Kelly, Smart or Heupel?
3 coach race at this point I’d think.
Kelly - amazing job with all the roster turnover
Heupel - similar to Kelly but a year later, kinda failed in biggest game
Smart - lost an NFL roster full of defensive players, another handful to the portal, didn’t go get portal guys just coached up those he had.

I think you’d have to throw Kiffin’s name in there too if the Rebs win this Saturday.

If Tennessee doesn't lose another game down the stretch, Heupel should be.

Kelly and Heupel both deserve it

Think it’s either Heupel or Kelly. Kirby has a team full of 5*’s that LSU and UT don’t have. UGA was picked to win the East. UT was picked #7 sec in pre season and LSU was like #8 or 9 I think.

Kelly.
Heupel is a good coach but what Kelly walked into and what he has done is nothing short of a spectacular coaching job.

I'm really trying to not be a homer and find an argument for Heupel over Kelly, but I can't find one.

Kelly

As of right now, I'd go with
1. Heupel
2. Kelly
3. Smart
Tough competition between those 3, however.

They rarely give this kind of award to a coach that was great and continues to be great like Smart.
It tends to go to coaches who's teams were not good in prior years and then do well.
For example, Kirby won it in 2017 even though Bama won the title. He did win it in 2021 too... because he got UGA over the national title hump. But unless they get worse before having another great season or there's no coach who brought a team up significantly, he'll be passed over.
Saban probably should have 10 of these. He only has 5 (1 from LSU).

Kelly, Kirby and Heupel are literally toss-ups in my mind.
I'm no fan of the CTY award due to giving it to a newcomer or someone who leads a comeback ... but you could make a case for Saban deserving it last year and 2020 but Saban definitely doesn't deserve it this year.

They can always have co-winners (like in 2012).

It won't be Heupel. SEC office is in Alabama and they hate Tennessee. Likewise, it probably won't be Kelly for the same reason. So probably Smart.
Remember, these are the same people who picked Bo Nix as SEC freshman of the year over Stingly who won every other national award.

1. Heupel
2. Kelly
3. Kiffin
Both Heupel and Kelly took over dumpster fires...more so with Heupel, imo.
Both have their teams overachieving and playing well
Kiffin had to scoop up a bunch of 'new' dudes in the portal and coach them up to come together as a team.

Lol @ all these folk using Kirby's five star recruits to argue against him, like getting five star recruits to come to the University isn't part of the coaching equation.
I get it, though. Both Heupel and Kelly walked into less than ideal situations, and are making chicken salad out of chicken shite.
I'd vote for Kelly, gun to head, but Heupel is a close second.
And, for the love of God, stop acting like recruiting is a black mark against folk for COTY, else you'll wind up with a Mullen. But, don't over inflate it, or you'll wind up with a Jimbo.
