Fans say Tuberville best football coach in SEC
August 19th, 2008 by Vince Mullins
In our first Fantasy College Blitz Coaching Survey, our very own Matt Ryan (not the Eagle/Falcon QB) pounded message boards and emailed site admins to get to the heart of whom the fans thought was the best college football coach in the SEC.
He also earned a cease and desist letter, but he chooses not to talk about it.
“The whole thing was meant to measure perception vs reality…a ‘reality check’ to the fan perception of the poll,” said Matt Ryan. “I had counted on the rest of the nation being as gung-ho as the SEC was on the first go-around to participate and it was just not the case.”
Poll was structured for users to rank each coach in each conference (from one to X for each conference team) on four variables:
(1) Recruiting
(2) Player Development
(3) Gameday
(4) Program Control
So with the SEC leading the way with over 300 responses, here are the results (low numbers are best, random thoughts below):
[TABLE=9]
- The gap Tuberville holds in coaching over the field impresses the heck out of me, especially when mostly Tennessee fans voted.
- Does Bobby Johnson of Vandy really have that much institutional control, or is it more a factor of the Commodores higher academic admission standards? Conversely, police blotters alone hold evidence to the “challenges” at Florida and Alabama.
- Mark Richt the fifth best recruiter in the conference. Granted, that top 5 is closely bunched but still – really SEC fans?
