He did win a National Title but he honestly lucked up by even getting in the game. He had one of most talented teams in the country and still lost two games. I would take Saban and Meyer over him anyday.
It's hard to say who the best in the SEC is because we're stacked with good coaches. But I would go with Tommy Tuberville, but I think Rict and Meyer are right on his coattails. The reason I picked Tubby is because he's been around longer. He turned around a dirt poor Ole Miss team and has done some great things at Auburn. Should have played for a National Championship, but that's a different story for another day.
I would say...
1. Tuberville
2. Meyer
3. Richt
