If you want to coach football in the SEC, you’d better be prepared for a few things.
Long days, sleepless nights, a medicine chest with lots of antacid, ungodly pressure, media spotlight, and hate mail even when you win.
Oh yeah, don’t forget actually coaching up a bunch of teenagers to make them look like grown men.
Other than that, the jobs are just wonderful.
Every year there is talk of which coaches are on the hot seat in terms of win now or be gone, but truthfully in the SEC there really aren’t any coaches who fit that category. However, some coaches have lost a bit of fan and alumni support based on 2014’s season and the offseason thus far, while others have boosted their image and gained a little favor.
With every move, every press conference, and every trip to the bathroom scrutinized, it’s hard not to affect how you are viewed on a daily basis as an SEC football coach.
If you take into account past results, recruiting class, off-field shenanigans, assistant coach hires, and just general likeability, here’s a look at which SEC football coaches have made their stock rise, and which ones have taken a bit of a tumble coming into the 2015 season.
