It's tough early on, but here is how I look at it at what they are currently doing and what they have done recenty.

1. Meyer
2. Miles
3. Richt
4. Saban
5. Spurrier
6. Nutt
7. Tuberville
8. Fulmer
9. Brooks
10. Johnson
11. Orgeron
12. Croom

I think that 3-5, can be interchangeable.

1. Meyer (I'm a believer now)
2. Spurrier (The Legend)
3. Saban (Lier, but a good coach)
4. Richt (Solid)
5. Tuberville (Don't let this year fool you, he's good)
6. Brooks (Took Oregon to the Rose Bowl, nuff said)
7. Johnson (Too many people sleep on this guy, he's got Vandy in as good a shape from a program perspective as it has been in 30 years. Too bad for them the SEC is as good as it has ever been 1-12)
8. Fulmer
9. Miles (I think he's an utter doofus)
10. Croom (Probably has the hardest job in SEC, nobody has ever won there without cheating)
11. Nutt (He's probably about two more losses from being a goner)
12. Bobby Boucher's Coach (But his guys did play hard last week)

Why are you guys so in love with $aban? The team where he made his reputation is winning more now than when he was there. LSU will probably win the national title. So why is he such a good coach? He has exactly 2 ten or more win seasons, 2001 at LSU then 13 wins in 2003. He had two 8 and two 9 win seasons there as well. His bowl record is 4-4. Miles is doing a better job and if he wins the national title (which I think he will) then there will be no question who did better. I see the beginning of the end for $aban at bammer. I remember when CW was hired at ND. Many on here were screaming that we should have gone after him. I cannot wait to see the bammer nation in total melt down in a few years. $abans coaching this year has been less than stellar. If it werent for nutter butter being so clueless bammer would be 0-2 in the SEC. The only reason the UGA game was so close is because their TE Trip Chandler can't catch.

If you look back over the past 4-5 years Bama generally averages in the top 15 for recruiting classes. It is clear that Shula was not getting the most out of the talent on hand. Saban could very well take his team to a 10-2 record with fan-pleasing victories over hated rivals UTK and Auburn and a New Year's Day bowl appearance.

who cares after Meyer and Miles right now? the 3rd place team in the SEC is a ways off from those two.

If we're combining "what have you done for me lately?" and historical value, I'll go:

1. Spurrier
2. Meyer
3. Saban
4. Richt
5. Miles
6. Fulmer
7. Tuberville
8. Brooks
9. Nutt
10. Croom
11. Johnson
12. Orgeron

Bobby Johnson is the most overrated coach in the SEC, followed by Ears.

11. Orgeron
12. Croom

Would Croom win with Florida's talent? Would Meyer be able to recruit kids to Miss. St.? My list might not be too acurate to people that know these guys.

How Croom got Mississippi State to beat Auburn on the road after showing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING at LSU is insane to me.

Vanderbilt is such a small school compared to other SEC schools and they demand a higher standard in academics. It's hard to ever judge their coaches to the rest of the SEC but I couldn't imagine too many people doing a better job.

Even though I've done this before, I'll do it again for you.

Bobby Johnson 2002-2006: 15-43
Woody Widenhofer 1997-2001: 15-40
5 Years Before 1992-1996: 18-37

And Johnson had a 1st round draft pick at QB. He's worse than the two coaches before him.

He didn't get the luxury of going against Mike Dubose, Brad Scott, Jim Donnan, or other former SEC coaches either. Instead he goes against Meyer, Richt, and Saban which are all upgrades over Widenhofer's competition. He had to help make Cutler a first round pick seeing that Illinois wouldn't take him out of high school and he also beat UT. They have more depth now and the offense is much better. The old teams depended on the defense or they lost.

Well if he does get to 10 wins that will make exactly 3 times in his career.

1997: 12.6 ppg
1998: 12.9 ppg
1999: 22.9 ppg
2000: 17.6 ppg
2001: 20.6 ppg
2002: 18.4 ppg
2003: 19.6 ppg
2004: 19.3 ppg
2005: 27.2 ppg
2006: 22.0 ppg

It really isn't that much better.

Anybody who doesn't think that Bobby Johnson is not an infinitely better coach than anything they have had on West End in 30 years has no clue. And anyone who uses his five year record as a lithmus test of his program's success is unrealistic. As a Nashville native who despises the Belle Meade faction of Vanderbilt elitist, I have to give Johnson credit for what he has done. Widenhofer ran that thing into the ground by the end of his tenure, even by Vanderbilt standards. That university has to give a guy 8 years or so to let a guy get his ship in place, because the academic restrictions. Johnson has to recruit kids who can get into VU, and do so even with a three decade tradition of losing. He's found the Jay Cutler's, Earl Bennett's, and Jonathan Goff's. and seems to be doing a good job recruiting lots of second tier athletes in Georgia and South Carolina. Vandy has depth now, which is something they have never had.

Also, the guy was a huge success at the I-AA level at Furman, and I think those guys have to be better X and O coaches than their D-I counterparts. Count me as a fan of Coach Johnson.

It's more consistent the last few years. It hasn't gone below 19 ppg since 2002 which is much better than the 12.6 and 12.9 averages put up in the late 90's. I like my chances much better if I'm putting up 19 or 20 points a game compared to under 13.

Amen, we live in Nashville and see it first hand. He has done a fantastic job.
