At first glance, JoMo moving to the heart of SEC country seemed unusual. Then I thought about it a little bit and came up with the following list of northerners who became SEC head coaches.

Nick Saban - from Ohio, Michigan State head coach who then went to LSU and eventually Bama.

Urban Meyer - from Ohio, coached a lot different places including Notre Dame; head coach at Utah and then went to FL.

Gerry DiNardo - from NYC, Notre Dame grad (all american), HC at Vandy then LSU

Les Miles - Michigan grad; HC at OK State and then LSU

George O'Leary - from NYC, New Hampshire grad, coached many places then HC at GA Tech.

James Franklin - from PA; coached many different places and then became HC at Vandy

I could have included Greg Schiano, but he wasn't head coach at Tenn very long.

Any others???
