    Here's the Athlon SEC and Big 10 coaches from the same article as the above topic. They have Coach Mac at number three in the SEC which is up significantly from a year ago.

    SEC

    Big 10

    No surprise with Meyer, Harbaugh and Franklin as the top 3.

    Dan Mullen #2, interesting. His name sometimes comes up when frustrated Irish fans play the who will replace Brian Kelly game.

    Mullen's name came up for the Florida vacancy also. However I have the feeling that when he left Florida they did not admire each other.

    I am a bit surprised he is still at Mississippi State.

    Keep an eye on Justin Fuente as the next Tom Herman, and keep an eye on Tom Herman as the next Charlie Strong!! :)

    Seriously Herman needs to get off to a good start.

    Matt Rhule is going to return Baylor to the pre- Art Briles days when the football players were gentlemen and lost games with dignity! :)

    Wow Stu, I am sorry. I thought I had copied and pasted the Big 10. But thanks.

    I also wanted to do the Big 12 and perhaps the ACC but didn't see the link.

    The Pac 12 was available but I am not sure we have that much interest.

    Like Stu said I am enamored with the SEC.

    But here's the PAC 12.

    It will certainly be interesting to see how P.J.Fleck does a Minn and Jeff Brohm at Purdue.

    Terry Bradshaw doesn't like that Saban is set to earn 11 million dollars ...yikes I didn't know he was going to make that much! But if anybody is worth it, Saban is worth it.

    I have to question Bielema being that "high" on the SEC list.

    He's taken them from disaster to mediocre. SO?
