. Kiffin has been a HC for 3 power5 schools, has 2 national championships as DC, coached in the NFL and is a protege of the Saban coaching tree. He is probably regarded as one of the top 3-5 coaches in college right now.

But Drinkwitz is, arguably,, the superior producer in NOL recruiting these days. That is huge. Hardy was there for the taking for Kiffin. How did Drinkwitz land, possibly, the top NOL RB in the portal when he was in Ole Miss' backyard?

Kiffin already had Lacy. He hardly needed Hardy.

Pundits say Drink is better at recruiting with more NFL capable talent. I think in this moment, that gives Drink the edge over Kiffin.

Who do you think is NFL caliber on this team? I do see a lot.

On defense, Young, Wilson, Trotter, McClellan.

On offense, Roberts, Olugbode, Norfleet, Green, Trost. Maybe Johnson. Maybe Hardy.

thanks dudes you clueless homers crack me up! Kiffin is a Big Name dude whose team is either one or two in SEC and EVERYONE wants him and average fan KNOWS him and wants him.

Drink is still nothing and done nice job rebuilding a dead program but few SEC fans know who he is and he hasn't BEATEN anyone of note. Heard bunch of SEC talking heads talk about top coaches and NONE ever talk about him other than he is a great interview for them.

Every huge opportunity his good teams have in last 3 seasons they blew it. In fact last year despite a very good team got DESTROYED by the two big brands they played.

Drink is still second tier and a nice story but if your a SEC or CFB AD he isn't on your short list. Kiffin? Everyone wants him. When Deboer got beat up in FSU game bama fans were all in on Kiffen to come there.

Go beat someone Eli of note and make a splash. So far your still at the kiddie table at the feast. And I like Eli a lot as CEO of Tigers. think his agent will use all these openings to rework his contract which is only money and fine. Biggest boost would be again, more for Assistants especially to replace a failed Kirby and more NIL budget. He has it made in Como with little pressure and relatively great success and filled the stadium every game and now Great facilities.

Kiffin.

And that's no knock on Drink.
