Is Hugh Freeze the second best coach in the SEC right now?
Posted by DawginSC on 5/9/24 at 12:28 pm
Kirby Smart is #1 with Saban having retired.
Of all the rest, only one coach has ever beaten Kirby Smart as a head coach... that being Hugh Freeze when he was at Ole Miss in Smart's first season as a head coach.
Lebby, Sark, Deboer, Elko and Venables haven't played Kirby yet so they could be i...

re: SEC Coaches and their friends.

To me it was always clear Kirby had the utmost respect for Nick Saban. I don't know if they were friends so much as a family or mentor type relationship as you point out.
I'd say Kirby and Muschamp have been good friends for decades, including when Muschamp was at South Carolina. I also think h...

[quote]So, yes LSU is bidding by making ONE offer but they will not get in a bidding war (multiple rising offers) in order to get a player and kill the team chemistry. This may be self serving but it is also true and it will be up to every coach to figure out the line not to cross as it pertains to ...

I'm not a huge college baseball guy, but isn't this mostly a poll about how good your midweek (#4 and worse) starters are? Once conference play starts, OOC games are where teams throw their weakest pitchers. It's more a measure of depth than how good the front line pitchers for a team are... right...

My only criticism of Kelly is not really a criticism. Rather it's an observation.
He's a very good coach but he's not elite. He's proven that repeatedly over a long career.
In essence, he's Mark Richt. Both win a ton of games. Neither were elite.
As far as the portal is concerned, the...

UGA is a very different place than LSU.
UGA has had 5 different head coaches since 1964. Two of them have won national titles (3 in total).
LSU has had 10 since 1964. Three of them have won national titles (3 in total).
We're a bit more patient I guess. Largely it's yielded the same resu...
