Did you know that three of the SEC’s 12 all-time winningest head coaches are active in 2015?

Georgia’s Mark Richt, Alabama’s Nick Saban and South Carolina’s Steve Spurrier have already placed themselves among the league’s all-time greats, and will have a chance to push their win totals even higher beginning this week.

After passing Georgia’s Vince Dooley last season, Spurrier has seemingly reached a plateau at No. 2 on the list.

Spurrier needs 86 wins to catch legendary coach Paul “Bear” Bryant at the top of the list, and at 70 years old, he seems unlikely to coach long enough to make that happen.

If only Spurrier had avoided the lure NFL and spent 2001-04 accumulating SEC wins, we might be having a different discussion.

Meanwhile, both Richt and Saban can move ahead of several coaches by the end of the season.

Barring an unforeseen disaster, they are both likely to pass LSU’s Charlie McClendon and Georgia’s Wallace Butts in 2015, meaning that both should find themselves inside the Top 10 by the end of the year.

Given their ages and career arcs, it is plausible that Richt and Saban each could surpass the 190 wins needed to crack the Top 5 in wins for a coach at an SEC institution.

LSU’s Les Miles is the only other active SEC coach to crack the Top 25 of this list, ranking at No. 18 with 103 wins as head coach of the Tigers.

Note: These win totals were from the official SEC football media release for Week 1 of 2015
