Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 3533059, member: 7492"] So I read this and I am not sure what your point is on the comments. Are you contending that the SEC has a good group of coaches? If so, you haven't presented any evidence to sway why they are better than any of the other P5 Conferences. Show me some facts. Hint, I already have all the "success numbers" of Titles, Final Fours, Elite 8's, Sweet 16s and Conference titles won by conference and the SEC is 4th among all and that's with 14 teams.... Here's my retort to your comments: [LIST=1] [*]My quibbles with Neighbors is how he rode Kevin McGuff's recruits to the Final Four run and then left Washington high and dry without any talent. Let me see him do something with recruits he actually brings in and when I says do something-make it to the Sweet 16 or Elite 8. [*]Mitchell is NOT a national contender. He's paid like one but his results are far from "national". He has made the Elite 8 3 times (last time in 2013) and Sweet 16 twice (last in 2016) and has 1 conference title during his career. He also had his "intervention moment" when most of his team and assistants left the program. [*]Blair has had a really great career and just pulled in some great talent. With Vic at Texas, what is the A&M continuity plan? [*]Vandy? So her 42-79 overall record and her 13-51 conference record is not giving you enough information to form a cohesive thought on what to think? How about 4-12; 3-13; 2-14; 4-12 in 4 years of conference play??? [*]That's ZERO improvement, so seriously, injuries happen to everyone and she hasn't developed anyone. Time to go... [/LIST] So, yes, After Dawn and Gary, I still stand by my assertion that this lot of coaches is not impressive. To wit, of the P5 coaches, as said above, the SEC is 4th in Titles/Final Fours/E8/S16 and Conference titles won with a total of 89 among the lot of them (all 14) so that's a bit problematic and this fact is evidenced by their LOWEST winning percentage of all 5 conferences....Say all you want about young programs but all the conferences have young programs so you still need to look at the coaches total winning percentage... I applaud your effort to support your conference but show some empirical evidence that this is not the worst group of P5 coaches. Last, Dawn has to hope her coaching tree grows and is successful and that the SEC can rebound from the 2020 recruiting drought, which so far in 2021 and 2022 is not looking good for them... [/QUOTE]
