SEC coaches describe team in one word
August, 21, 2014

By Brett McMurphy

Pick a word, any word.

That’s what I asked the 65 coaches from the Power Five conferences and Notre Dame to do. Describe their team in one word.

Some coaches were one-word wonders, but a few insisted they needed two words. That’s fine because the descriptions shed some insight into how coaches view their team and/or what they want the public perception of their team to be.

Of the 65 coaches, “hungry” was the most common description. Nine coaches went with it, making a “hungry” team the modern-day equivalent of the “taking it one game at a time” cliché. Four coaches used “unproven,” another four “experienced” and three said “young.” Two coaches each used “redemption,” “committed,” “improved” or “youthful."

In all, the 65 coaches used 44 different descriptions.

Well, here’s to taking it one “word” at a time. My word: Enjoy.

SEC

Alabama’s Nick Saban: Untested
Arkansas’ Bret Bielema: Motivated
Auburn’s Gus Malzahn: Experienced
Florida’s Will Muschamp: Hungry
Georgia’s Mark Richt: Wow

Kentucky’s Mark Stoops: Improved
LSU’s Les Miles: Unknown
Mississippi State’s Dan Mullen: Hungry

Missouri’s Gary Pinkel: Confident
Ole Miss’ Hugh Freeze: Relentless
South Carolina’s Steve Spurrier: Decent
Tennessee’s Butch Jones: Committed
Texas A&M’s Kevin Sumlin: Eager
Vanderbilt’s Derek Mason: Audacious

Spurrier wins.  The rest of them are stupid coachspeak.

And you can tell Derek Mason is trying to fit in with the Vandy population.

He coached at Stanford previously.  Any linguistic acclimation (beeg werdz!) that he had to undergo probably occurred before he got to Vandy.

Yes, but your audacity meant being rude, as in mad thuggish, while ours means taking bold risks, as in not double checking your answers on the SAT.

Maybe he wasn't sandbagging after all.

Talent Wise decent. But very green.

A true freshman starter on D at SC is different than one at say, FSU. A&M isnt the best team to open with starting young players.
