Who is the most under rated SEC coach ever?

For me it’s Steve Spurrier. I get that he is still highly regarded, but he owned the sec in the 90s for the most part. The main knock on him was a lack of national titles.
I feel he gets over shadowed by Meyer and Saban, and rightfully so maybe, but he was a big game changer when it comes to offense

Houston Nutt at Arkansas

Spurrier underrated? He WAS the SEC in the 90s. He’s just overshadowed now by Saban’s ridiculous legacy.
Personally, I’d say Pat Dye and yes I’m biased. The man took a dumpster fire to the SEC team of the 80s.

What James Franklin did at Vanderbilt hadn't been done in what, 40 years?

For a long time I would have said Mullen when he was at MSU, but now I think he’s overrated. It seems like naming overrated coaches might be easier.

I think Houston Nutt might be the best one I can think of. If he only could have recruited better.

As someone who grew up on 90s SEC football, Spurrier is in my mind solidified as one of the all timers in this conference.
Also the run Fulmer had from 93-04 was elite. Same # of national titles as Spurrier

Gene Stallings. 70-16-1 record in seven seasons. Averaged ten wins a year in an era when there were only eleven regular season games. Had Alabama on a 28 game unbeaten streak from the 1991 season over into the 1993 season.
Stallings won an SEC title and won one national title. Alabama not only beat, but annihilated in the 1993 Sugar Bowl what people were calling the greatest dynasty ever in the Miami Hurricanes. He returned Alabama to the top of college football for the first time since the Bryant years.

Nick Saban. He's that good.

He never won anything of consequence, as defined by this board.

Spurrier under achieved really, based on his run he should have had 3-5 nattie's.

Not to mention the one he won required his team be given a second chance against the team who beat him in the final regular season game.

Going old school, Johnny Vaught.

Nutt gave the game away against LSU. Jones and Mcfadden were unstoppable and eating us alive till 4th quarter. Then he got cute and started passing the ball. Big mistake. This allowed LSU to win the game. I kept saying, why is he doing this? Does anyone else remember that game?

Charlie Mac. Always in the Bears shadow.

I don’t consider Vaught underrated at all. Ole Miss was a dominant program under Vaught in the late ‘50s and early ‘60s.

I thought Pinkel did surprisingly well at Missouri after they joined the SEC or at least Missouri did a lot better than I expected they would those first couple of years.
