The story of lower tier (most) of the SEC coaching positions will be interesting over the next several years. The "SEC, SEC..." expectations have raised expectations to unprecedented levels at most of the schools. Head Coaching positions at Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Missouri, South Carolina, Arkansas, Texas A&M, and Auburn could well have revolving doors in this era of artificially elevated expectations. The coach at Vanderbilt will be given more latitude to have a fairly competitive team every few years, as will Kentucky (because it is such a basketball school).
A&M will be an interesting case study. If the Aggies continue to do less with more, as they almost always have, no one will succeed long term there. But, other than R.C. Slocum, who has lasted in College Station long?
