There were several coordinator moves across the league this offseason, especially in the SEC West.

Given their revamped philosophies and play-calling preferences, coaches and fans have reason to look forward to fall camp. Add in several 5-star prospects, and transfers that made splashes in spring games, and several teams had positive offseasons.

Here are the five best in the SEC:

Alabama

One of the Tide’s biggest offseason storylines was the contract bump and extension for coach Nick Saban. The new contract goes until 2024 and the new compensation average is $8.2 million, including annual bonuses. Alabama also hired New England Patriots assistant coach Brian Daboll as offensive coordinator. Daboll was Alabama’s third OC in three months, and sixth in Saban’s Alabama tenure that dates to 2007.

Alabama finished No. 1 on 247Sports’ Composite team rankings for 2017. That haul included several 5-star prospects, including dual-threat quarterback Tua Tagovailoa running back Najee Harris, tackle Alex Leatherwood, linebacker Dylan Moses, wide receiver Jerry Jeudy and defensive end LaBryan Ray.

Tennessee

The quarterback situation remains up in the air, but Quinten Dormady sure looked the part in the spring game with 10-for-10 passing for 120 yards. Breakout receiver candidate Jauan Jennings had three catches for 28 yards and a touchdown, and safety Nigel Warrior, an All-SEC freshman pick last season, drew high praise from Butch Jones.

And though he sat out the spring game, there is plenty of optimism around running back John Kelly, who burst on the scene last year.

The Volunteers could have their top offensive line under Jones, and position coach Walt Wells has built momentum in recruiting as the primary or secondary recruiter for five of the team’s 11 current commitments for the 2018 class.

Wells is ranked No. 2 among all SEC assistant coaches in 247Sports’ recruiter rankings, behind only LSU outside linebackers coach Dennis Johnson, ranked No. 1 nationally.

Auburn

The Tigers appear to have settled quarterback issues with Baylor transfer Jarrett Stidham, certainly if the spring game is any indication. He was 16-for-20 passing for 267 yards and five scoring drives. The former top recruit is considered a dark horse Heisman Trophy contender.

Beyond Stidham, Auburn’s offense is also poised to build on what it started last season. Auburn returns the SEC’s leading returning rushing duo, Kamryn Pettway and Kerryon Johnson, who combined for 2,119 yards in 2016.

Another team with a coordinator hire, Chip Lindsey completed a rapid rise from being a high school coach in Alabama and Georgia. Auburn’s 16 returning starters, eight on each side, are the most the Tigers have had in 12 seasons.

South Carolina

There’s a lot of optimism in Columbia, and most of it is centered on the skill position players on offense. Jake Bentley and Rico Dowdle look to make their next steps in development after better-than-expected freshman campaigns. Deebo Samuel also has a chance at receiver to improve on 59 catches for 783 yards last fall. Add tight end Hayden Hurst, and there are few concerns about the offense exiting the spring.

Linebacker Skai Moore, who was cleared from involvement in an offseason bar fight incident, has led the Gamecocks in tackles every season he’s been on the field. While he continues his return from a neck injury that kept him out last season, his veteran leadership will be an asset.

LSU

Hiring offensive coordinator Matt Canada was crucial to jumpstart an offense that moved the ball against No. 1 Alabama a year ago, but ultimately lost 10-0. It was a similar situation, albeit slightly better, against Florida in a 16-10 loss. At Pittsburgh last season, Canada had a 1,000-yard rusher and five players catch at least 20 passes. It’ll be a different approach, and while the weather-shortened spring game couldn’t show off all of the new wrinkles, expect shifts and motions to confuse the defense.

With Dave Aranda installing more elements of his aggressive defense, and the presumed return of Arden Key, the young defense has a foundational piece. Ed Orgeron is also optimistic about quarterback Danny Etling, despite back surgery soon after the spring game.
