Being down at SEC Media Days, everybody's talking about and predicting how well their teams will do. As the originator of sports-talk radio in Memphis, I naturally found a different angle to cover this event.Instead of ranking coaches on their coaching ability (which all hack reporters or colunmists do), I'm ranking them on a combination of golf ability, personality, and taste in food. I call it the Fantasy George index.
Top Tier: These fellows are terrific. High marks across all categories.
- Steve Spurrier: No contest. The old ball coach is the best.
- Houston Nutt: He's a pisser.
- Mark Richt: A good guy. You can trust his restaurant recommendations.
- Rich Brooks: A better golfer than you'd expect. And he knows everybody.
- Tommy Tuberville: HONORARY - Tommy, you'll be missed.
2nd Tier: Generally good, but some flaw keeps them out of the top group.
- Urban Meyer: Good golfer, but not much fun to be around.
- Gene Chizik: Terrible golfer.
- Bobby Johnson: Great story teller, but terrible taste in food.
Bottom Tier: Major problems. Frankly, I don't want to be around any of them for more than 5 minutes.
- Bobby Petrino: Jerk.
- Dan Mullen: Bad golfer and terribly boring.
- Les Miles: Unbearible.
- Nick Saban: All the bad stuff you've read is true. None of the good stuff is.
- Lane Kiffin: Terrible in every way. California must have done it to him because I know Monte raised him right.
There you have it folks.
