per Oller:

The Southeastern Conference is having more than a bad hair day. The entire season is looking bed-head messy.

Louisiana State football coach Ed Orgeron resembled a baggie floating in the ocean while explaining how the Tigers lost to Troy on Saturday. Tennessee coach Butch Jones was similarly deflated after the Vols lost to Georgia by 41 points.

These are tough times in wide swaths of the south, where “SEC Speed” is offset by coaching slippage.

And the Big Ten loves it.

The script has flipped. The best coaches are settling in the north to further invigorate a Big Ten Conference that five years ago suffered from a coaching talent gap. The SEC, meanwhile, is taking it on the chin as Orgeron and Jones cling to jobs, Kevin Sumlin remains on the hot seat at Texas A&M and Hugh Freeze left Ole Miss after getting caught with a young miss or two.
