How Would You Rank The SEC Coaches?

Yesterday I posted a link to Finebaum Ranks the SEC Coaches. Every time I see one of these lists, my initial impression is "No, that's not right it should be like this...". I found that the only way I could remove my bias toward the coaches was to take Saban out of the mix and reword the question as, "If Saban quit (died, moved on, etc.) right after national signing day and you could choose any coach in the SEC to replace him, in what order would you choose?"

Here is the order I would go:

1. Meyer - The #1 slot was the toughest for me to select, great recruiter and coach.
2. Richt - Great recruiter, above average coach.
3. Spurrier - If he were a little younger, best game day coach in the league, average recruiter.
4. Petrino - Fiery coach, hated by those around him.
5. Nutt - At AR he did more with less; he will have more talent this year.
6. Tubberville - Let's just say, I wasn't disappointed when he didn't leave Auburn.
7. Miles - Ok, he won a national championship, but I am not completely sold on him.
8. Fulmer - Great recruiter, average coach, needs good assistants.
9. Croom - He has done better than I thought he would; he could go higher.
10. Brooks - Kentucky looked like a real team this year.
11. Johnson - Who knows? He coaches at Vandy...

I would love to see how you rank them. Click here to enter your list.

Now that I am done, I would put Saban at the top of the list - best recruiter in the league and above average coach. That's a combo that will win you championships!

Roll Tide!
