For the first time in 13 years every SEC coach is returning to their post. It's important to note the last time this has happened was in 2006. The following year Nick Saban will be hired as the next head coach at the University of Alabama and change the standard for coaches in the SEC forever. Winning won't be enough anymore, you need to stuff the trophy cases or get left behind. Here's how many coaches each SEC team has had since 2006.
Kentucky- 3 Rich Brooks, Joker Phillips, Mark Stoops
Georgia- 2 Mark Richt, Kirby Smart
Florida- 6 Urban Meyer, Will Muschamp, DJ Durkin (Interim), Jim McElwain, Randy Shannon (Interim), Dan Mullen
South Carolina- 3 Steve Spurrier, Shawn Elliot (Interim), Will Muschamp
Missouri- 2 Gary Pinkel, Barry Odom
Vanderbilt- 4 Bobbie Johnson, Robbie Caldwell, James Franklin, Derek Mason
Tennessee- 6 Phillip Fulmer, Lane Kiffin, Derek Dooley, Jim Chaney (Interim), Butch Jones, Brady Hoke (Interim), Jeremey Pruitt
Texas A&M- 7 Dennis Franchione, Gary Darnell (Interim), Mike Sherman, Tim DeyRuter (Interim), Kevin Sumlin, Jeff Banks (Interim), Jimbo Fisher
LSU- 2 Les Miles, Ed Orgeron
Miss St- 4 Sylvester Croom, Dan Mullen, Greg Knox, Joe Moorhead
Ole Miss- 4 Ed Orgeron, Houston Nutt, Hugh Freeze, Matt Luke
Arkansas- 7 Houston Nutt, Reggie Herring (Interim), Bobby Petrino, John L Smith, Bret Bielema, Paul Rhoads (Interim), Chad Morris
Auburn- 3 Tommy Tubberville, Gene Chizik, Gus Mahlzahn
Alabama- 2 Mike Shula, Nick Saban
During Saban's reign, six SEC Coaches of the Year have been fired; Will Muschamp, Jim McElwain, Kevin Sumlin, Sylvester Croom, Gene Chizik, and Les Miles. Appreciate your returning coach while you can because I guarantee they won't all be there this time next year.
