re: Who is SEC coach of the year? Can't imagine anyone other than Stoops with EO or JP second

Stoops or Mullen.
Saban is obviously the best in the league but you’ve got to expect Bama to be dominant at this point. Stoops and Mullen have done a great job. I also think O should get serious consideration.
At this point I’d say Mullen narrowly edges Stoops and O. He’s taken a really shitty team a long way this season. They’ve improved tremendously as the season has progressed and that’s a sign of a good coach.
Stoops would have won if he hadn’t shot the bed against UT.
Hats off to O though. He’s surprised me. If he can get a real OC and a good recruiting class in this year they’re going to be formidable.
