Yesterday the AP All-SEC team was announced, and five Bulldogs were named to the first and second teams. Today the coaches followed suit, as the 2012 Coaches' All-SEC team was announced.
Mississippi State, as was the case on the AP team, was represented fairly well, with Johnthan Banks being named to the first team, and a trio of Bulldogs - Gabe Jackson, Cam Lawrence, and Darius Slay - being named to the second team.
Alabama led the way in the SEC with eight total members included.
Here is the full release from the SEC:
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Southeastern Conference Champion Alabama had the most representatives on the 2012 All-SEC Coaches' Football Team, the league office announced on Tuesday.
