Steve Sarkisian vs Lane Kiffin

[6th Street 6,692]

Both burned out at USC, but their careers have gone in different directions since with Kiffin succeeding at Ole Miss while Sark continues to be mired in mediocrity. 

Kiffin has gone one to enjoy significant success at FAU and now Ole Miss, with 3 10-win seasons in 6 years. He is likely on his way to a 4th this year with Ole Miss at 8-1 and heading to another New Year's Day bowl game. Overall record 84-42.

Sark has yet to put together a 10-win season in his 9 years as head coach. His best season was 9-4 in 2014 after succeeding Lane at USC. Overall record 56-45. 

Sark is under contract for 4 more years. Assuming he gets one more year, he will be owed $17M after being fired following the 2023 season. Lane earns roughly $7.25M/season and should be on the short list of HC candidates to succeed Sark. Would probably take the Texas job for 6 years, $60M.
