If the SEC was a Sandwhich


If each head coach was a Sandwich chain, here is how I think it would shake out.


Subway = Bobby Johnson. Quality Sandwich at a quality price but you know you could get a little better and its facilities has no appeal.

Lenny's = Nick Saban. Pretty good sandwich but you know you're overpaying for it. No matter how good that pepper relish is you know you could almost enjoy a cheaper sandwich without it.

McAllister's = Phat Phil Fulmer. The facilities are cheesy, the sandwich sucks and is overpriced but they've been marketed well and are known throughout the country now.

Newk's = Mark Richt. Decent sandwich just slightly overpriced. Has other good items on the menu so can do some other small things well that makes up for it. The better ingredients make you over look some things.

Quiznos = Bobby Petrino. Some how the second largest sub franchise in the country. Decent sandwich but way overpriced and having to deal with bad publicity as to how it handles its franchisees.

Blimpie = Steve Spurrier Pretty good sandwich at one point but times are starting to pass it by as the competitors are getting bigger cutting into its funding and its struggling without quality ingredients.

Obie's = Sly Croom. Decent sandwich and the problem isn't really the over priced as the tiny portions. With so little to work with you wonder if it can make it against the other sandwich chains.

Boston Market = Urban Meyer. Real up and comer in the sandwich world but not a pure sandwich shop. Doesn't really fit in because of its menu but you can't deny its food.

Firehouse Sub's = Tubberville. Pretty good sandwich that is always flying under the radar. You can't figure out what you're craving and you talk yourself out of it but after dismissing other sandwiches its still there in the end and looking a lot better.

Panera Bread = Rich Brooks. Never see it around anywhere so you have to wonder if its about to go out of business. Old people seem to love it though and keep it going and claim it has great bagel sandwiches.

Steak Escape = Les Miles. Sells a decent amount of sandwiches but you'd think it would do better with a captive market in a shopping mall.

Arby's = Houston Nutt. Great roast beef sandwich at a great price that's been around for a while. Some will disrespect for it failing to create a non roast beef sandwich and desire something greater. And you can't figure out what to make of the horrible oven mitt ads.
Honorary Mention
Cap'n D's Fish Sandwich = Ed Orgeron. Terrible quality fish that smells bad that only coonasses seem to like.
