I wouldn't necessarily call Miles classy, but he's certainly not unclassy. Seems like a nice guy, just quirky in a way that doesn't exude what we may typically think of as class. I like him.

Wayyy before my time - but was Robert Neyland a classy coach?

yeah, Les might not be the smartest guy in the whole world, but that dude is all class.

Cares about his family, always makes sure to spend time with all of them every day of the week (except the daughter at college obvi).

He also respects and defends his players like family.

No one who knows or has met Les has ever had anything bad to say about him as a man.

For me, Gene Stallings.

I love Coach Bryant and respect him as a man who generally has class, but I don't think I would name him as a person who has the most class. That youtube video where he berates that female interviewer at halftime makes me cringe.
(I suspect this won't be a popular comment, but it's honest. I still would call him a man with class, just not among the most.)

I know he's a punching bag on here, but I think Mark Richt is extremely classy.

Doesn't quite count as SEC, but Frank Broyles is as classy of a man as they come. Ditto for Vince Dooley and Shug Jordan, too, from what I've heard.

Frank Broyles definitely makes the list, IMO.

I had lunch with him and his family day after Thanksgiving last year -- just a fantastic gentleman and representative for our university and state. Even at 89, he's still sharp as a tack when it comes to football and football history.

I have a customer right now who's insured is claiming a bunch of Bama autographs at very high dollar amounts. Several of those are Curry and perkins autographs. I asked the bama fan in my office what he would pay for those. His reply was, "I wouldnt wipe my arse with em'"
