The point was more that one set of stats don't tell the whole story one way or another. There are still folks that swear on CJM being the best coordinator just because he won two NCs, but dismiss CLK for winning 2 straight SECCGs and 1 NC. So if CLK stays the course and is a part of another NC does that suddenly change the narrative since CLK would've been a part of 3 SECC and 2 NC to CJM's 2 NC and 1 SECC??? No, we only use stats to try to validate our own view and perception, and you can find single stats sprinkled all over to defend a pov. But I think if we really want to decide how effective a coordinator is, we must compare him based on the reasons they were brought in and against other teams of that time period.
Personally I think CLK's offense is more of a safety valve in case our own defense breaks down. It is an aggressive style that is used to make sure that we are never truly out of a game. CJM and CDN offense was a ground and pound offense designed to force submission. The problem is that offenses like Sumlin's and Gus's made their way here, and sometimes our defense got lost, and our offense got stuffed. It made it very difficult to win those types of games. I would argue had CLK been hired before the 2013 iron bowl we probably boat race Auburn with amari. I think while CLK gets very stubborn at times, I think I would rather have his offense in the current era than Macs or Nuss's, and the latter's between 08-12. IMO
