Which of these past SEC coaches were mediocre?

dooley

They should have fired Vince in his sixth year. The program was trending downward, 5-5-1? Jesus Christ Georgia was horrible.

Robert Neyland and Bryant shoul not have been typed. i was suprised at how mediocre Dooley's record was. I remember him being better.

A lot of SEC coaches through the years would seem to fit the definitions of mediocre (or non elite) that are used by some.

Why is it that Miles defenders NEVER EVER talk about actual gameplay, coaching decisions, player development, etc. and ALWAYS go to the overall record?

Because you can't defend Miles based on the way the team actually plays on the field. You can only do it by pointing at the record.

Well guess what. You can't win them all, and, over the last 3 years, Miles hasn't been winning very many that weren't gimmes. Coaches can't always be held responsible for whether their team wins or loses a particular game. We all know that the Auburn game itself is not a damning indictment of Miles and wouldn't have been a shining endorsement of him had we won. It's the cumulative way the team performs. It's the process.

Is Coach Miles a great coach, and is he worth the very large sums of money we pay him? Is he as good as Bear Bryant was?

Those questions can't be answered just by comparing overall records. That's a foolish and shallow way of answering the question. That's how we are in the "huge buyout" mess we are in today.
