Nutt has often been criticized for his perceived deficiencies as a recruiter,
Not so much these past two years.

I wouldn't g as far as to say Fulmer 10th. The guy did win 4 SEC east titles. What did Brooks and Johnson do?

The better question to look at is where did they do it?

Good point, but Brooks had some teams that were in pretty good shape to end Tennessee's streak and still couldn't do it. Johnson had one winning season and fell right back to 2-10 this year. I don't know, eveyone has an opinion, but I would bump him up to 8...it's all i was saying.

Urban Meyer
Tenure in SEC- 5 years
Overall W-L 57-10

Bowl W-L 4-1

IMO it's very tough to rank either ahead of one another, but it's up for debate.

Very true. It depends on which is more impressive to you. 2 MNCs in 3 years at 1 school, or 2 MNCs at 2 different schools.

I think that it's a good debate. Although it could go back and forth and turn into a piss fight but great way to break it out into a very debatable subject.

agree the only reason I would give Saban the nod other than my obvious personal bias is I think the state of Fla has such obvious recruiting benefits over any other state in the sec. 3 major univ in the state all get there share and several schools cherry pick and there is still talent to go around. How Fla sucked in football for as long as they did is a mystery because I dont think it will ever slow down again.

IMO both are very important, but personally I think it's tougher to win 2 in 3 years at the same school rather than 1 each at 2 elite schools with tradition. People will say, well Saban rebuilt Bama, but who didn't expect Saban to rebuild Bama? He's an elite coach at a historical powerhouse. The school has the facilities and the fan base to sell itself, then you add in Saban and they're going to get elite talent to win games.
When you win 2 in 3 years, you play with the talent on your current roster typically. Although, Meyer won it with new faces at almost every position. When you win 1 at 2 different schools, you typically get to build up the talent at each school, no matter how long it may take.
This is JMO, and both coaches are excellent. Like I previously stated, it's very tough to put one ahead of the other.

Im not a Miles basher.. Im an LSU fan that pulls for my team no matter what.. But unless you're using body of work, Nutt should go ahead of Miles. He's beat him 3 years in a row with two different teams.

What the hell else would you use besides body of work?

How's it that recruiting a state with 2 other elite schools easier than recruiting against 1 other? I don't think it's easier when most of the top talent has offers from the 3 major universities and some have been lifelong fans of one school or another. Plus, you totally dismiss Bama's tradition of excellence on the football field. You don't think adding Saban to a traditional powerhouse was going to make recruiting matters easier? Saban can cherry pick recruits nationally as well. Look at Ingram, and there are numerous others. I just think that argument in terms of recruiting advantage for Florida is not strong enough to determine a subject like this. Especially when Bama gets elite athletes as well, and it isn't as hard for them as you think.
