re: Brian Kelly is the 2nd best coach in the SEC right now

If I were an AD looking to hire a head coach right now and could get anyone in the SEC.

I'd go:

1. Saban
2. Smart
3. Kelly
4. Heupel
5. Kiffin

Saban is too old to be a new hire. Plus he has been regularly "outcoached" and relied on purely out-paying for recruits and he is slowly losing that now. The days of hurting one team's QB in the title game or playing one overrated team to win it all are over for him and its showing.
