Then you don't know Hat very well...
Urban Meyer, Nick Saban, and Lane Kiffin are going to collectively destroy the backslapping, tobacco chewing, provincial way the SEC has done business forever. This is not the SEC of Johnny Majors, Pat Dye, Vince Dooley, etc. anymore.
Just as D-X, the Rock, and Stone Cold Steve Austin helped transform wrestling from a G rated sidehow into TV-14 mainstream entertainment, Urban Meyer, Nick Saban, and Lane Kiffin are going to collectively destroy the backslapping, tobacco chewing, provincial way the SEC has done business forever. This is not the SEC of Johnny Majors, Pat Dye, Vince Dooley, etc. anymore.
Meyer will be in the NFL within a few years, and Saban will get bored and find somewhere else to coach, like he's always done. What Kiffin does remains to be seen.
You're probably right about the rest. I think the last old-school coach that the SEC ever will have coached his final game on Saturday.
