Has UM at any point at any time been as low as 91st in recruiting?

Kiffin has always been vastly overrated as a recruiting head coach. Gifted the one good class he signed at Tennessee, steadily regressed through four cycles at USC that should recruit top 10 classes in its sleep. He may be in over his head with the uphill battle recruiting at OM currently is.

I think a lot of his reputation is because Coach O was on his staff. C-USA recruiting rankings are pretty hit or miss and probably fairly inaccurate because the vast majority of those players are all going to be three stars or worse.

If he keeps recruiting like this his ass will be gone before Arch Manning's class comes up.

Serious question, don’t you think OM will bring in a "special" Coach for new Manning like they did for Eli? Any thoughts or rumblings heard? I'm sure the network is already making plans.

Absolutely. But I don't know who their David Cutcliffe would be at this point. Part of the hope of hiring Kiffin I'm sure was that he could recruit well enough to bring in a good cast around Manning. We'll see how that goes.
