With so many strong staffs it is hard to say who has the best. Teams like Alabama, LSU, and A&M all have very strong staffs, but we can't forget about UGA, Ole Miss,and State. Also, we have to discuss which team has the worst group of assistants. Give me your thoughts.

I would put Vandy last. I thought Mason made a ton of sense, but I'm not sure that guy could close a Dairy Queen without racking up $85,000 in debt, and it burning to the ground. For that reason, I think they are last.

This has all the makings of the Texag crew cumming all over another civil thread with Kevin Steele jokes. Then we'll laugh at how they pay Sumlin 5 million for a declining record, and then Chavis joins the discussion, followed by a good hearty laugh over how many games he actually cost LSU the past two seasons.


But to answer your question, I have to think Vandy's is the worst. Alabama's staff is fantastic, and Arkansas' is the most underrated. LSU has some of best position coaches you can find (Raymond, Ed O, Tony Ball, Frank Wilson), but I personally am waiting for Cam Cameron to earn his fat paycheck without Mett and the top 3 offensive rookies in the NFL

Your groupings and some of your choices are odd.

Bama. LSU. UGA. those three seem to have the most consistent good staffs, as far as on field performance and recruiting.


A&M/AU/Ole Miss/MSU have looked strong some years and pitiful in others.

Arkansas is trending nicely and probably belong in that second tier.

Vandy is the worst. It's really the only choice.


ETA: I would move UGA clearly below Bama/LSU, but above the others.

There are no straight up dogs. none.

The SEC's worst, whoever it may be, is still pretty good.

The best coaching staffs are in the non revenue sports. I know uf has a world class swim staff, our 2012 Olympic coach, an 88 gold medalist, and some wanker who represented UK (the country and sec school oddly enough) Bama's swim coach was a multi year world record holder and even ran the US Olympic committee for a while. I'm sure arky or lsu could chime in on some t&f staff as well.
I know this wasn't what you were looking for, but it is the truth on best coaching staffs in the sec.

I wouldn't trade ours for any staff, not including Bama. I think Robb Smith is going to price himself to be one of the best DCs in the country in the next 2-3 years. Jury is obviously out on Enos. Very happy with Bielema. He's still young (relatively) and has many years to perfect his coaching - he admitted that he took too much of a cookie cutter approach the first year, and it showed with our record. Instead of continuing the same approach he hired a new DC and shaped the defense into one of the best in the country, lending to the improvement in not just the record, but competing in every game. that to me shows maturity and the willingness to change. I honestly think he's going to be in the tier 1 of coaches within 5-10 years

I'm amazed that this hasn't turned into another Chavis/Steele circle-jerk yet. I'll jump in before that shitstorm.

It's hard to argue that, as of now, Vandy doesn't have the worst staff in the SEC. Florida is still unproven, though I think Mac will turn into a good hire.

Bama ranks #1, clearly. It will be interesting to see if Muschamp at Auburn can return to his roots as a DC after failing as a HC. If so, that's a damn good staff.

For my Ags... I'm in the wait and see camp. This season will be a pretty good indicator about Sumlin's ability to be a HC at a major institution.
