quote:

1. Kalen DeBoer and Nate Oats (Alabama)
2. Josh Heupel and Rick Barnes (Tennessee)
3. Todd Golden and Jon Sumrall (Florida)
4. Steve Sarkisian and Sean Miller (Texas)
5. Mike Elko and Bucky McMillan (Texas A&M)

Honorable mention – Lane Kiffin and Will Wade (LSU)
I know, I know. It hasn’t happened yet, but in a week when that buyout drops from $5 million to $3 million, that will probably change. Kiffin and Wade will be the biggest coaching heels paired together since Jimbo Fisher hired Bobby Petrino and DJ Durkin as his coordinators. Kiffin and Wade will both win at LSU. Just wait.


Thoughts? With Wade returning (it's definitely happening) to LSU, I would have Kiffin and Wade around the 4 mark right off the bat with the potential to move up. Still top 5 in the SEC. That's two huge money makers right there.

Kiffin is better than all the football coaches listed. tPear will top the basketball list when Oats goes to UNC

What? Yes, Wade is a good coach. No, he isn’t the “top” coach in the SEC outside of oats.

2 CFB playoffs in the last 3 years with 2 different teams would probably be the logic.
