Of all the coaches we have had over the years with personality and swagger, right now he is the only one.

I put him on Spurrier level of interest.

All the rest seem vanilla. Or maybe I am missing one (maybe Beamer? Can’t think of any others).

Kirby and Eli have some personality i suppose, but yeah, you're kind of right.

Spurrier backed it up.

Lane forgets to plug in the popcorn machine.

Maybe someday Lane can fill them shoes, but right now he's like:

Im fine with the lack of "swagger"

Does anyone really want a Deion Sanders or Sherrone Moore in the conference?

Hugh had swag at Ole Miss. I'm not sure that guy at Auburn was the same person.

Sure, I'd love to see either of them at Auburn or Tennessee.

The only clown.

Yeah, a comedian is exactly what these teams need.

Can't wait to see who signs the clown to a 10 year $150M deal that only lasts 4 years. Will they ever learn?

Hope it's Florida.

Lane would be smart to stay with Oxford, but probably won't.

Tubs had swag at Ole Miss also.

Tubs carried it to AU.

Freeze didn’t.

Both had something that gave Alabama fits.

Lane is 50, at this point Spurrier had 3 SEC Championships & was on his way to a 3rd in a row, before winning the natty the next year (1996)

He's come a long way, but he's got a long way to go if wants to be in OBC territory

You are vastly overestimating Bama’s regard of Freeze. Tubs, yes. No one ever cared about Freeze, even after those two wins. He was just a weird anomaly: no more, no less.

We had Lane, Saban, Bebe and Mike Leach at one time not too long ago. But you are right

His modus operandi was finished when the game changed.

Jimbo could be a character sometimes, but he sucked. I'll stick with big brained Elko quietly doing everything right.

What others have we truly had outside of Spurrier that would actually trash talk?

Miles was quirky, Ed had the Cajun stuff going on, Leach was unique but I really think you're misremembering. I don't recall having a whole lot of characters all at once.
