Each situation is unique, with many disparate reasons for finding itself in a state of tumult, but there is one item on every list across whatever plagues the (insert name) SEC program near you.

Nick Saban.

Alabama hired Saban in 2007 and by 2008 he had college football's modern-day juggernaut up and firing. He's won three national titles since while going for a fourth this season, will play in his in fifth SEC championship game Saturday against Florida and has gone 57-5 in regular-season play, including 35-5 in the SEC, over the past five seasons.

Essentially, no one can beat Saban's Crimson Tide, at least not regularly.

This is a key reason why Georgia and its longtime, highly successful and high-class coach, Mark Richt, parted ways on Sunday and why LSU tried to fire its longtime, highly successful and high-class coach, Les Miles, on Saturday (public sentiment forced the administration to reverse course).

Not sure if it impacted their futures - just their present. I don't see either fading away unless it is by choice.

Well Les is still employed in Baton Rouge, but he needs to dump Cameron and Steele for younger co-ordinations who can get LSU into the 21st century football wise. Too much talent, but needs to find a QB not like the last 2-3 he has recruited. Steele needs to go and hopefully not back to Tuscaloosa. Richt is a younger version of Mack Brown, getting paid for a made up job as payment for his years of service and not suing the school.
