Over the next few months we’ll examine the résumés of SEC coaches and determine whether they should stay or go (The Clash anyone?). Some, of course, will be shorter than others, these coaches will have left no doubt about the success or failure of their occupation. Some coaches will require a full evaluation, these coaches have both vehement support and fervent dissent.
