Is Lane Kiffin, Mike Leach, Sam Pittman or Eli Drinkwitz the best first-year coach?

Who is the best first-year football coach in the SEC? The answer seemed obvious after Mississippi State upset LSU in Mike Leach's debut but that storyline quickly went south. Then Sam Pittman led Arkansas to two wins (and probably a third win, if a controversial call went the other way).  Lane Kiffin has made Ole Miss fun to watch on the field and, even more so, on Twitter. But Missouri's Eli Drinkwitz has a 2-2 record and could finish the season ahead of the rest. So who's the best newcomer coach in the SEC? Host Adam Sparks is joined by Ole Miss beat writer Nick Suss, of the Clarion Ledger, and Missouri beat writer Eric Blum, of the Columbia Daily Tribune, to flesh out the ranking on this week's podcast episode of "Voices of the SEC."

What's wrong with Auburn, Tennessee and LSU?

Play Episode Listen Later Oct 22, 2020 30:26


Auburn, Tennessee and LSU fans may be more frustrated than any in the SEC because their teams should be better than this. Each team has underachieved with at least one dud of a game this season. And they could be in danger of taking a nosedive in the remaining schedule, if things aren't fixed quickly. Is it too early for concern? Can each team turn it around? Are two early losses too many for teams with higher expectations? In this week's episode of "Voices of the SEC," we ask the question, "What's wrong with Auburn, Tennessee and LSU?" Tennessee beat writer Blake Toppmeyer, of the Knoxville News Sentinel, and Auburn beat writer Josh Vitale, of the Montgomery Advertiser, join the conversation.
