Interesting aside...
Got to meet my daughter's new Sunday School teacher a couple weeks ago and she says the kids can address her as "Miss [first name]" or "Mrs. [last name]". She explains that she is originally from somewhere in Michigan (I forget where) and this was common. As we live in Oregon (but I'm originally from south Louisiana) I was somewhat amused and asked her about it. First time I had ever heard of that phenomenon outside of the South or Appalachia (Saban and his wife are from West Virginia). I told her that even though I'm now in my 40s I still think of my longtime friend's mothers as "Miss [first name]".
So apparently there are a few Yankees who also engage in this practice.
I lived in upstate Michigan (I'm guessing that's where she was from because it's as close to redneck/Southern as the state gets) and made friends with a local grandma who ran a coffee shop. She told me to call her Karen. I always thought of her as Miss Karen but never actually used that because I wasn't sure how someone from up north would react. I guess I should have tried after all.

You don't have to call them coach
Unless you're a kid playing for a coach, there is no title or sign of respect needed. This simply isn't a thing.

It'd actually pretty common here on -- perhaps because people have time to think about it -- for posters to call their own program's coach Coach whatever (or use the initial, i.e. CEO), and just refer to other programs' coaches by their first/last/nickname. I started noticing that years ago.
CEO or CGM, etc. makes sense for identification purposes. Also, because you don't have to write out Orgeron or Malzahn

I'm 71 years old and was born and raised in the South. We were always taught to respect people and their positions in life. "Coach" is an honorable occupation and has always had that description used with the last name of the individual everywhere I've been.
You're either just a kid, were never taught any better, or are not from the South.

Bama is running out of stories to keep any interest in college football. They've broken the sport.
