Coaching in the SEC...

Unbelievable the coaching talent already in the SEC:
SABAN with 3 National titles & 3 SEC titles
Miles with 1 National & played in another, plus 2 SEC titles
Spurrier with 1 National and numerous SEC
Richt with 2 SEC titles and best winning % in UGA history
BOOM has UF playing at high level again and ranked top 5.
Sumlin & Freeze are remarkable, Franklin has made Vandy relevant (wow!), and even MSU wins under Mullens.
And even the "good uns" aren't "good enough": Fulmer & Chizik win National Titles but are still run off, Richt stays on the hot seat, places like Arky & Ole Miss expect to contend and become coaching carousals.
So my question is this:
Why would one of the great coaches in other conferences, who can win comfortably, make good money, and not have the pressure of competing against this kind of talent choose to coach at any of the schools looking?
Seems like each of these schools will probably have to find an "up and comer" like Freeze or Sumlin.

You described Ole Miss to a tee.

lol....obviously the Arky job has some opportunities to become aroused.
Guess I described both schools appropriately
This is what I was going for:
carrousel: (noun) a merry-go-round

Pretty strong indications that USC Trojans about to be in the market for a HC also.
Tough competition looking for a coach this year.

I never would have guessed this.
Thanks for clarifying.

According to whom? A vocal minority had him on the hot seat.
As long as games are selling out and you are beating your rivals, and getting 10 win seasons, Richt isn't getting fired.
We aren't batshit fricking crazy fans like yall have in the west.

Urban Meyer agrees with you. He got the hell out while the getting was good.
