You either love the SEC or you hate it. There is no in-between. But there is one thing you can't argue with and that is the collection of coaches in the league is second to none. Whether it's pure coaching on the field or sound bytes for the media, the coaches in the SEC bring the goods. For all that they've done for us, let's give them back a little bit. If I had the power, here is what I would give each SEC coach for Christmas…
Alabama's Nick Saban
The run Saban has been on at Alabama has been unprecedented in this era of college football. At this point, he's actually a victim of his own success. Anything short of a National Championship is considered failure by many in the Crimson Tide fanbase. I might have to go into witness protection after this gift but I'm giving Nick Saban an early retirement. Head out to the lake for the rest of your days coach, you deserve it.
Arkansas's Bret Bielema
As expected, it was a tough first year for Bret at Arkansas. Ever since the infamous #karma tweet by Jen Bielema, the Razorbacks haven't won a football game. For Bret, I'm going to climb into my trusty time machine and go back in time and erase the #karma tweet so it never happened and I'm also going to give him first approval on all of Jen's future tweets.
Auburn's Gus Malzahn
What do you get the man who has everything? At least that's the way it seems this season with the rabbits that Auburn has pulled out of their magic hat. Personally, I love a coach in a nice sweater vest and Gus rocks it as well as anybody since Jim Tressel. So let's get Gus the gift that keeps giving all year long, a membership in the sweater vest of the month club.
