re: Who is the best Offensive Coordinator in the SEC?

Yeah there is a difference between OCs who bring their systems separate from the HC's philosophies, and OCs who are merely extensions of the HCs and are just Captains driving the system their HCs implement....

In that regard, I would place Malzahn and Spurrier towards the top. because they both really have the first and final say in how and what their team's offenses do, and because of the successes they have had with their philosophies....
