I know you guys are Tennessee fans but you need to look at this question with no bias. You have seen what tennessee is capable of doing (Georgia)and you still think Kiffin did a nice job this year? Kiffin lost to a horrible UCLA game at home, Lost to a florida team when in my opinion should have won, Lost to my Auburn team at home in a night game (Tennessee has better atheletes than Auburn this year), Kiffin lost to an Alabama team he had beat but doesnt know how to coach a field goal squad, and got raped by a decent ole miss team. Tennessee is my second team and i look at this with no bias but i have to believe Chizik did a better job with the talent he had than kiffin did. Tennessee has a top 10 defense and the best RB in the SEC and still lost 5 games!! Kiffin might be in my top 3 coaches in recruiting but not actual coaching.
My top 5
1. Meyer
2. Saban
3. Spurrier
4. Chizik
5. Brookes

you believe all the stuff you just typed? Also, the difference in UT vs UCLA and UT now is huge.

Petrino is trash. He is and will continue to be a miserable failure at Arkansas until they run him out of town. I'd put Kiffin third, and I think he will be as successful as 1 and 2 if he stays long enough. Chizik making the list is also stupid. Good to see the Auburn fan was the only one stupid enough to include him. They had one bad year and for some reason think they have a team devoid of talent.

If you believe:

1) Tennessee should have beaten Florida in the swamp;

2) Tennessee has noticeably better athletes than Auburn;

3) Rich Brooks belongs on that list despite having never gone over .500 in the conference,

then it doesn't matter if you are biased or not. You don't know anything about football.

He out-coached Saban this year, head to head.
And that isn't really debatable. Alabama has had some close calls, but a team so banged up and outclassed as far as talent goes came to Tuscaloosa and out gained them by 100 yards.

Chizik is #4, and we're bias?

Chizik made Iowa State worse. I'm not sure any coach in the SEC could pull that off.

I will let others question your intellect and thought process as far as decision making skills are concerned. Do us a favor and find a second team. How can you be a fan of a SEC team, and have a second SEC team that you like? How about Alabama for a second team? That would make about as much sense.......

Kiffin did not lose to UCLA and Auburn, our players did. This is a completely different ball team now. A team that would have beat UCLA and Auburn, perhaps even Florida.

We were starting walk-ons on the offensive line, a punter with a bad leg, and a kicker who came in off the street. Auburn has MUCH better athletes than we do.

Secondly, how does Rich Brooks even make it anywhere close to this list?

If only there was some way to see how our current team would fare in the earlier games this season. Especially after Crompton woke up and became a good qb.

Just out of curiosity, what is yalls reasoning in putting Saban 1st? He's between 1-2 no doubt about that. Bama has been a damn good team since he took over, but Florida has as well since Urban took over from the Zook years. In Urban's tenure, he's won 2 national titles (on the verge of winning a 3rd), 2 SEC titles (on the verge of winning a third), coached a Heisman Trophy winner (still in the running to win a second and imo won't).

Saban has resurrected a down LSU program and won a National Title and SEC title, and has led Bama to 2 undefeated regular seasons. Bama lost their bowl game last season.

For those that have posted, please put your reasoning behind why Saban, or Meyer, or Kiffin deserves the number 1 spot.
