I love this. Without Watson....Without Winston...Without Cook
As for your question, no idea. Of course that coincided with the best run in USC history so probably not too well.
Hell, tell me the name of the Auburn coach that won the title with Cam? And you're right, dabo had a goose egg his first 5 full seasons against the cocks
Tebow was still there wasn't he? Harvin was still there. The murderer was still there. Eye poker was still there.
The point is, NO coach wins big without STAR players. I challenge you to name a team that won a title that didn't have starts. No coach is that good. Players matter more than coaches but coaches still matter. Hence why Auburn won with Cam. That coach sucked as a head coach.
Tebow ran the ball 89 times that year for almost 500 yards and 8 tds. He also threw 5 tds.
Harvin ran for 428 yards on 41 carries and 3 tds with 10.4 ypc and caught 34 passes for 427 yards and 2 tds with an avg of 12 yards per catch
I pulled a whoopsy on the other 2. However, the point remains, no coach has ever won it all without superstars on their team.
I didn't think Leak was bad. He has a career 61.5 completion percentage and threw for 88 tds and ran if effectively at times. He didn't end with a lot of yards because of sacks but he wasn't a terrible runner.
To me Leak was just good enough, add in tebow and percy contributions. The Gators were very good that year.
Yeah ok Chizik won 3 games after Cam. Hey look I thought Dabo would falter after Chad Morris left. They didn't. He's made great hires like Venebles. He recruits well obviously.
Why would u think that? Morris is a high school coach. He had an idea of a good system which most teams run anyway. Dabo is very good at hiring coaches who know what they are doing. the Venebles hire was a homerun
Because that is not clear. One *can* say that the ACC is better this year than they have been for awhile. And that the ACC better this year than the SEC.
But one cannot say unequivocally that the ACC has better coaches. The ACC needs to show dominance over the SEC for more than one year to assert that.
What has been ACC vs SEC record the last 3 years?
SEC is 13-18 against the ACC over the past 3 yrs
SEC was 18-6 the 3 yrs before that.
So there has 100% been a turnaround. ACC is not as dominate over the SEC as the SEC was over the ACC but you cant argue that the ACC is not better right now.
To your point, its hard to say anything is "unequivocally" better or worse. However, the ACC has better coaches now then they did 10 yrs ago and the SEC has worse coaches now then they did 10 yrs ago in my opinion.
