Natties and SEC titles. Kinda weird that had to be simplified...


Okay.. so I guess winning the SEC East Division crown doesn't suffice..

Just trying to understand what your threshold of "won anything" is

Bobby Ross coached Georgia Tech from 1987-1991 and only finished one season ranked: 1990, when he went 11-0-1, finished #2, and won a share of the national championship

Uh, yeah? That should go without saying. There's a reason Big 6 programs don't celebrate division titles.
Even Mullen knew that...

However, Bobby Ross finished ranked at Maryland three times before getting hired at Georgia Tech. Chizik was a head coach for six seasons (two at Iowa State and four at Auburn) and finished ranked but once: 2010.

Which further proves that Cam is the GOAT SEC QB.

You won't get an argument from here. There are others such as Tebow who had far better overall careers, but I don't think there is a season any SEC QB has had quite like Cam Newton's from 2010.

Who had a good career in the NFL on defense besides Fairley?
So performance in NFL dictates how good they were in college?

2010 had great college players on the team. One of the worst was Neiko Thorpe, yet he had a long career in the NFL, explain that shite

Actually Koreandawg I think it is very common to have a coach “believed in” when they are a new hire, or have a period of success at any major school. Then, when there are struggles like two years of poor performance, or one or zero wins in-conference, the coach needs to be replaced. This is not that big of a deal.

Again - was just trying to find your threshold of what you meant by "won anything "

And to circle around to my original point, Florida has had 11 football coaches in the same time span in which Auburn has had 8... which I imagine is pretty average for most SEC program since 1976

Neiko Thorpe appeared in 88 career NFL regular season games, and 3 playoff games LINK


He also just got hired by the Seattle Seahawks as an assistant coach LINK

Auburn belongs to the street.

Tuberville wasn’t a great coach. He benefited from Alabama being an absolute train wreck. See his coaching stints afterwards for evidence.

Best coach was probably Malzahn. He could recruit for shite but he had creative offenses that were hard to stop. If he could recruit at even a mediocre level he would still be there as he had the best record against Saban.
