Saban was an established coach with an established track record. Bama didn't throw $4 mill at him right off the bat because he was unknown.

Malzahn, however, was still running that "high school offense that would never succeed in the SEC".

Of the two and considering the respective prices paid for each, I would rate Malzahn's as "best".

The clear, unbiased answer, on August 8th 2011, has got to be Urban Meyer.

Can't be Saban at LSU. He won 1 title, then left them high and dry.

Can't be Saban at Bama. 1 title does not trump 2.

Can't be Miles at LSU. See above.

If we're talking SEC football, it's got to be Urban.

Definitely Chizek. NC in two short years and didn't cost the school $4 mill.

Urban. 2 NCs are hard to come by, especially in that short period of time.

Urban won 2 titles, his 1st coming in just his 2nd year. Until Chizik wins 2, he's not the BEST hire.

In fact, the argument could be made Cam Newton was a better hire than Chizik. Only cost $180,000.

Urban.

The SEC didn't have a chance against the Big Ten until '06.

I heard Tebow cost the Gators $250,000.
