Like Bryant, Dooley, Fulmer, Spurrier?
Three of those were good southern coaches. I was thinking Meyer, Saban, Miles.
It's not that we don't have some good coaches down south, but clearly the cream of the crop comes from the north. Without those guys the SEC would still be a couple of good teams and a bunch of 1970's style LSU teams.

I do thnk there was a trend in the 70's and 80's and even into the early 90's, to hire Bear Boys or Bear clones. The Pat Dye's, Danny Ford's, Curley, Stallings, Duboses' and on and on who with the thick aw shucks mumbling Southern drawls.
And I agree, only when schools realized they didn't have to resort to that coockie cutter model did the SEC truly emerge and become the undeniable best football conference in America.
