re: Most Overrated SEC coaching legend

"People think I'm the greatest damn coach in the world," said the great Bear Bryant, "but Neyland taught me everything I know."

Kinda crazy when you realize that while Bear said that in his heyday, Knute Rockne also said the exact same thing when he was the one everyone thought of as the best (albeit with less colorful language ).

In all honesty, Neyland is actually one of the more underrated coaches. He's been forgotten by many non-history buffs and non-SEC fans because he didn't coach in the television Era of football.
