in the SEC. The VOLS really are bad, Butch is gone by years end. LSU lost to Troy, I like Troy, as it is 50 miles from me. For a school like LSU to lose to them is sad for LSU, bye bye Orgeron. Ole Miss just felt the wrath of a Bama team scorned. As of today I see all 3 looking for new coaches next year. Now the big question is, are there any good coaches out there who want to come face Saban every yr? He has made it hard to find good coaches for the other teams. This all happening means the barn will keep Gus for a while longer. Hip hip hooray, no way they want to be looking for a coach in this environment. I am glad aubs won as now they will get the big head, cannot wait to lay waste to them this year. I have no more arguments to defend most of the SEC, this conference has lost all its depth. There is Bama, UGA and all the rest.

Saban lost to UAB down in Baton Rouge on a early Fall day in 2000. Imagine if they had fired him after that one?
Look I realize Orgeron has a track record at Ole Miss - quite possibly one of the worst coaching performances not at Kentucky or Vanderbilt in SEC history - so everything is viewed from the lens of "we've seen him suck in the SEC West before." I just don't think you should be firing a coach before year 3 minimum and if they decide to do this then they don't need to stop at the athletic director.

The other difference is that Saban didn't take a yearly contender for the SEC West/SEC and then go and lose to UAB or L Monroe. Everyone knew he got handed a weak team. Orgeron got handed a very talented team and is tanking in his first season. But I do hope they keep him around for 3 more years.
We already know that no one really wants the LSU job right now, at least no one LSU would want to have does. I think he should get at least another season or two with his new OC and DC to properly gauge if this experiment will work.
However, I don't know if Orgeron inherited any worse a situation than Kirby Smart at UGA. Both teams were in conference title contention every year, yet they underperformed for years with high caliber recruits. UGA has shown a marked improvement thus far in CKS's 2nd year as opposed to LSU's regression in O's 2nd year (1st year as official HC). The better Kirby does at UGA, the worse things look at LSU under O.

Hahahaha, that would be hilarious. Talk about out of the frying pan and into the fire, that would be insane. It would be a bit of a surprise to fire a guy after one year, so they better have a good replacement in mind if they go looking.
The SEC consists of:
3 elite teams ( Bama, UGA, and Auburn in that order)
1 flawed but okay team (Florida)
10 horrible teams

Auburn has neer been an elite team, they have 1 yr out of 10 they look good, that is in no wat elite by any standard. Auburn is auburn, mid pack SEC at their best.
Name 3 teams in the SEC better than Auburn at this point. I can only name 2. Their defense is one of 3 teams in the FBS not to have given up more than 14 points through 5 games.
I don’t think that’s his point. I think he’s saying that Auburn isn’t ELITE, not the third best team. I don’t believe Auburn is elite either, but they are maybe #2 or 3 in the league.

Realistically I can see Auburn as a top 10 team in the country and capable of winning the SEC. So I think they are an elite TEAM this year, but if you say program or Gus as a coach then no they aren’t. The point is barring Florida backing into Atlanta and pulling a major upset then the SEC’s title hopes are in 3 team’s hands.
I would say "mediocre" but the meaning is the same...not a good league this year. And yes, I hate to say it, but AU is an elite team right now...especially on defense.
