Remove Kirby and Saban from the equation…which SEC Coach is doing the best job?
An argument can be made for Stoops, Pittman, Heupel, Kiffin or Leach.
I believe I vote for Stoops…but can be talked into any of them.
I guarantee that @pgjackson will not pick Leach

Stoops- as he is consistently winning now
followed by Pittman and Heupel
I’d give it to Stoops or Pittman. No problems with either answer. Stoops with the slow rebuild, and Pittman with a quick turnaround. I’d probably have to give it to Stoops since he’s done it for longer. We’ll have to see if Arky has staying power.
Definitely not Leach. He’s 14-14 in his 2+ years. They were 23-16 the three years prior. He needs to go about 6-3 just to match the 3 years prior, and that’s just matching not improving.
Of the coaches you named , Stoops is the one that has most recently beaten the Gators multiple years running.. so Stoops.
As of now I would say Stoops and Pittboss. But if Tennessee continues like they are and finish 10-2, I think Heup would deserve the top spot.
Just considering what he has to work with and against, (dated indoor facilities, feud with AD, basketball school perception) I'd have to give it to Stoops.
I think Stoops, Pittman, Heupel and Kiffin are all doing a good job.
Yeah, all 4 of these guys are good coaches and are doing well at their schools. I’ll go with Pittman right now. To be fair though, Pittman and Stoops are both doing great, and if it weren’t for the fact that I just love the Pittboss, I’d likely pick Stoops.
Kiffen is very entertaining and it’s fun to watch his team. I’m looking forward to Kentucky at Ole Miss. It honestly wouldn’t surprise me if Ole Miss takes KY out behind the woodshed. It also wouldn’t surprise me if Ole Miss is entertaining in this game bc it’s reminiscent of a train wreck.
I’ve got nothing personally against Heupel. He certainly appears to be turning things around. It does bother me a bit. I am still haunted by the days when that infernal tune Rocky Top would be stuck in my head. Please, never again!!!
I think they are all great! (Unlikely to do a better job than Kirby Smart! 😉)
Heupel is on the cuff here. A few more wins, or just even one against Bama or UGA (hopefully Bama) and he catapults to the top.
Josh Heupel. Considering how many transfers he had to deal with and still managed a winning record last year? Remarkable.
I am going to say Josh Heupel has done more with less or mess for that matter! He has only been there for under 2 years, where Stoops took 4 years to be a winner and 10 years to be regarded as legitimate by anyone not wearing UK Blue.
My money is still on Coach Napier for making the biggest change, if he is still around in year 4!
Has to be Pittman, people seem to forget how dreadful they were before he got there. He turned them around so quick it makes people take it for granted. I don’t know Arky well but I’d say they don’t have the same resources or fertile recruiting area that Tenn has. Stoops had the benefit of time to build it his way, Pittman turned that thing in one year, on the harder side of the conference
I 2nd this. I was out in Arkansas during his first season and it was like Jesus had been hired to coach that team. He has done a remarkable job turning around that program in a short period of time in the toughest division of the toughest conference as well as having to play the Dawgs in back to back years. Turned water into iron some might say.
I think they are all good especially if their schools are patient.
I do think Kiffin needs to stay put. He fits Ole Miss and he needs stability.
Although in the past I haven’t like Leach, I like what he’s got going. Miss State is a very hard place to win. They will have a winning season this year
Pittman, followed by Stoops. Too early to tell on Coach Chumlee. Until he shores up that defense, he’ll always be a one trick pony.
