re: Which of these past SEC coaches were mediocre?

It was a different time back then. Shug Jordan, Bear Bryant, Vince Dooley, Jo Paterno, and other's, that many consider great coaches, or at least great within their own programs, had stretches during their LONG tenures that they probably wouldn't have survived under today's scrutiny, and where people would come out of the wood work, from their hourly wage jobs...people who's entire entire existance less than medocre...to call these men "mediocre".
