Ranking the coaches going into....

I'm sick of hearing about Steve Spurious' credentials. He hasn't shown me JACK in 4 years in Columbia, and I betcha that people like WestColumbiaGamecock are starting to wonder wth he hasn't competed for a SEC championship yet.

And Houston Nutt doesn't impress me either, honestly. I don't know what's up with all the Nutt love going on.

And until he coaches an SEC game, Petrino should be #12. He hasn't done jack at any organization where there was actually COMPETITION.

Well said, McCat. I haven't been that impressed with Spurrier either. I think he is realizing that it's tougher to compete for a championship at SC than at Fla. I don't think that he will ever be able to win the east. 8-4 is about as good as he will do at SC. It doesn't make sense to put Petrino at # 12 either. I think he will get a dose of reality this year when he gets done with the SEC schedule. Arky will probably be lucky to win 6 or 7 games this year. I've never been able to make a decision on Houston Nutt. Sometimes I think that he is a good coach and sometimes I wonder how he keeps a job.

Trust me on this. WGC is the most realistic Gamecock fan on the planet. His mantra is "plan on frustration and be shocked if it doesn't occur."

Bobby Johnson at 12 is a joke. If Vandy lets him stay at least until 8 years, I think you'll finally see some 8 win Vandy teams. My theory being that his first few recruiting classes are going to still have the stigma of the old Vandy teams...but the more they improve, the better players that will come in...and two years from now, Vandy will probably have a good enough roster to not just have a winning season, but have a decisive 8 win season.

Sylvester Croom at 11 is also a joke. He completely turned that program around. He's done far more as an SEC coach than Bobby Petrino.

And Fulmer is ranked low because he has only coached at one school? So not being fired is a bad thing?

Any coach who loses to Louisiana-Monroe should be #11.

Any coach who has never coached a real team before should be #12.

That's the funniest thing I've read on the board in a while.

I think there's some sort of law that states that every time coaches in the SEC get ranked, somebody has to chime in about Bobby Johnson really being a great coach, but that you just can't see it because he's at Vandy. Nevermind the fact that he is winning at the same rate as the last couple of guys who have had the job.

Bobby Johnson and Sylvester Croom have lost to teams that make Louisiana-Monroe look like the AFC Pro Bowl team.

Johnson had trouble getting 8 wins at Furman. He'll never accomplish it at Vandy.

Most SEC wins in a season? 3. Highest finish in the East? 5th. Average yearly win total? Less than 3. Yeah, he's really underrated.

What's delusional about saying that the guy with the most conference titles is the best coach? I don't agree with him, but it's not like he'd be a crazy choice as #1.

Welcome to the new millenium. Ask Daniel Snyder.

Precisely.

Johnson hasn't accomplished any more than Widenhofer and Dinardo did on West End.

Saying Spurrier is the best coach in the conference in the present tense is somewhat delusional. I agree Spurrier WAS the greatest thing that walked a sideline in 1995 but as of right now he is nothing more than a oldie goldie trying to pull a few more wins out of his hat before he rides off into the sunset.

I hope that old buttnut proves me wrong because he's fun to hate but as of this moment I look at him as a mirror image of Lou Holtz.
