Which coach didn’t vote for Tim Tebow as All-SEC quarterback?
The SEC recently released its preseason coaches All-SEC team and unsurprisingly, Florida’s Tim Tebow was everyone’s choice as first team quarterback.
Well, not everyone’s choice apparently.
Only three players were unanimous choices on the first team: LSU offensive lineman Ciron Black, Tennessee defensive back Eric Berry and Alabama wide receiver Julio Jones. Tebow, the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner who led the Gators to a national championship in 2008, was not a unanimous choice.
Coaches weren’t allowed to vote for their own players, so a unanimous pick got 11 of 12 votes. Tebow got 10 of 12 votes, which means one of the SEC coaches doesn’t think that he’ll be the best quarterback in the conference this season. But which coach that was is uncertain.
Of all the quarterbacks in the SEC, the only one who might draw a vote away from Tebow is Ole Miss’ signal caller Jevan Snead. But if the Rebels’ Houston Nutt couldn’t vote for him, then who did?
If we could hold a blame storming session for a second, I’d like to blame either Lane Kiffin or Bobby Petrino – Kiffin because he’s proven to be a pimple on every SEC coaches’ ass since becoming head coach at Tennessee, and Petrino because he’s essentially the Hans Gruber of the college football world.
Not that this is a huge deal because after all, it’s just a preseason All-SEC team. But any time we get the opportunity to throw Petrino under the bus for something, it must be fully taken advantage of.

I’ve got an idea. Why don’t you stop stirring the pot with this speculative BS. Are you forgetting that Tebow wasn’t a unanimous pick last year either? The media is in love with him, and you can’t deny his record, but not everybody, or every coach, thinks he’s hands-down the best.
Tebow not being unanimous could mean there’s only one coach in the SEC who has the integrity to vote what he really thinks, instead of just putting down Tebow because everybody else will. Maybe, just maybe, there’s a coach (besides Houston Nutt) who leans toward drop-back passers, and pro-style offenses, and really does think Jevan Snead well be the better quarterback this season. Did that ever occur to you, or do you just think it’s so fun to bash Kiffin, that you’ll just make shit up in order to do it?
Hi Chris!
Do me a favor and re-read the fifth paragraph and come to the understanding that I’m not trying to stir the pot, but instead trying to make light of a story that quite frankly, isn’t that big of a deal.
For crap sake – relax. My God, you’re so far up Kiffin’s ass that you can’t enjoy a little humor. Take a break once in a while man – you’re all wound up.
Chris you are out of your mind if you believe that any other QB in the SEC is worthy of this distinction. You are right it is a stupid pre season award, but honestly you are telling me that you would take Jevon Sneed over Tim Tebow if you were starting a team…and if your answer is no, I guess you are just on the Tebow bandwagon like the entire country and media, right?
