In years past, we had the possibility of Bret Bielema going as John Goodman, and Butch Jones playing Larry the Cable Guy. There’s Mark Richt as Mark Harmon. Or even Steve Spurrier as Larry Culpepper, which actually happened.

But now that this slate of SEC head coaches have been in their positions for a while, which actors would offer the best persona?

Between their appearance and mannerisms, there is a lot of overlap with famous actors and the crop of SEC head coaches.

Here are the best matches for SEC coaches as actors for Halloween:

Alabama’s Nick Saban: Al Pacino

This idea has been brought up before, but now with “The Irishman” being released, we have a fresh look at what an older Pacino would look like on the Crimson Tide sideline. And don’t dismiss Pacino as a football novice. In 1999, Pacino played veteran coach Tony D’Amato of the Miami Sharks in “Any Given Sunday.” But I don’t remember any lines about “The Process.”

Arkansas’ Chad Morris: Opie Taylor from ‘The Andy Griffith Show’

How would Opie handle the prolonged losing streak at Arkansas? Probably something along the lines of, “It’s about getting into the month of November and getting better,” following a rout at the hands of Alabama.

Auburn’s Gus Malzahn: Gomer Pyle from ‘The Andy Griffith Show’

Hey coach, can you believe the Iron Bowl means this much? As Gomer would say, “Surprise, surprise, surprise!”

Florida’s Dan Mullen: Woody from ‘Cheers’

This exchange from “Cheers” reminds me of the kind of story Mullen would tell from the press conference podium. Mullen regularly tells stories about exchanging film as a low-level assistant, or even having his appendix out on the eve of a game. How about this version, with Mullen having the trademark bar towel over his shoulder?

Woody: Boy, Dr. Sternin-Crane having an affair with another guy. This reminds me of a terrible scandal we had back in Hanover, rocked the whole town to its core. Mayor’s wife ran off with old Mr. Smithers.
Frasier: Well, that’s not so scandalous, Woody.
Woody: Well, Mr. Smithers was a goat.

Georgia’s Kirby Smart: Cousin Eddie from ‘National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation’

Imagine Smart’s visor upside down while dancing in the locker room after a big win and you have Cousin Eddie in the holiday spirit.

Kentucky’s Mark Stoops: Scotty Smalls from ‘The Sandlot’

If Stoops can deliver multiple SEC wins with a converted receiver at quarterback, what would he do with an influx of 5-star recruits? That’s kind of like Smalls with a s’more.

“Ham: Hey, Smalls, you wanna s’more?
Smalls: Some more of what?
Ham: No, do you wanna s’more?
Smalls: I haven’t had anything yet, so how can I have some more of nothing?
Ham: You’re killing me, Smalls! These are s’mores stuff! OK, pay attention. First you take the graham, you stick the chocolate on the graham. Then you roast the ‘mallow. When the mallow’s flaming… you stick it on the chocolate. Then cover with the other end. Then you scarf. Kind of messy, but good! Try some!”

LSU’s Ed Orgeron: Andre the Giant/Fezzik in ‘The Princess Bride’

This match is kind of like Tiger Stadium at night. It’s an intimidating atmosphere for opponents, but Orgeron loves it, and even has a wide smile. Like when he told ESPN’s Tom Rinaldi before the Florida kickoff, “Welcome to Death Valley, where opponent’s dreams come to die.” How about this exchange from the movie:

Miracle Max: Beat it or I’ll call the Brute Squad.
Fezzik: I’m on the Brute Squad.
Miracle Max : (sees Fezzik) You ARE the Brute Squad!

Ole Miss’ Matt Luke: Andy Taylor from ‘The Andy Griffith Show’

As Ole Miss tries to fight its way up the SEC West pecking order, the Rebels will need to at least stand up to the bully at some point.

Imagine Luke saying a line like Taylor once did: “I don’t want him to be the kind of boy lookin’ for fights, but I don’t want him to run from one when he’s in the right.”

Mississippi State’s Joe Moorhead: Ross Geller from ‘Friends’

A Ross quote perfectly summarizes the SEC West, and the kind of thing Moorhead would say about his division, in recruiting and on the field: “I grew up with Monica, if you didn’t eat fast, you didn’t eat.”

Missouri’s Barry Odom: Wrestler Steve Austin

Watch Barry Odom after a defensive turnover for Missouri, or a long touchdown, and it might as well be Steve Austin on the field.

Tennessee’s Jeremy Pruitt: Bull from ‘Night Court’

It’s not at all difficult to see Bull going to Gus’ Good Times Deli after a long, but successful day in the court room, just like Pruitt did after the big win over the Gamecocks.

South Carolina’s Will Muschamp: Andy from ‘The Shawshank Redemption’

It’s also not a stretch to see Muschamp becoming the prison librarian, complete with reading glasses on his nose and all, just like he did midseason this year with the Gamecocks.

Texas A&M’s Jimbo Fisher: Hank from ‘Breaking Bad’

Would anyone be surprised if Fisher had a secret rock collection at home? Or how about Fisher having a variation of this line from growing up working a hot and sweaty job as a kid in West Virginia: “Been thinking about a summer job I used to have … marking trees in the woods…Tagging trees is a lot better than chasing monsters.”

Tagging trees is a lot easier than beating Alabama and LSU every year.

Vanderbilt’s Derek Mason: Herman Boone from ‘Remember the Titans’

Mason rattles off lines like Boone just about every day, and certainly every Tuesday at his press conference. Like one this week, “You can’t go broke taking a profit.”

This famous line from Boone could easily become a Mason-ism: “We will be perfect in every aspect of the game. You drop a pass, you run a mile. You miss a blocking assignment, you run a mile. You fumble the football, and I will break my foot off in your John Brown hind parts and then you will run a mile. Perfection. Let’s go to work.”
