Title says it all. How do you think the SEC coaches did their jobs?

Alabama Crimson Tide - Kalen DeBoer - Under
Arkansas Razorbacks - Sam Pittman - Under
Auburn Tigers - Hugh Freeze - Under
Florida Gators - Billy Napier - Met expectations/Slightly Under
Georgia Bulldogs - Kirby Smart - Slightly Under
Kentucky Wildcats - Mark Stoops - Under
LSU Tigers - Brian Kelly - Slightly Under
Mississippi State Bulldogs - Jeff Lebby - Under
Missouri Tigers - Eli Drinkwitz - Met expectations
Ole Miss Rebels - Lane Kiffin - Met expectations
Oklahoma Sooners - Brent Venables - Under
South Carolina Gamecocks - Shane Beamer - Exceeded
Tennessee Volunteers - Josh Heupel - Met Expectations
Texas A&M Aggies - Mike Elko - Met Expectations
Texas Longhorns - Steve Sarkisian - Slightly Exceeded
Vanderbilt Commodores - Clark Lea - Exceeded

These are my assessments, but just presented as a starting point of conversation. How do you think the coaches performed?

Don't cop out and just rate your own. You have to rank everyone.

You’re still going to the Mayo bowl I can’t see how anything was exceeded.

We were picked to go 4-8 or 5-7 and ended up 9-3. Beamer did more with less, unlike some who did less with more.

Poor MSU. People don’t even know who their HC is.

See, your insecurities continue to manifest in public on this forum. You continue to post that Mayo bowl thing ... even though you know, for a fact, that it's a lie. A bald faced lie for that matter.

But since you've done it several times now, obviously craving attention from we Gamecock fans ... here I am giving you the attention that you're begging-for.

Let's start with, "why the obsession with the Gamecocks, Agaga?" And try to be honest. It's obviously psychological with you because you've repeated it several times now. That indicates a certain pathology.

I know it's a stretch for you, being a dawg fan, and part of the lowest IQ group on the forum.

However, South Carolina was a much improved team. That is usually what wins you the COTY award. When your team makes a huge step forward from one season to the next.

Expound please. Many folks had MIzzou as a playoff team. Had that happened, I would agree. But they had several disappointing losses.

Most predictions I saw had Florida going 4-8 or 5-7, so I'm not sure where you're getting this from. I'd put "Exceeded" for Napier.

Sunbelt Billy was expected to be fired this year and got a vote of confidence from the team and AD. I would say that exceeded expectations.
