Missouri came literally out of nowhere. They have played the best football out of all the teams in the East. If Pinkel wins the East, I think he should definitely receive the honor.
aka they got healthy...Gus on the other hand came in and took shittily coached players and made them winners in months
this is no contest

Saban shouldn't even be in the running for this award anymore. At this point, his accomplishments are expected - he's running a football factory at Bama.
I think Gus deserves this award, hands down. He not only had to totally infuse better, more efficient coaching he had to get into the heads of a bunch of players that literally quit on the previous staff. The mental turn-around Gus & Co have imposed on those players is phenominal. Gary Pinkel already had his players mentally prepared, he just got them healthy so they'd be physically ready to play.

Trying to take my black and gold glasses off so here goes:
I know most of you here in the SEC expected Mzzou to come in a be a doormat and not compete. Last year with all the injuries it made for some good conformation bias among SEC fans that Mizzou was shite.
The fact of the matter is Pinkel and Mizzou have been one of the top 15-20 programs in terms of win since he has been at mizzou with multiple 10 win seasons and a stint at number one and shot at the BCS title game in the last game of the regular season in 2007.
So this success, while surprising to some, isnt as accomplished as what Gus is doing in his first year at Auburn. If Auburn stumbles a bit Poinkel could move into the conversation but if they keep trucking along you have to give the award to Gus.
Now, Im gonna put my black and gold glasses back on...
