Eleven Warriors

This shows that I have no life.  Please be kind

Of the current 14 head coaches in the SEC

3 were born in Ohio (Les Miles, Mark Stoops, and Gary Pinkel)
1 born in Illinois (Bret Bielemia)
1 in Michigan (Butch Jones)
1 in Nebraska (Mark Richt)
1 in Pennsylvania (James Franklin)

1 in West Virginia (Saban)
1 in New Hampshire (Dan Mullen)
1 in Texas (Gus Malzahn)

Only 4 SEC coaches were born in SEC states (Spurrier (Florida), Muschamp (Georgia), Freeze (Mississippi), and Sumlin (Alabama)).

2 current SEC coaches played college football at Kent State (Saban and Pinkel)
4 played in the B1G (Stoops (Iowa), Sumlin (Purdue), Bielemia (Iowa), and Miles (Michigan)

1 played at the U (Richt)
1 @ East Stroudsburg (Franklin)
1 at Southern Mississippi (Freeze)
1 at Ferris State (Jones)
1@ Ursinus (Mullen)

1 started at Arkansas and finished at Henderson State (Malzahn)

Only 2 played at SEC schools (Spurrier @ Florida and Muschamp @ Georgia)
_________________________________________________________________________
B1G (not including Rutgers or Md)

6 of the 13 (1 vacancy) were born in B1G states – (7 if you include NJ – Hazell) (4 from Ohio)(Myer, Hoke, Beckman, and Pellini)

Only one from the SEC (Dantonio, although he grew up in Zanesville)

1 from North Carolina (Wilson)

2 played for the B1G (Pelini and Fitzgerald),

3 played in Ohio (Myer @ UC, Hazell @ Muskingum & Beckman @ Findlay)

1 played for the SEC (Dantonio again @ South Carolina)

1 in the ACC (Wilson @UNC)
1 in the MAC (now)(Hoke@ Ball State)
1 in the Ivy (O’Brien @ Brown)
1 @ UConn (Ferentz)1 @ SW Kansas (Kill)

I have no idea what any of this means, except to show that of the current 25 head coaches in the B1G and the SEC, 7 were born in Ohio and 6 out of 26 played in the B1G (compared to 3 or 3 and a half if you count a partial).  3 were from the MAC
