Florida, not my team, and I'm not trying to trash talk, but Saban disciples don't usually do much in their first seasons. Kirby Smart damn near lost to Nichols State as a 45 point favorite.

Also Anthony Richardson is brittle. Best case scenario is that he misses some games and it gives Coach Napier a chance to get next year's quarterback ready, whoever that is.

Year 2 usually is piss or get off the pot in the SEC. Every SEC coach of the last 20 years who's won a conference title started kicking arse in year 2.

Don't have the exact data, but the number of SEC coaches to win the conference championship in their second season in the last 20 years is pretty nutty.

I agree with you, but this is for another thread.

I want to know about your team.

Biggest false news on the rant. This kid is 6'4" 240 lbs. He had a hamstring injury coming into last year that he aggravated, but he is not brittle. Beginning next Saturday, teams will learn this the hard way.

There are five such coaches: Nick Saban in 2001, Mark Richt in 2002, Urban Meyer in 2006, Gene Chizik in 2010, and Kirby Smart in 2016.

Lane Kiffin and Leach have already missed their chance. Stoops and Pittman too.

Heuphel and Beamer would have to win it this season, which ain't happening. Same for Harsin. Kelly and Napier are on deck next season.
