Thought you were talking about their rankings. I think it's a big year for Dan considering the way the schedule sets up for him.

Of course. All of these rankings are subjective. There's some arktard who would rank Bert over Gus based on losing a bunch of rose bowls.

Richt hasn't won multiple SEC championships? Nobody cares about losing title games..

Gus Malzahn has two SEC Championship rings...one as an offensive coordinator, one as a head coach. Both came with the most explosive offensive outputs in SEC Championship history.

And Gus Malzahn, at least, made it to the BCS National Championship Game.

1) Saban - no explanation necessary
2) Miles - no argument can be made for Miles not being top three in SEC.
3) Spurrier - would be second but he can't beat a Miles coached LSU team.
4) Richt - respect for Richt. Great coach and has quietly amassed a very impressive résumé at UGA.

5-14 who cares

Tell that to the UGA fans that want him gone for not even getting them there.

I agree Gus is solidly at 5. But I can't rank him over those other 4.

Gus is too high and Muschamp is too low.

Ummm yes it will, this year will tell us a lot if he is actually capable of taking us to 10 wins with a roster that is made up of his own developed talent.


What happens if he only wins 9? They cut a float from the parade?

Flip Richt and Les and I really don't have a problem with it, tbh.

Jury is still out for me on Gus. Richt has proven he can sustain an elite program year after year (as have Saban, Miles, and Spurrier).

Talent and coaching alone won't get you to the title game; a fair amount of luck is needed, too. Richt and UGA haven't had nearly the luck in a decade AU had in one season to get to the title game.

Gus Malzahn didn't take a 3-9 team, win the SEC Champiionship, and take the eventual National Champion down to the wire?

When did Kirby Smart do that, or even become a head coach?

Mark Richt has won two SEC titles in 13 years, the last one being 9 years ago. Gus won one in his first year. But Richt has maintained success which is an argument that Gus doesn't have the data to compare yet. An argument could be made for both, which is why I tiered them together...not above or below.

Looking at it career wise, Spurrier is obviously above both. But I look at these rankings as how good of a coach are they right now. And while Spurrier is still very good, he's not the same coach he was in Gainesville. Dude just got old. That being said, I could make an argument either way for Gus/Spurrier, which is why I tiered them.

Your post gave him a SEC title as a coordinator. That poster had every right to call you out.

Spurrier gets too much credit for his Florida days when it comes to being the coach at USCe. Is he a good coach? Of course he is but come the frick on.

Saban

Miles
Malzahn
Spurrier
Richt
Pinkel
Sumlin
Freeze
Jones
Muschamp
Mullen
Bielema
Stoops
Mason
