Coaching in the SEC requires "a moral flexibility," as one coach terms it.

Coaching in NCAA Div. I requires "a moral flexibility,"

 

[futaba.79]

the best coach in the SEC.

You regularly make the Tourney, have won SEC Championships, SEC Tourney Championships and have been to the Final 4 but MSU is the worst job in the SEC. Riiiiiight.

Not that either school should be on that list, but if you are going with "one of those Mississippi SEC schools" that one makes much more sense. This decade MSU has been to 5 NCAAs, 2 NITs, won the SEC West 3 times, won the SEC 1 time, and won the SEC Tournament 1 time. Starkville isn't an easy place to win at in either football or basketball, but come on. Results in hoops prove that it isn't among the worst either, in fact they show that it is, at the very least, right there with any other school in the SEC West.

I don't think its one of the 4 toughest places in the country to win when you have more western division titles than any other school in the western division.

or UGA, or UT (historically)

unless, of course, the guy is just a dubmass.

 

[gtowndawg]

one of the dumbest things I've ever read. I can see it for football, but basketball? What an idiot.

This isn't this guys opinion. It's a poll done by SI of college coaches. Apparently colege coaches think MSU is the toughest job in the SEC.</p>

 

[Maroon Eagle]

MSU has the least financial support in the SEC; the second smallest (soon to be 3rd smallest with Auburn's new arena being smaller than their old arena) arena; a low population base what with six Division I universities in the state. By most financial measurables, MSU should be the most difficult place to win in the SEC.

 

[patdog]

MSU is a difficult place to win in football and basketball. It's been proven that good coaches can win here, but if you put an average coach at either head football or head basketball coach, he's going to end up with a losing record.

or UGA, or UT (historically)

You might want to rethink the part about UT. Only Kentucky and Alabama have won more SEC games than Tennessee has and only Kentucky and LSU have won more SEC championships than Tennessee.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Tennessee has tied LSU for second in regular season championship titles.
