Who is the SEC coach of the year so far?

I really only see 3 candidates
Nick Saban- team is undefeated and has an excellent shot for a third national title in a row and his fourth in his tenure at Bama
Gary Pinkel- Missouri came literally out of nowhere. They have played the best football out of all the teams in the East. If Pinkel wins the East, I think he should definitely receive the honor.
Gus Malzahan- Came out of nowhere too. Auburn had a shitty team last year, but they had potential. He has them in a complete 180 from last year though. 3-9 to any sort of 10+ win season is nothing short of amazing.
It's all about whether you think it's harder to sustain a program or to build a program.

If James Franklin beats UTk, James Franklin will be the SEC COTY.

If Auburn ends up 10-2 or better this you, you have to give it to Gus. If Bama goes undefeated, then Saban also deserves the award, given all of the off the field shite he had to deal with this year while still guiding us through it all.

I don't know how anyone could vote against Gus in this situation. Nick's accomplishments are almost expected at this point, I think that is a detriment to his cause in this race. I assume, if Gus continues to win, he will get the COTY award.

Gus. Pinkel would deserve it, but he has been there developing a program for a while - it just clicked on the field. Gus not only had to resurrect a football team, he had to rebuild the psyche of all the players on our team in his first season. Not easily done.

Probably the same coach who was yesterday in this thread.. And the day before that in the same thread...the trend continues for about a month or so

I think it is harder to turn around a team that was terrible the previous year, so Pinkel or Malzahn. Saban is obviously impressive, but at this point his machine is well oiled and efficient. If he does this next year in his first season at Texas, he would be the top pick.

Franklin, Pinkel, & Malzahn (in that order).
They've all had great seasons.

My list and order, and explanation why:
1. Saban - Undefeated, keeping the team motivated after back to back NC's and likely headed to an undefeated season.
2. Pinkel - Probably the least talented of the three teams listed here, and doing the most with them.
3. Malzahn - Doing an outstanding job and worthy of top 3 consideration, working with one of the higher ranked classes, shouldn't be a total shock that they have only one loss and can finish with probably just 2 during the season.

Saban shouldn't even be in the running for this award anymore. At this point, his accomplishments are expected - he's running a football factory at Bama.
I think Gus deserves this award, hands down. He not only had to totally infuse better, more efficient coaching he had to get into the heads of a bunch of players that literally quit on the previous staff. The mental turn-around Gus & Co have imposed on those players is phenominal. Gary Pinkel already had his players mentally prepared, he just got them healthy so they'd be physically ready to play.
