John Adams: Third year crucial for SEC coaches - News Sentinel Story
Auburns Gus Malzahn made it to the national championship game in his first season as Auburns head coach in 2013. Former Florida coach Urban Meyer won a national title in his second season with the Gators.
Nick Saban won the SEC championship in his second season at LSU and a national title in his third season at Alabama. Les Miles won a national championship in his third season at LSU.
Mark Richts best season at Georgia was his second (13-1).
Steve Spurrier succeeded right away at Florida. And in his third season at South Carolina, he won eight games. That might not be anything special at Florida, but it was a big deal for South Carolina.
So were James Franklins nine victories in his third season at Vanderbilt (2013). It impressed Penn State so much, it offered him a better job.
