That kind of money spent at Bama would be fielding an NFL team. It's apples and oranges. He would have Bama or LSU in the playoffs every year. OM is comparable to State. Not to Bama or LSU. Come on man!!!
But to your point. Kiffin is a VERY AVERAGE coach. He's an incredible recruiter and works the Portland social media like no other. He's the sole reason bama lost to freeze in 2014. He absolutely sucks at calling a game.
