Comparing the # of Championship Coaches at each Big 6 School

Below I listed the number of national & conference title coaches for each school. A few things I found interesting:
*Georgia has a low number of championship coaches with the majority of their titles coming under Butts & Dooley.
*You're more than likely going to win some type of championship if you coach at Alabama. Absolutely ridiculous
*Surprising that 10 coaches have won a conference title at LSU with no coach winning more than 2 titles.
*Florida hadn't won a conference title prior to Spurrier in 1991.

Tennessee isn't Big 6 anymore.

LOL this guy broke Florida's home winning streak and won an SEC Championship the same year he lost to Louisiana Tech

And he's currently the LB coach at Opp High School.
Damn

Dubose may have had my favorite haircut of any coach in the history of ever. It's like a cross between Woody Harrelson in Kingpin and a 1990s skater. Just fantastic

Curley Hallman went from an assistant to Bear Bryant, to HC at Southern Miss, to hc at LSU, to assiatnt under Dubose, to special teams coach at State, to HC at Muscle Shoals HS in SC, to being fired from a that high school gig after 4 straight losing seasons (he never had a winning season there). And people wonder why LSU sucked so badly in the early 90s

Like, those guys must have not even have been interviewed.
"Mike/Curley, you gonna do what Coach Bryant did?"
"Yes sir we gonna have a program just like Coach Bryant did"
"Well, I don't have anything else. What would like your starting salary to be?"

This is not true.
Florida won in 1984. The title was later forfeited in 1985...

I imagine Curly's went something like:
Joe Dean: "So you played for Gene Stallings and coached under Bear Bryant?"
Curly: "yes sir"
Joe: "And I understand you coached Brett Favre?"
Curly: "yes sir"
Joe: "And I understand you are cheaper than the other young coaches around?"
Curly: "yes sir"
Joe: "welcome to baton rouge"

Majors won a Championship at Pitt before returning home to Tennessee. The rebuild he inherited is the only time frame in our history that compares to what CBJ inherited. He set the stage for our natty under the Phil although Fulmer was a part of that rebuild under Majors and is definitely our second best coach of all time.
Also, before the post-Fulmer head-spinning coaching carousel, we'd been a model of stability and had comparatively few coaches. Neyland, Majors, and Fulmer had very long tenures.

I think if Fulmer was let go after the 2005 season and not when he was, things would have played out much better for Tennessee in the long run. Fulmer had gotten lazy recruiting, and by the time he was gone, there wasn't much left. Then, Kiffin leaving after a year, and very late, just exasperated the problem. It's kind of crazy to think how good Tennessee was year in and year out for as long as they were and then look at them today

It truly is, my sister went to Tennessee and she only witnessed two home losses in her four years there. It really puts it into perspective.

Absolutely agree. But honestly, how could the AD justify letting him go after his first losing season? Hindsight is 20/20, but at the time, it would have been nearly impossible to get rid of him. The biggest mistake was giving him an extension after the 2006 season and again after 2007, then hiring Kiffin, then panic hiring Dooley.
It took a perfect shitstorm to bring down Tennessee, and Mike Hamilton is the architect of said shitstorm.

They won 100 games in the 90s with only 2 SECCG game appearances and an 11 game regular season. 100-22-2 record (81.96% win percentage). For comparison, Nick Saban's record at Alabama is 100-18.

Yep - Cutcliffe came in and saved the day and everyone thought all was well again. Then Cut left and the emperor was shown to have no clothes.

The Kiffin thing still is interesting to me. I wonder what people who knew him professionally told Hamilton and the search committee. I mean, we all know him today as Tennessee/USC Kiffin, but at that time everyone kind of thought he had been screwed over by Al Davis and that you could discount anything that happened in Oakland because it was a nut hosue. He was a USC guy, great coach father, etc. Then all of a sudden he started with all the yapping, hired the big expensive staff, etc and boom, the new Kiffin rep was born.
The killer one was the Dooley hire. I never understood that. It made no sense, his track record was non-existent or up and down at best. His relationship to the "Saban tree" wasn't even very solid. He was basically a position coach for a few years. I just didn't get it. I don't know why they did it.

There really wasn't anyone available to hire when Dooley was hired. The only thing I can think of for Dooley, in particular, was he was a young guy who had recruited very well on Saban's staff at LSU, came from a long football pedigree, was a smart guy having been an AD and HC at La Tech, and took La Tech to their forst bowl game in program history.
