SEC coaches describe team in one wordAugust, 21, 2014By Brett McMurphyPick a word, any word.That’s what I asked the 65 coaches from the Power Five conferences and Notre Dame to do. Describe their team in one word.Some coaches were one-word wonders, but a few insisted they needed two words. That’s fine because the descriptions shed some insight into how coaches view their team and/or what they want the public perception of their team to be.Of the 65 coaches, “hungry†was the most common description. Nine coaches went with it, making a “hungry†team the modern-day equivalent of the “taking it one game at a time†cliché. Four coaches used “unproven,†another four “experienced†and three said “young.†Two coaches each used “redemption,†“committed,†“improved†or “youthful."In all, the 65 coaches used 44 different descriptions.Well, here’s to taking it one “word†at a time. My word: Enjoy.SECAlabama’s Nick Saban: UntestedArkansas’ Bret Bielema: MotivatedAuburn’s Gus Malzahn: ExperiencedFlorida’s Will Muschamp: HungryGeorgia’s Mark Richt: WowKentucky’s Mark Stoops: ImprovedLSU’s Les Miles: UnknownMississippi State’s Dan Mullen: HungryMissouri’s Gary Pinkel: ConfidentOle Miss’ Hugh Freeze: RelentlessSouth Carolina’s Steve Spurrier: DecentTennessee’s Butch Jones: CommittedTexas A&M’s Kevin Sumlin: EagerVanderbilt’s Derek Mason: Audacious

You guys are AUsome.

Alabama’s Nick Saban: Rich
Spurrier is sandbagging again...he knows that he has a pretty good team.
Maybe he wasn't sandbagging after all.
I guess being "Audacious" only gets you 7 points against TEMPLE, LOL!!!!!
