SEC
Coaches and Their Villain Counterparts
7-3-08
by: Ryan
Mark
Richt (Georgia)
Alonzo (Training Day)
At first, Mark Richt seems like a pretty nice guy and that he’s
your buddy… but he’s not! Both Richt and his villain
counterpart have a propensity to wear black when making a killing.
Rich
Brooks (Kentucky)
Biff (Back to the Future)
Down on his luck, and never really able to catch a
break, this guy does everything he can to keep up with his cooler
and more successful foe: everyone else in the SEC and/or Marty
McFly. I picked Future Biff because he looks funny.
Urban
Meyer (Florida)
The Queen (Snow White)
Urban Meyer has brought a completely new level of evil
sorcery and femininity to the SEC, much like the Queen from
Snow White. You gotta love those rosy cheeks.
Steve
Spurrier (USC)
Steve Spurrier (Real Life)
No writer has ever been able to create a character
half as evil as Steve Spurrier.
Bobby
Johnson (Vanderbilt)
Dr. Claw (Inspector Gadget)
I see so little of this guy, I’m not really
even sure he exists. It might just be a trick.
Nick
Saban (Alabama)
Shooter McGavin (Happy Gilmore)
You love to watch this guy lose. Not only is it hilarious
when things go wrong for this arrogant character, but it makes
you feel like there is actually justice in this world when he
goes down in flames.
Bobby
Petrino (Arkansas)
Darth Vader (Star Wars)
He was a good guy , but then turned on his teachers
to lead a life of evil.
Tommy
Tuberville (Auburn)
Syndrome (The Incredibles)
These guys are both pretty insubstantial physically.
Being the smallest coach/villain by about 50 pounds forces the
character to use ingenious strategy to catch their foes off
guard.
Les
Miles (LSU)
Freddy Krueger (Nightmare on Elm Street)
I could have sworn we had this guy killed… a
last second shot-in-the-dark touchdown and two losses later…
National Championship.
Houston
Nutt (Ole Miss)
The Joker (Batman)
This guy has been teetering along the line between
genius and insanity for years now. It’s good for a few
good laughs when he pulls some crazy shenanigans on someone
else, but it’s not as fun when it happens to you.
Sylvester
Croom (Miss State)
The Shark (Jaws)
Just because you're floating atop the SEC doesn’t
mean you can’t get dragged down from some of the dwellers
below.
