There are a number of solid coaches in the SEC, and there are also a few new coaches who are eager to prove their worth.

Naturally, the SEC has the greatest coach in the country in Alabama’s Nick Saban — a six-time national champion who is still going strong.

On Wednesday, The Big Lead ranked the top-10 coaches around the country. Saban lands the No. 1 spot, but he’s joined on the list by Kirby Smart and Dan Mullen:

  • No. 1 — Nick Saban, Alabama
  • No. 8 — Kirby Smart, Georgia
  • No. 10 — Dan Mullen, Florida

Interestingly, Texas A&M’s new coach, Jimbo Fisher, didn’t make the cut. Fisher won a national championship at Florida State, but apparently The Big Lead is taking a wait-and-see approach with him at his new job.
