I know the raw numbers, but who is perceived by the student body, alumni and fans of each sec school as their greatest and most beloved coach.....particularly wondering about LSU, Florida and A&M

I'm gonna say Frank Broyles. He's definitely the greatest figure in the athletic department. His coaching tree is pretty spectacular, too. Lots of assistants went on to do great things.

Probably Jackie Sherrill for A&M.
Although Kevin Sumlin could very well be looked back upon with more fondness than any former Aggie coach when it's all said and done.

I would be interested in BAMA's response more.
In my lifetime, Mine would be Bill Arnsparger, Saban, Les Miles in no order

It's Cholly Mac for LSU
Miles will pass him at some point
IMO you have to be somewhere more than 5-6 years to be considered

Currently perceived - Bryant
Actual - Saban
And I hate admitting that.
There are plenty of ways to debate that. I'd be glad to be wrong.

Les Miles has taken what was there when he got to LSU, and exceeded the LSU brand to a national name. We recruit nationally at an elite level now. He has just as many titles as the previous coach, and just as many SEC titles. The wins are also impressive.

Skip Bertman, and it's not even close.
Football has no clear choice. Debate will continue between Saban and Miles until Miles wins another crystal ball or two.

In order.
Jackie Sherril
Ags were a defensive powerhouse. For awhile we were known as linebacker U. One of earlier coaches to have a black QB - Murray. Because of length of tenure, he is number 1.
Bryant
Took a horrible team, cleaned house in Junction, had Ags in position to to win NC. News leaked out that he was going to Bama and Ags lost. Had Bryant stayed at A&M another 2 or 3 years, he is probably number 1.
Tie for 3rd -
DX Bible
and
Emory Ballard - Overtook Texas finally and firmly established A&M as a SWC contender and a place where top talent wanted to play ball.
