Roundtable: Picking SEC's second-best coach is no small task

In a draft of the SEC’s coaches, there’s no question who would be the first name off the board.

But after Saban, who’s next?

That’s where things get complicated.

In today’s roundtable, ESPN SEC reporters give their take on who should be considered the second-best coach in the conference entering the 2017 season.

Edward Aschoff: Well, when you consider that Jim McElwain has been to back-to-back SEC championships (sans offense) in his first two seasons at Florida, it's hard not to pick him.
