I think the prevailing wisdom used to be--as you said above--he won't win an NC at Ole Miss. But I'm not so sure what supports that in this day and age. Ole Miss has shown a willingness to get with the times and pay to get the talent. These Ole Miss teams have NC caliber talent, if they don't win one, some things either didn't break their way or he's doing a subpar job of coaching. Either way, both of those things would still be factors at LSU or Florida, thus, it's silly to say "He won't win a NC at Ole Miss, but he could at LSU or Florida."
Yeah, except for reality.
Suggesting Ole Miss can/could win a NC under Kiffin goes against all the available evidence, in 2 different ways.
1 - Ole Miss has not won even a share (when that was a thing) of a CONFERENCE championship in 62 years.
2 - Still, amazingly, the last time a program won its first NC was my Florida Gators in 1996 - 29 years ago. OM has never won an official NC (although they were robbed in 1960).
There is no support for Ole Miss being able to win a NC, especially in today's format, which makes any individual team's path to a NC the most difficult/unlikely in history.
