Top 5 overall coaches in SEC football coaches going into next season ?

My crack at top half of the league in coaches. I only did a top 7

I think 1 and 2 are clear in my personal preference, but I could flip 3 thru 7.

1. Kirby - I like Lane as a game day coach better but you can’t top the recruiting, game day, development combo of Kirby and the results.

2. Lane - offensive savant genius level. Developed a hell of a lot as a program builder, and the portal king. I’ve always been incredibly impressed by him as a coach. We’ve now got a Sean Payton, Nick Saban type of advantage on game day. That’s how I would feel as a fan.

3. Clark Lea - maybe too high but amazing what he’s done at Vandy. Let’s see it without Pavia though.

4. Heuppel - some of the shine has dulled, but not sure why. He’s done an amazing job. Assume most would rate him lower.

5. Sark - Has had a ton of talent, so hard to tell how good he is. He definitely has improved the program, coinciding with the NIL era.

6. Elko - Maybe too soon, but he’s done what Jimbo should have.

7. Deboer- The dude had a tough task and he’s done a good job by any measure.
