now that the 4 have made their choices, how would you rank the hires?

personally i'd go:

  1. Butch Jones to Tennessee (i think this guy has potential to be a damn good one)
  2. Stoops to Kentucky (no i don't think he'll be great, but this is Kentucky 6 wind twice a decade will get him a statue on campus)
  3. Malazahn to Auburn (jury still out on him as a HC. he's a good OC, but without Cam, that O was average at best even when he was there).
  4. fatboy to Arky (i honestly thought they would get someone closer to Petrino's coaching style. that's what this team is built for and easiest path to winning again)


Too early to say but I will say that there is significantly less pressure on Stoops and Jones than Malzahn and Bielema.

I'm anxious to see how well they recruit.

Stoops I agree but Jones? I'd be willing to bet that the walking Tang crowd is fully expecting a 12-0 season next year.

Auburn has hired away Georgia's Defensive Line Coach and Recruiting Coordinator Rodney Garner. AU is Garner's alma mater.
He's receiving a 300k salary bump in additional to being named Assistant Head Coach. A title and increase that CMR was not ready to match.
He had spent the last 15 years at Georgia.

Nick Saban's shadow looms over SEC coaching turnover since 2007

Alabama's employed the same title-winning coach since 2007. The rest of the SEC is at 41 coaches and counting.


A few hours after firing Mike Riley, Nebraska athletic director Bill Moos candidly discussed potential candidates for the Cornhuskers’ vacancy. When asked about Kevin Sumlin, then at Texas A&M, and Bret Bielema, then at Arkansas, Moos delved into the murky coaching waters of the Southeastern Conference.

“That SEC, they eat their young,” Moos said. “I don’t care. I’ve said worse. You just look at the record of not giving a coach adequate time. There’s no patience.”

Scott Frost wasn’t mentioned in that diatribe. But the comment might well have been a bat signal flung into the sky with the hope Frost would see it. UCF’s head coach would have his choice of several jobs this offseason, including in the SEC, and Moos wanted the former Cornhusker quarterback to know that, at least at Nebraska, he’d have time to build a program.

With six SEC head coaching changes already this offseason – with potentially more to come – Moos has a point.

The SEC is the most competitive conference in the country, and its coaching turnover reflects it. Consider that in the last decade, two national championship-winning head coaches, LSU’s Les Miles and Auburn’s Gene Chizik, have been fired.

Every SEC team but one has replaced its head coach at least once since 2007. Five programs – Arkansas, Florida, Tennessee, Texas A&M and Vanderbilt – have done so three-plus times. In total, 42 coaches have occupied SEC jobs since 2007 – once this round of hires is complete. In other words, three head men per school.

There is a single constant in that 11-year period: Nick Saban.
