The SEC’s winningest coaches

Four of the best eight coaches in SEC history will be on the sidelines when the 2010 season kicks off, at least when measured by their career winning percentages. For coaches who have spent at least five seasons at an SEC member, Florida’s Urban Meyer in the winningest coach in league history. In his five seasons with the Gators, Meyer has a 57-10 record, an .851 winning percentage. In second place is former Alabama coach Gene Stallings, who had a winning percentage of .810 with the Crimson Tide. After third-place Frank Thomas, fourth-place Paul “Bear” Bryant and fifth-place Robert Neyland comes current LSU coach Les Miles (.773 winning percentage), Alabama coach Nick Saban (.771 at LSU and Alabama) and Georgia coach Mark Richt (.769).

McElroy will spend four days at the Manning Passing Academy

In his second straight year at the Manning Passing Academy, University of Alabama senior quarterback Greg McElroy, like his college counterparts, is stuck in the middle. As a counselor, he’s older and experienced enough to instruct some of the 1,000-plus high school campers who converge on the Nicholls State University campus for the four-day event hosted by the first family of quarterbacks each summer. As an aspiring NFL quarterback though, McElroy is younger and inexperienced enough to take advice from NFL and Super Bowl winning quarterbacks Peyton and Eli Manning. “I have talked to Peyton on a couple different occasions,” McElroy said. “I texted him a couple weeks before the national championship game and asked (for advice), and Eli has been there as well. I will definitely get in their ear and learn from them the best way I know how because we can learn a lot from their preparation and experience. I will question them and learn as much as I can in my four days here.” [More]

Alabama players at SEC Media Days

In the past, each school has brought two players to SEC Media Days, the kickoff to the college football season. Usually a star offensive player and a star defensive player represented their school. That would have presented a dilemma this year for Alabama. Would it bring quarterback Greg McElroy and linebacker Dont’a Hightower? How could it leave Heisman Trophy-winning running back Mark Ingram at home? But Alabama doesn’t have to sweat that decision. It will bring all three players to Birmingham on July 21. [More]
