History Question re SECC?

[tm3]

Has any coach in the SEC ever started with a losing season and then won the SECC within the next 4 years, ie by his 5th year as HC?

Majors started with a losing season but did not win the SECC until his 9th year.

I'll hang up and listen.

Pat Dye 1981 was 5-6
Pay Dye 1983 was 11-1 SEC champs

1981 was his 1st year on the plains. Do I get a parting gift?

Great job -- I looked and was unable to find it.

Dye had some great teams at the Barn.

He was a great coach and recruiter. The story about how he landed Bo Jackson over the Bear is a college classic!!!

The amount of blowout losses TN had this year is more concerning than the record to me.

I agree. And you can add that Florida and Vandy did everything they could to give us the game but we would not take it.
