re: Which SEC team is the biggest disappointment this season?

We will return most of them again too

But will you be able to take advantage? MSU, LSU, Arkansas, and aTm were all down this year. AU was better than expected, but was still quite beatable. You played Bama early in the year when they were still sputtering. You can't expect that kind of set up again can you? 5 of those teams look to be improving next year with aTm being the exception.

Still you comparing year 2 of freeze to year what 12 of richt? Surely you're not this stupid.

Year 2 has recently been a year of substantial improvement under new HCs in SEC. If things are ever going to vastly improve, that's typically the year it happens. Some can sustain it, some can't, but it's typically an important year marked by significant improvement.

Richt at UGA (13 wins, 1st SECC in 20 yrs)
Meyer at UF (MNC)
Muschamp at UF (11 wins, reached Sugar Bowl)
Saban at Bama (5 win improvement, won West)
Saban at LSU (won West)
Chizik at AU (MNC)
Dubose at Bama(3 game improvement)
Petrino at Arky (3 game improvement)
Spurrier at UF (would have won conference title if not on probation, also at USCe in his 2nd year, his 8 wins were 2nd most since 1988)
Tubberville at AU (4 win improvement)

*Miles was successful in his 1st year after walking into a great situation. One of two coaches on the list to take over a program that had won a MNC within the last 5 years. Saban left LSU in much better shape than Meyer did at UF.



What do all these coaches have in common? They represent every coach from the SEC that has coached in a BCS game except for Fulmer. Further, take away Muschamp/Petrino and these are the only coaches to win the SECCG since 1993 except for Fulmer

Freeze neither walked into a good situation nor had significant improvement his 2nd year, so you're basically hoping he's Fulmer who has, given the above information, proven to be quite an anomaly. You should start looking for a new coach IMO.
