I'm not saying he doesn't articulate his point, I'm just saying he's almost always wrong. Some examples
After game one of the Spurs v Rockets he said Pop was done, the Spurs are slow and have never adapted. They then won the series is six games.
He speculated in mid-2016 that Kevin Durant made the Warriors worse.
He's argued that he'd rather suffer from multiple concussions than tear his ACL. (that was like 2 months ago)
These are just a few examples from the 5-10 minutes of Colin I hear in the mornings.

Outside of Saban the head coaching talent is down at just about every school. SEC basketball has gotten better head coaching wise.

Hes only been saying it for a decade. One day hell be right.

I have come to the same conclusion. The Coaches are absolutely laughable other than Darth Of Tuscaloosa, and the ACC and Big 10 are on near equal footing because of this. The SEC has FAR superior football culture and better recruiting but we are slipping. We need a big year as a conference and we need somebody besides Alabama to rise to the top. Not likely to happen.

What is the problem which has caused SEC coaching talent to diminish? The SEC has the athletes and the facilities and we throw money and make it rain even in the small institutions.
I blame Tennessee and aTm. These are 2 programs that should be BIG boys, and they're competing with much smaller and poorer schools for talent, and settling for 8 wins and mediocre bowls every year.
In defense of the SEC in the SEC vs Big10 Coach debate, who tf coaches Indiana, Purdue and the lower half Big10 programs? You can't just compare the top coaches, you gotta look all the way up and down the list

Just for the record, 2 seasons ago I suck shamed the majority of sec coaches- excluding saban- for being mediocre and got beaten and battered with comments and downvotes galore. Now seems that everyone has come around to that same thought. In a nutshell, like Saban I'm usually right so people should listen but pettiness and jackassery abound.

I respect yours as well, and arguing is fun too.

Relative to say, 10 years ago, he's right. SEC's one of the stronger conferences but it's deeper now top to bottom as opposed to how top heavy it was 10 years ago.

It reminds me of the 80's when good old boys ran the conference. It's become too insular, too regional. Even Fat Bert is a redneck.
We are being outflanked by more competent tacticians.

Here's the point I can't argue. The SEC coaching tree has become too inbred, with everybody trying to get Saban DNA in their own system

He's a prick but he may finally be right after ten yrs of predicting this.

These guys need something to evoke a reaction, and their current case is that other conferences have better coaching. If the SEC comes out week one and still beats FSU, Michigan, UCLA, etc... then that ends their argument very quickly.
At the end of the day, SEC has still won 7 of the last 10 Titles, and participated in the Championship game all but one year.
Most media types are all Midwest/Northern guys and cling to the past when Northern teams were dominant. Regardless of what coaches they have, College Football is still predicated on Recruiting and location, and SEC schools will always be in the best 'Location"

He also claimed that Gus Malzahn would be the end of Nick Saban's run at Alabama.
He's a chode.

The problem with SEC Schools is that they have spent their money on Facilities lately, thinking it would make up for coaching deficiencies. 110K at a game can not make the Sumlin's and Miles of the world coach better.

Coaching is subpar - talent is not.
Outside of Bama, the SEC is pretty mediocre right now generally due to the Saban effect. Relative to the Big 10 I would say SEC is second best in football.
