SEC Coaches Talk Anonymously About Conference Foes for 2019
I know... another off-season thread. Almost to the season though
Here are some of the interesting/funny ones:
Missouri
"Barry Odom is the secret weapon on defense. He gets a group of OK players and just a few legit SEC guys and then they're always in good position. They fit gaps really well, they're always where they're supposed to be. They're not an easy defense to wear down. Jordan Elliott, the kid from Texas, could be really special up front. They'll really miss (Terry) Beckner.
Tennessee:
"They just need to get to a bowl this year and beat Vanderbilt and Missouri and the conference teams who aren’t as talented on their rosters. Just show that the plan is working long term." - this is laughable lmao
Mississippi State
"They need to come out and show success throwing the ball. They need to show consistency and build in Year 2 to survive in the West. They've got a high ceiling and a low floor this year."
LSU
"This team could be their best chance to catch Alabama in a long time. You see athleticism and size everywhere. They're big and strong on both lines. They're going to be physical all over."
Kentucky
"Tons of questions. Maybe the team that will look the most different on both sides this season."
"Their secondary is basically starting over."
Georiga
"I think it's fair to say Kirby got Georgia to that Alabama level faster than Nick Saban got Alabama there. They're ready to roll."
Flordia
"They're not nearly what they used to be, but you saw Florida football at times, especially down the stretch. But they're losing a lot this year."
Auburn
"The most talked-about school in the league right now."
Arkansas
"There's a lot of work to do, and it's going to take a while."
"Everyone respects Chad as an offensive mind, but fixing this roster is a huge job."
Alabama
"Maybe the best thing for this year's team was losing that national title game the way they did. They were outplayed, outcoached and got whipped on the lines. Now they're going to reload with the best roster in the league, but Nick Saban has all the motivation he needs."
Ole Miss
"It will be interesting to watch Matt Luke as a head coach. He's hired two former head coaches to radically change their schemes on both sides of the ball. He's putting a lot on those two, and that could come back to bite him."
South Carolina
"You've got one of the most experienced quarterbacks in the league with Jake Bentley and a good core on the offensive line. They've got to take advantage of that. What hurts them is losing Deebo (Samuel) and not having a run game. There's no one on their roster at wideout like Deebo. (Quarterbacks coach) Dan Werner is a good fit for Bentley, he's really changed their passing game, and I think he gets what Will wants to do there. They just need better running backs."
Texas A&M
"If they can improve this year as much as they did last year on defense this is going to be a really dangerous team."
Vanderbilt
"The problem for Vanderbilt as a program is that they're good but never great, and the division keeps getting better."

Is that Auburn quote from Gus? How on earth are they the most talked about team?

I feel like we hear this every single year.

I. Saban had coached for years before he ever got to LSU. Jeez people

I don't necessarily agree with the quote, but I'm sure people here will blame UGA fans for elevating our status instead of blaming the anonymous SEC coach that actually said it.

I think this is one of the truest statements I have ever read about Barry Odom... we are consistently low in recruiting yet he turned our horrid deference from a few years back into a defensible (pun-intended) group. MU needs a coach like that for us to succeed.

These last two Georgia teams would have whipped 2009 Alabama. Probably more to do with the changing college football landscape though.

I'm not sure about that, 2009 alabama was very very good.
Also I'll point out the quote in question from the coach never even mentioned national titles. It mentioned "that level", which I interpreted to mean being nationally elite and in the NCG conversation yearly. Kirby got us to the NCG in year 2 while saban did it in 3 at bama. And I feel like I need to point this out for the slow ones on here, no I'm not comparing kirby and saban or saying kirby is better. Simply trying to make some sense of the quote from an anonymous person in the OP.

I don't know about that. Georgia has been could have, should have, would have since 1980.

They should tell the pollsters and bloggers this because Florida is being overrated big time.

You seem to be ate up with something lately so I looked at your last page of posts (20 pages) and found the following:
-6 were on political talk (
), so 14 posts were about sports/sec football -Of those 14, 12 were about UGA. 1 of them was a joke to/about a uga poster.
-So basically of the 14 posts you've recently made about sports, 13 of them are about UGA. Including the last 6 in a row.
A very quick perusal of the 2nd page of your posts shows 18 on the SECR, of which about 15 of them are also about UGA.
You really might have a problem. I feel sorry for your household when UF loses to UGA again this year.

You might want to log off and find a hobby. To think that you care enough to go a look up a random persons previous posts. You're the one with the problem. IDGAF what you or anyone else posts.

Bish you better repent for talking about the 2009 team that way. The only team of the dynasty to go undefeated that also beat probably the single best opposing team Alabama has played during the run by 20.

I'm pretty sure Athlon simply makes these quotes up.
