SEC Media Days is a special time when sports writers get together and pepper head coaches with questions about the coming season. Since there is limited time to do interviews, we were unable to ask every question we wanted. Here’s a look at the one question we wish we could have asked each head coach.

Mark Stoops, Kentucky – Kentucky really is your dream job, isn’t it? I’ve never heard Stoops call his current position that, but it would make perfect sense. The Wildcats’ football team is often forgotten, as many fans are more focused on basketball. Mark Stoops is the youngest of the three Stoops brothers coaching college football and thus mistaken for that guy at Oklahoma or the coach who screwed up Arizona for a while. The two sides are a perfect match.

Mark Richt, Georgia – Coach Richt, have you put the city of Athens on lockdown? The Georgia program has been virtually silent this summer, as no Bulldogs’ football players have been arrested. Clearly, something is amiss. Richt’s players can’t be following the rules, right? Or has Richt lost control of losing control of his guys? It’s such an unfamiliar sight that what happens next is hard to tell.

Butch Jones, Tennessee – If Brian Kelly leaves Notre Dame, how many minutes pass until you’re on a flight to South Bend? Brian Kelly left Central Michigan for Cincinnati in December 2006 and was replaced by Jones. Kelly jumped from the Bearcats’ program in December 2009 to replace Charlie Weis at Notre Dame. His replacement in Cincinnati was none other than Butch Jones. With rumors that Kelly may jump to the NFL, it’s only natural Jones fills the void with the Fighting Irish. Who cares if he hasn’t won anything? That hasn’t stopped Notre Dame before.

Nick Saban, Alabama – How many times have you watched “The Kick Six” play? My money is on six, and each time Saban’s face gets redder than a tomato. Arguably the greatest end to a football game ever, the Auburn victory displayed how no coach is invincible. It also showed that recruiting competent kickers is just as important as landing five-star quarterbacks and running backs.

Derek Mason, Vanderbilt – Is your house up for sale yet? Derek Mason couldn’t have gotten off to worst start with the Commodores. Vanderbilt went 3-9 last season and looked awful against many of its opponents. If the ‘Dores don’t produce in 2015, he may be out before his second season is even over. Mark your calendars for Oct. 3; a loss to Middle Tennessee in Murfreesboro, Tennessee may be the final nail in the coffin for Mason.

Gus Malzahn, Auburn – Can you please blink if you’re as scared of Will Muschamp as we are? Muschamp may not be a good head coach, but he is a frightening individual. I don’t even think Malzahn interviewed Muschamp for the defensive coordinator position; Muschamp just walked into the office, picked up a head set and said “I’ll be at work tomorrow morning at five.” Malzahn was so scared he just added Muschamp to the pay roll and went about his day.

Kevin Sumlin, Texas A&M – Will you please kiss and make up with Texas? Conference realignment ruined one of the great Thanksgiving traditions of watching the Aggies and Longhorns duke it out in a Thursday night game. Sumlin has yet to face Texas since he took over at A&M, but maybe if we ask him pretty please, he will ask around. Nobody benefits from this rivalry being shelved.

Les Miles, LSU – Les, we know you’re a fan of eating grass. What are your thoughts on legalizing marijuana in Louisiana? Legalize it, ask him to retire and give him his own two-hour show on SEC Network. It would make the viewership of The Bachelorette look like original programming from a local TV station.

Hugh Freeze, Ole Miss – How many more wins until you’re no longer “that guy who had a cameo in “The Blind Side”? Freeze has a pretty low profile, even with being an SEC head coach. Can we please provide this guy with national recognition from winning football games, not for being out-acted by Houston Nutt?

Dan Mullen, Mississippi State – How does it feel to win 10 games and earn zero confidence among the press? The Bulldogs went 10-3, return their starting quarterback and were predicted to finish last in the West division. At this point, Mullen has gotten no respect so much he’s pulling at his neck tie like he’s Rodney Dangerfield.

Steve Spurrier, South Carolina – You’ve gone giddy over an Independence Bowl victory. Who are you, and what have you done with the real Steve Spurrier? Spurrier used to lampoon Tennessee by saying “You can’t spell Citrus without U-T”, a joke about the Volunteers’ normal trip to Orlando, Florida as the No. 2 team in the SEC. Now Spurrier wants to jump up and down because his team went 7-6? For God’s sake, you’re not Derek Dooley. Act like you’ve been there before.

Gary Pinkel, Missouri – What bogus non-conference game will you drop this year? The Tigers lost to a 4-8 Indiana team last season, making the Hoosiers the transitive SEC East champ. This season, Missouri plays a mighty set of non-conference opponents like Southeast Missouri, Arkansas State, UConn and BYU. It’s going to be quite a scene when the Huskies pull the upset and the Tigers still slip past Georgia for the third straight season.

Jim McElwain, Florida – Are you feeling alright? We know the Gators had one coach whose heart wasn’t in it anymore. His replacement constantly produced offenses that made everyone sick to their stomach. For Gators fans, it’s safe to say they can’t take much more. Would you like some Advil?

Bret/Bert Bielema, Arkansas – Is it Bret or Bert? At this point, I genuinely have no idea.
