I just wish I could have seen a full season with Will Grier at the helm, that was an exciting team to watch with him.

Too bad Jim McElwain can't juggle a toothbrush.

Mcelwain is a terrible recruiter. I guess I'd go with Mullen but it's like asking who's the smartest kid in special ed. Everyone, outside of Saban, in the SEC is very, very underwhelming.

McElwain was hired because of his Offensive background and his work with QBs. His Offense at UF has been a total failure and his Defense needs to be credited to Muschamp.

This thread will eventually evolve into a discussion of Mullen. One side will argue that what he has done at Mississippi State is amazing, the other will point to his record vs top 25 and say he is overrated.

Gus is the only HC outside Saban with an SEC title that is currently in the league so by default its him. 2 title appearances and 2 SEC Championships is hard to come by these days.

What Mullen has done to keep them bowl eligible so often and out of last place puts him pretty high on my list.

Jim McElwain has made chicken salad out of chicken shite ever since he got to Gainesville, but now that it is mostly his players we will get to see how good he actually is.

Malzahn is the only other active coach in the Sec right now that has actually won the SECCG. You have to respect that, right?

Just stop already! Yellow teeth might not make it past this year and does it really matter who is next best? Saban is so far in front it really doesn't matter.

But, if you're putting a gun to my head, Mullen. I would have loved him at LSU.

IMO there will be jobs opened up after this season. Auburn, A&M and Florida could very well be looking for coaches with USCe not far behind with Muschamp, although he will have a long leash.

Ask the question this way: If you needed a coach and had to hire an SEC Coach not named Saban, who do you hire?

Dan Mullen is the second best coach in the SEC and the country. We are playing the long game. Gotta slowly build your assets. 3-4 years we will be in the top 5 regularly and when Saban retires there will be no one that can keep up with The Dan Mullen aka The Navigator, Aka The master commander of football scientology aka Cousin Eddie. Guys the shitter is full

Mullen and Malzahn do more with less than any coach the conference. It's easier to win at Bama, Florida, Georgia, LSU.
