Muschamp should clearly have won coach of the year. No one expected Florida to win more than 8 games this year, and he did it without the great savior Johnny Universe. How is it that everyone says that Chizik was a dumbass that only won because of Cam Newton, (a national title albeit), but Sumlin is coach of the year with a player who had even better numbers than Cam?

Muschamp took a trainwreck over and in 2 years had them a fumble away from playing in a National Championship, or at least an SEC championship.(Oh and I am pretty sure that they he beat the great Sumlin head to head.)

IMO Sumlin should have won....everybody was saying that Mizzou and TAMU would get mauled as SEC rookies, and while Mizzou struggled, TAMU rose to one of the top teams in the conference. I doubt anyone was predicting that before the season started....

UF was considered a darkhorse contender for the East: they had what was thought to be a top SEC defense, but with questions on the offensive side. But they had the talent....it was mostly a question on the coaching staff developing that talent and getting it all on the same page on the field in games...

IMO, both UF and TAMU had essentially the same seasons this year....but UF was ranked top 25 pre-season, and TAMU wasn't. Based on what both programs had coming into the season, IMO the Aggies have done more and surprised more...

Chizik was a dumbass....he had little to do with Newton and AU winning the '10 NC. Sumlin is the mastermind behind TAMU's resurgence, and no one knows who his OC is (a former Texas Tech wunderkind QB, isn't he?). Chizik's former OC is now a head coach. It's all pretty obvious to me....
