I may be off base in thinking this but could the SEC in general having so many weak seasons overall be due to AD's having been more quick to fire coaches the past decade?
My thinking is simply that during the 80s through the early 2000s, it always seemed like half the league usually had tourney teams with a few being Top 20 every year. However, they weren't always the same teams.
Of Alabama, LSU, Miss St, Tennessee, Arkansas, Vandy group, at least a couple were Top 20 any given year. Georgia, Auburn, Ole Miss, South Carolina had some really good teams here and there too.
Is it that everyone thinks they'll find lightning in a bottle like Florida with Donovan to the point that now 75% of the league is constantly in rebuilding instead of waiting for the 4-5 year cycle when a couple of great recruits mix in with a solid base of upperclass starters?

Alabama fired their's after 11 years, and he was a terrible coach from the start. He just had a shite-ton of talent that the state has progressively stopped producing since the last couple years of his tenure (2009 was an exception).
