It's not just "the SEC nation" that "rarely thinks" about this. I don't think I've ever read about a Big Ten, PAC, or BIG 12 fan obsessing about where their coaches were born either. I can promise you that fans of SEC schools would much rather have a top-notch head football coach who was born in Ohio or anywhere up north than have an average coach who was born in SEC country. We don't care where our recruits or coaches come from...just that as many good ones as possible come to our school. GG, please go back and read the data in the original topic post. There is absolutely NOTHING about where anybody was born. You've completely got off track with this 'born' stuff. The thread is about CF programs producing coaching talent for the highest level of the sport. Now, native lineage of SEC head coaches can also be a very non flattering subject to things SEC but let's save that for another topic and address the topic on hand....fair enough ? You've talked about where they were born plenty of times...it's all in the same category. My same statement applies to the topic at hand where you don't see other conferences talking about how much coaching talent their programs have produced. Again, it's not just the "SEC nation" that "rarely thinks" about this.

No, I do not. I do not see anyone discussing this topic at all, even from conferences who DO lead in this "category." I see people discussing how college teams from college conferences perform on the field playing college football. The fact that Tommie Frazier did not amount to anything in the NFL is not a negative against the Big 12 (now B1G.) Steve Spurrier's lack of NFL success with the Redskins is nothing for Florida or the SEC to be ashamed of. Right, the conferences and divisions that do lead these coaching categories don't feel the need to flaunt and gloat like the SEC nation supremacists typically do. LOL...so if the Big Ten went on a similar run of BCS Titles, bowl wins, etc that the SEC recently did, their fans, alums, and the media would not have been hyping the Big Ten?

Native born and where an individual played are not in the same category. If a FB player born in Alaska graduated from an SEC school and played SEC football and went on to great success as a HC I would consider that individual an SEC product.
I do not think the B10 fans or media or those from any other league would ever match the gloating or self adoration of the SEC nation. Ever hear the old BE fans and media bragging ?..although the Big East owned the SEC head to head.

There is no such thing as SEC Nation. You don't like the media...news flash...nobody does. We didn't create the media and you won't stop it. Trying to lay a guilt trip on the people here about the media is nonsense.

I've said bunches of times my views of 'SEC types' , SEC nation etc don't necessarily apply to the relatively astute guys in "here " from SEC universities. Glad you can see how absurd SEC FB hyping media can be.

Ever hear the old BE fans and media bragging ?..although the Big East owned the SEC head to head. Please. In 2006 it was all about Ohio State and Michigan, clearly the top two teams in the country per most of the media. When Ohio State beat Michigan, the hype for a rematch in the Natty started too. Then Florida found their way in, beat Ohio State, and started the string of BCS Titles for the SEC which fed the SEC media hype. This stuff can all be cyclical but the Big Ten has large passionate fan bases as well and would certainly generate a lot of hype if they went on a similar run. As for the old Big East fans, of course there was no bragging since there were no fans. Seriously, I do not personally know one single fan from any of the old eight Big East schools. And I grew up in Tampa where USF is located...a commuter school where most students are UF or FSU fans. Plus, did the eight-team Big East ever win a BCS Title?
