There’s no “correct” way to become a head coach. Some get the gig with no previous head coaching experience, some have been assistants and coordinators for 20+ years before they even get a look. Some get one shot, fail, and then spend the next 10 years trying to get back to the main headset. In any case, every head coach has a journey and a story and each one has a different level of success. I thought, then, that it would be interesting to take a look at the 14 gentlemen who helm the programs of the SEC and see exactly how they ended up as head coach.
That New Coach Smell: Papa, where do SEC head coaches come from?
