Kiffin: Carroll's best team would beat Saban's best team

 

[TheReal_NU]

The 2013 Seahawks were pretty good.

Kiffin wasn't a coach on Alabama's best team - 2011/2012.

I would agree. USC had great defenses. Bamazing had great defenses. USC had great offense. Bama has an offense

FOOTBALL OUTSIDERS: Innovative Statistics, Intelligent Analysis | 2012 FEI RATINGS, OFFENSE

Alabama #7 offense in 2011(#1 Defense).
Alabama #4 offense in 2012(#2 Defense).

I have no real opinion/care on which would win, but I'm not sure why Alabama never gets credit on offense.

For shits and giggles, Alabama offenses under Kiffin:

2014 - #6
2015 - #18
2016 - #19

AJ McCarron was under-rated.

You already told us those teams weren't good.

. But Kiffin, of course, was an assistant on both teams when their dynasties were at their peak. According to SB Nation's ranking of the 50 best teams since World War II, the 2005 USC team (No. 5 overall) ranks ahead of the highest-ranked Alabama team (28), the 2012 squad that beat Notre Dame in the penultimate BCS title game.

I'll take them over the '05 Dolphins all day. Then again I am biased.

To be fair though who's to say Saban wouldn't have won 3 straight Super Bowls if he hadn't quit after his first losing season? Oh yeah, probably Daunte Culpepper.

With AJ Mc Carron at QB? The rest of the team was great but against a defense where Clay Matthews couldnt crack the starting LB spot? Umm no

 

[Chewbaccer]

The same Carroll teams that lost to terrible UCLA and Stanford teams to keep them out of a shot at a national title?

I'm not one to play the what if games, but AJ McCarron was under-rated and Alabama doesn't get the credit they should offensively.

You guys can argue over who would win all you want, I'm ok if everyone thinks USC would win.

"Kiffin wasn't a coach on Alabama's best team - 2011/2012."

Those are your words, so no idea why you would spout of Kiffin's offensive stats in an argument of Saban's best vs Carroll's best.

If you are OK, than why are you arguing?

Umm Pete had more than two seasons at USC.

Kiffin also is being a buthurt bitch sooooo....

No idea? Reading is too hard?

You said Alabama doesn't have great offenses.

Carroll wins because of better game day coaching. Saban can't be beaten by talent alone but every loss comes down to coaching.
