All in all, we've got a good group of coaches in the SEC. *Most of them have respect for their opponents.* What made me think about this was watching Georgia vs Florida from 2002 on TV tonight. Richt has always been comptetive, I liken him to Coach Saban somewhat. Ron Zook, however, walked into a program that had high expectations. Spurrier was a douche bag and always will be a douche bag, and with him leaving after the 2001 season and Zook being hired, the SEC automatically had an integrity boost. I was going to write a little something about the coaches, but the only two I can't stand are Philly and Tuberville, just simply for their ass-like qualities. I think once Tubby gets his ass run from Auburn the SEC will automatically have another integrity boost. LSU - Nick Saban Georgia - Mark Richt Florida - Ron Zook Alabama - Mike Shula South Carolina - Lou Holtz Ole Miss - David Cutcliffe Miss. St. - Sylvester Croom Vanderbilt - Bobby Johnson Kentucky - Rich Brooks Arkansas - Houston Nutt Tennessee - Philly Fulmer Auburn - Tommy Tuberville * - See last two names on list.
I'm not really going on wins and losses, I'm going on how I percieve the guy to be. He seems to be a respectable guy. I don't know enough about Kentucky and Vandys coaches to put them any higher. For Shula, wins and losses, no, no, he'd be way down.
my list of preference if i was an AD of a university. Would move Holtz down since he is so old but I respect his abilities over phlatulent phil. not a character list per se but tubby can coach as can granny holtz. Nick Saban Mark Richt Lou Holtz Phillip Fulmer Houston Nutt Tommy Tuberville Ron Zook David Cutcliffe Sylvester Croom Bobby Johnson Mike Shula Rich Brooks
