First off, 63-38, suck it Vols.

Now that's out of the way, before our incredible week, I just once wanted to hear Beamer just be real for once and call it like it is. Do yourselves a favor and watch a coach be brutally honest about their team for once. Everyone wants to sugarcoat everything these days but this 2014 press conference after actually beating Vanderbilt is refreshingly hilarious and honest. I wish coaches these days had the balls to be real like this. There will never be another Steven Orr Spurrier!

Jimbo...take notes

He's almost old enough to run for president. Does he have a Twitter account?

Maybe viewed as an a-hole to you, but if you dig deep, he was always just being truthful

Didn't he punt on 3rd down at Florida once because he was so pissed off at the offense?

The Jim Mora of CFB.


Both coaches refused to sugar coat anything.

We got our arse kicked in the second half. We couldn't do diddly-poo



The best part of the Mora rant is: nobody asked him a question. He walked up to the mike and went straight into his rant.

Everybody only remembers the playoffs rant.

But he had some awesome rants while with the Saints.


And the time he went off on a reporter like a gangster

He was hilarious.

Leach is like that. Personally think Leach is probably the funniest college coach alive. His press conferences are legendary.

That guy will start with an opposing defense, and end on how Bigfoot might be alive and how aliens built pyramids in Cydonia on Mars.

And the strange thing is -- whatever he's talking about is actually pretty interesting. I know he loves to read a ton. Having Leach is another reason that the SEC is so fantastic. Nowhere else is there the collection of personalities. All the best ones are consolidated in the SEC.

I hated Spurrier so much during that UF run in the 90s but later grew to like his wit.
