On the great silencing of a mediocre football coach.
This past week, Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin was louder than a belligerent drunk on Bourbon Street leading up to his moment inside that cramped room of never-ending losses. Then, after his team collapsed 24-10 on Saturday, noisy Kiffin spoke so softly in that small room that I sometimes had to read his lips to understand what he was saying. Call it the great silencing of a mediocre football coach.
I enjoy covering Kiffin, and I think his personality is great for the SEC, but I’m beginning to wonder if he’ll ever be an elite coach in this league. His teams struggle too often in big games. Kiffin could have left Ole Miss for Auburn last season. I’m not sure Hugh Freeze is the answer on the Plains, but maybe the final joke is on Ole Miss for giving Kiffin that huge pile of money.
Alabama only managed 115 yards of offense in the first half. The game was there for Ole Miss, but Alabama finally began to resemble the idea of a complete team in the second half. In the third and fourth quarters, Alabama’s offense out-gained Ole Miss 241 to 148. The crumbling of Ole Miss was worse than anything we’ve seen in the SEC West this season, and that includes Auburn’s ineptitude against Texas A&M on Saturday.
