Who is the best first-year football coach in the SEC? The answer seemed obvious after Mississippi State upset LSU in Mike Leach's debut but that storyline quickly went south. Then Sam Pittman led Arkansas to two wins (and probably a third win, if a controversial call went the other way).  Lane Kiffin has made Ole Miss fun to watch on the field and, even more so, on Twitter. But Missouri's Eli Drinkwitz has a 2-2 record and could finish the season ahead of the rest. So who's the best newcomer coach in the SEC? Host Adam Sparks is joined by Ole Miss beat writer Nick Suss, of the Clarion Ledger, and Missouri beat writer Eric Blum, of the Columbia Daily Tribune, to flesh out the ranking on this week's podcast episode of "Voices of the SEC."
