[QUOTE="ibeattetris, post: 660931, member: 1175"] Honest question. How many SEC coordinators who became head coaches are successful? Almost every Saban disciple has been under achievers. Kirby and Mario Critobal seem to be the most successful from Saban. Mike Locksley certainly hasn’t showcased anything special yet at Maryland. Jim McElwain is enigma. Fired for poor performance at UF despite 22-12 record and has Central Michigan at 7-4 this year. For the non Saban acolytes, Charlie Strong looked promising but never lived up to expectations. Steve Addazio is serviceable, but not an example of SEC coaches leading to greatness. Cutcliffe is good. Manny Dias is a work in progress as is Geoff Collins. Neal Brown was at Kentucky a few years and seems okay but not great. Skip Holtz hasn’t been great. Doc Holliday was assistant head coach at UF for a couple years and has been decent at Marshall. Frank Wilson was assistant head coach at LSU and is 19-27 at UTSA. Tyson Helton still in his first year at Western Kentucky after being OC at UT. Justin Wilcox hasn't been great at California. Mel Tucker's first year still at Colorado. Chip Lindsey still new at Troy. For coaches in the SEC Saban DC at Mich St prior. Success Chad Morris OC at Clemson. Failure Guz Malzahn brought an actual high school offense to the SEC and dominated. OC at Arkansas and Auburn. Success. Dan Mullen OC at Florida. Success. Kirby DC at bama. Success. Mark Stoops DC at Arizona and FSU. Success for Kentucky's standards. Ed Orgeron. He's kinda coached everywhere. Success. Matt Luke OC Ole Miss. Failure over three years. Joe Moorhead OC at PSU. Only two years in at a school not known for being good. Barry Odom DC at Memphis then Missouri. Middle of the road. Will Muschamp DC in LSU and Auburn. Not a good HC but makes some good defenses. Pruitt DC at FSU, UGA, and Bama. Too early to tell. Jimbo Fisher. I honestly didn't know he was LSU OC back in the day before FSU. Success. Derek Mason DC at Stanford. It's Vandy. All this to say, CGC may end up being good, but having SEC experience doesn’t seem to mean anything. I feel like this is another one of those ones where people from the South over value the SEC media bias due to living in it. From what I can tell though, the majority of the good oc/dc seem to get promoted from within in the SEC rather than leave to become good HC's else where [/QUOTE]
