Steve Sarkisian takes aim at Lane Kiffin over "dynasties are over" comments amid Ole Miss HC being linked to Florida job

Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian has aimed at his Ole Miss counterpart, Lane Kiffin. Sarkisian caught wind of Kiffin's claim that dynasties are dead in college football.

Sarkisian said,

"He says a lot."

Sarkisian is attempting to create a dynasty in Texas, as he has guided the team to two straight national championship semifinals and developed numerous future NFL stars. So, it's understandable that he wasn't enthused with Kiffin's words.

Sarkisian and Kiffin are the head coaches of two of college football's finest programs. The duo might not agree on many things, but they certainly know how to achieve results in the ever-evolving world of college football.

Sarkisian has earned numerous accolades, including the 1996 Sammy Baugh Trophy, the 2020 Broyles Award, and the 2023 AP Big 12 Coach of the Year Award. In comparison, Kiffin has earned a nomination for the 2021 Paul "Bear" Bryant Coach of the Year Award. The two are among the finest coaching minds of their era.

Steve Sarkisian and Lane Kiffin vying for college playoff spots

Steve Sarkisian's Texas Longhorns have a 7-2 record this season. The Longhorns are the No. 11-ranked side in the nation according to the AP Poll.

Sarkisian's side has suffered losses to the Ohio State Buckeyes and Florida Gators this season. They've since pulled off four consecutive wins to leave them on the verge of securing a playoff spot. Their next games are against Georgia, Arkansas, and Texas A&M.

Lane Kiffin's troops are posting a 9-1 record for the season. The Rebels recorded six straight wins to start the campaign.

Their first loss was against the Georgia Bulldogs. They've since bounced back and recorded three consecutive wins against formidable opposition.

Lane Kiffin's side has games against Florida and Mississippi State. Wins in both games should guarantee their safe passage to the playoffs.

The end of the season is approaching, and there's a good chance that one or both teams will make the playoffs. It'll be a solid achievement for Sarkisian and Kiffin as they look to continue their impressive coaching careers.
