The sixth in a series previewing SEC football in 2021
HOOVER, Ala. — When Nick Saban rejoined the SEC at Alabama in the summer of 2007, his SEC West peers at the time were Arkansans such as Houston Nutt and Tommy Tuberville, Sylvester Croom, Ed Orgeron and Saban’s replacement at LSU, Les Miles, who would be replaced by Orgeron.
Saban will start his 15th season at Alabama this year, and the regimes of his 2007 contemporaries feel like distant memories.
The coaching churn since Saban’s return to the league includes five different coaches at the University of Arkansas and Ole Miss, four at Mississippi State, three at Auburn, two at LSU and two at Texas A&M, which joined the SEC in 2012.
