Ranking the Coaches on The SEC Hot Seat

This year was a weird year in the SEC, because only one coach was hired in the offseason, and that was the utterly polarizing, utterly dislikable Hugh Freeze by Auburn. We mourned the loss of Mike Leach, but almost immediately DC Zach Arnett replaced him, and then got the permanent job. So who’s job is under pressure in the SEC. We go from 1-12. You can predicted No.12 pretty easily. But if you didn’t, it’s Kirby Smart. Sam Pittman (Arkansas): The whole “Yessirrrrr!” thing has suddenly gotten old.

You can blame a lot of things for an awful 2013. You can blame the mound of injuries. His bad offensive co-ordinator. A difficult schedule. Or just simple blame Muschamp, as a lot of people have done.  Anyway, we look ahead to 2014, for what a lot of Gators fans hope will not be a repeat of 2013. If it is, then The Swamp will be less full of Gators than full of wide, open spaces…. LAST SEASON Before we start on last season’s
