Kevin Sumlin and Les Miles were either at the top or near the top. That’s no surprise.
Sumlin, who is entering his fifth season in College Station, has a 36-16 record with the Aggies. The Aggies, however, have gone 8-5 the past two seasons and 7-9 in SEC play.
It was speculated that Miles was on his way out at LSU last season after the Tigers went 9-3. Miles is 112-32 since being named head coach in 2005. LSU won the National Title in 2007.
Butch Jones, Gus Malzahn and first-year Georgia coach Kirby Smart also made the cut, and all three are under some sort of pressure, with Jones and Malzahn having the most.
Jones has been coach at Tennessee for the past three seasons and has gone 21-17 and 10-14 in SEC action.
Which coaches do you think face the most pressure in 2016?
