The SEC also named their postseason awards, and poor Bruce Pearl is the bridesmaid again,
as first year head coach of Mississippi, Andy Kennedy has been named SEC Coach of the Year.

http://www.clarionledger.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070306/SPORTS030103/70306032/0/SPORTS

Kennedy did a great job of coaching, his overall record was 19-11 and 8-8 n the SEC
(the 5th best record in the SEC)
Florida ended 26-5, but Kennedy still won the award.
Hmmm...if Kennedy was coaching in the MVC, no doubt several would have left him off their ballot, and Florida's coach (Donovan) would have won!
