SEC Coaches and their friends.

As we know coaches are a fraternity. I started thinking about who are actually friends in the SEC.
Obviously Kirby and Saban are “friends” to a certain extent but Saban is more of a mentor to him.
I think (based on what I’ve heard) that Kirby and Lane are pretty tight and more “friends” than Kirby and Saban.
I wonder about Kirby’s relationship with Sark but assume he respects him anyway.
Just wondering y’all’s thoughts on coach’s relationships with each other.

It would not shock me at all that Lane and Kirby are more than “friends”

they've never been on the same coaching staff before so not sure why they'd be "friends", aside from the fact they're both coaches.

Freeze and Saban. According to Freeze, Nick is putting the golf ball in the cup.

To me it was always clear Kirby had the utmost respect for Nick Saban. I don't know if they were friends so much as a family or mentor type relationship as you point out.
I'd say Kirby and Muschamp have been good friends for decades, including when Muschamp was at South Carolina. I also think he's pretty good friends with Shane Beamer from what I've read. I've also heard he's friends with Kiffin as you mentioned. Smart is also pretty good friends with Mike Bobo, who I don't think he's faced as a head coach, but has faced when Bobo was a coordinator at several other SEC schools. Bobo's now the OC at UGA.
In terms of the reverse, the only coach I think he disliked or was annoyed by was Dan Mullen. I think he's pretty indifferent to most of the SEC coaches.

Saban seemed to be the middleman for all these coaches, I'm not sure if Kirby and Sark have a strong relationship but Sark and Kiffin are straight-up best friends.

Mark Stoops said that he and Drinkwitz were friends. I can believe it. Sometimes folks with different personalities can get along really well.
