Grading out SEC Coaching hires

Here are my grades.... What are your's?
LSU- B+ ... Krags is a proven OC and can develop the QB. Time will tell though. Either way still a Monumental Upgrade from Crowton. His stint at Louisville is his only blemish on his resume. LSU will be going back to our bread and butter the play action passing with a running game designed to wear down even the best of Defenses.
Alabama- A ... really like the hire of T martin. He should help Bama lock down the Mobile area while giving you a much better WR core. I don't know much about your Oline coach though.
MSU - D- .... Your staff lost all their big name recruits when Diaz left and now you hire a guy that claims credit for Bama's great 08 class yet can't get any of those big names to even visit MSU. Hopefully he can at least coach a defense.
FL - D+.... I have seen FL fans say this staff is great. I respectively disagree. This one was easy for me. You hire a DC that has seen better days as your HC. You hire your offensive staff before you hire your OC and then your OC hire has a huge ego and on top of that didn't get to pick his own staff. Things are not gonna mesh on the swamp IMO. There will be power struggles for several years until FL wises up. Over all it will be a rough few years down on the swamp.
OM... C ok hires, but you are still Ole Miss.
Vandy..... we are still waiting for your hire.

He hasn't got the job yet. He's interviewing sometime next week.

Well what was that thread saying he got the job yesterday?

Auburn - oh wait we haven't lost a coach in two years

AC Carter is in the mix at Bama, too.

Who did State hire that was associated with Bama's 08 class?
FWIW, I think LSU and UF hit homeruns with their o-coordinator hires. I think you are talking about 2 guys that excel when not given too much to worry about. Weis and Krag know offense, but were clueless about running a program. UF getting Weis especially was a grand slam (although there are ego/chemistry risks involved with him).

Geoff or whatever his name is

Auburn's grade is a D for keeping that embarrassing group of coaches. The "Minus Cam" factor will expose them.

Well then.... I disagree with ur UF assessment, Weis is an excellent OC, and as long as the position coaches keeps their charges in line they will be fine. However your point of it not being his staff is good so I give it a B-/C+

You think Kragthorpe is a better OC hire than Weis
That is some homer shite right there

I dont think that Weis is as good a hire as some of you believe. That being said, I'm not sold on Krag either... just that I'm terribly glad that Crowten is gone.

did I say that? No, I did not.
LSU hired one coach.
FL hired an entire new staff. It was an overall grade and the fact that Weis has an ego and should have been the one to pick his own staff is why I ranked them lower, not because of his coaching abilities. We all know those are great, but time will tell about the chemistry with those around him.
Internal matters can dissolve even the best of teams overtime.

Croom is apparently interviewing for the Bama WR coach position, so I think it's still open...
