The 2014 college football regular season concluded on Saturday, and as the calendar flips to December, the coaching carousel will rev up.

Along with the moves will be loads of rumors. In order to sift through who may end up where, Saturday Down South will discuss each of the major head coaching and coordinator openings, and whether or not any SEC coaches may be candidates.

ELLIS JOHNSON

Position: Auburn defensive coordinator

Could a current SEC coach fill the position? Yes. Muschamp is believed to be the favorite for the job. ESPN college football insider Travis Haney is reporting that head coach Gus Malzahn and Muschamp have expressed mutual interest. Memphis defensive coordinator Barry Odom has also been linked to the young opening.

Could Johnson get a SEC job? Yes, though it’s doubtful. The veteran coach of more than 40 years has made stops at Alabama, Mississippi State, South Carolina and Auburn. Johnson’s Tigers defenses were below average in both of his years on the Plains, known for giving up loads of yards and big plays in the secondary.

BO PELINI

Position: Nebraska head coach

Could a current SEC coach fill the position? Perhaps. Would Mississippi State Dan Mullen be interested? Nebraska is a tough job; the fan base and administration want to the Cornhuskers to return to the lore of the ’90s and early 2000s, however the landscape of college football has changed since those days. Oregon offensive coordinator and former Nebraska standout Scott Foster is thought to be the favorite for the job.

Could Pelini get a SEC job? Absolutely. Pelini is a highly-respected defensive coordinator, formerly at LSU before he took the job in Lincoln. He likely would be a candidate for several open jobs in the SEC, either at Texas A&M, Auburn or South Carolina, if Lorenzo Ward is dismissed. Would Pelini want to return to the coordinator level, or will he search for another head coaching position?

CHAD MORRIS

Position: Clemson offensive coordinator

Could a current SEC coach fill the position? Yes. The Tigers could look at a young assistant to come in and take over for the departed Morris. With true freshman quarterback Deshaun Watson, Clemson has a lot of talent on that side of the football. A few names to look out for could be Auburn co-offensive coordinator and former Florida State quarterbacks coach Dameyune Craig, who has said he wants to one day be a head coach, or perhaps former Florida and Duke offensive coordinator Kurt Roper.

Could Morris get a SEC job? No. Morris is leaving Clemson for the head coaching gig at SMU to take over for the departed June Jones. Morris is believed to have agreed to a three-year deal, however, this stint could lead to a job in the SEC down the road.

BRADY HOKE

Position: Michigan head coach

Could a current SEC coach fill the position? Although Brady Hoke hasn’t officially been fired, everyone fully expects him to be. Both Mississippi State head coach Dan Mullen and LSU head coach Les Miles have been linked to the soon-to-be opening in Ann Arbor. Miles, a Michigan alum, has been connected to the job during the past few openings. However, several national reporters have said Mullen could be a legitimate target.

Could Hoke get a SEC job? Assuming Michigan does fire Hoke, it’s not likely he’ll land in the SEC. The former Ball State and San Diego State head coach has struggled in the Big Ten while letting one of college football’s most storied programs become a mess internally. Hoke has struggled in conference play and has not shown the ability to win big games.

BILL BLANKENSHIP

Position: Tulsa head coach

Could a current SEC coach fill the position? Possibly. No SEC coaches are thought to be candidates currently, but numerous current coaches have spent time at Tulsa, perhaps the most notable being Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn. The Golden Hurricanes could target a prominent coordinator such as Texas A&M offensive coordinator Jake Spavital.

Could Blankenship get a SEC job? It’s not likely. Blankenship joined Todd Graham’s Tulsa staff in 2007, and when Graham left in 2010, was promoted to head coach. Blankenship has never been a coordinator at the FBS level.

BOBBY HAUCK

Position: UNLV head coach

Could a current SEC coach fill the position? Yes. Arkansas linebackers/senior associate head coach Randy Shannon has been rumored to be a candidate. Shannon joined Bret Bielema’s staff at Arkansas in 2013, though it is unknown whether the former Miami (FL) head coach is interested in another head coaching job.

Could Hauck get a SEC job? Unlikely. Hauck took the job after a stint at FCS Montana, where he went 80-17 in seven seasons. It’s believed that Hauck could return to Montana to coach the Grizzlies again.

MARK SNYDER

Position: Texas A&M defensive coordinator

Could a current SEC coach fill the position? Yes. Former Florida coach Will Muschamp has been linked to the job and a potential joining with Aggies head coach Kevin Sumlin, known for his offensive prowess. Muschamp — should he decide he wants to coach in 2015 — will be in high demand as a coordinator, where he made his name. Texas A&M has deep pockets and reports have been that finances will not be roadblock for Sumlin getting the man of his choice.

Could Snyder get a SEC job? With the way most SEC offenses shredded his defense in College Station? Probably not anytime soon. Snyder’s A&M defense couldn’t stop the run and gave up too many big plays. The former Marshall head coach never could get much progress going on that side of the football to compliment the Aggies’ high-powered offenses.
