re: SEC head coaches whose teams have won a New Year's Six bowl game

Isn't that a bit of a copout though?

Part of coaching is to make it to those games (which he did). Part of it is also to win those games (which he hasn't). If the teams he built weren't good enough to win those games, doesn't that count toward his evaluation?

Notre Dame not having enough talent to match up with opponents like Alabama, Clemson or OSU is in part due to his recruiting. UGA does have the talent to compete in games like that... mainly due to Kirby Smart's ability to recruit. That's a big part of being a college football coach.

Who knows?

I'm just saying he got bad draws most of the time.

Eli Drinkwitz beats Ohio State and their 4th string quarterback and gets a NY6 bowl win, we congratulate him.

Kirby faced Florida State's second team this year.

Oregon faced Liberty.

Then we say BK is a bad coach because he didn't beat three natty winners who went a combined 41-1.
