re: Oh No-----------tell me it ain't so.......Athlon's SEC coaching thoughts...

Just looking at that list, what coaches would you take over O?

Saban
Mullen
Malzahn

That's it.

I don't think the SEC has ever had this many mediocre coaches. It's Nick Saban and everyone else.

Yeah, Bert at number 5.

IMO Orgeron should be down near the bottom because he's an unknown. Ranking him above people with SEC experience or extensive head coaching experience doesn't seem logical.

Only ones I take issue with is Freeze, Muschamp, and Sumlin. I would personally put Freeze either 3 or 4 but I think the NCAA investigation knocked him down here. Muschamp and Sumlin are too high: Muschamp failed at Florida and USCe was terrible last year; Sumlin was good when he had one of the best college QBs ever (then again you could argue the same with Malzhan).

I rank them in tiers:

1- Saban

2- Freeze, Mullen, Butter-teeth

3- Bert, Stoops, Mason, Sumlin, Malzhan

4- Muschamp, Jones

TBD(5) - Smart, Odom, Orgeron
