It will NOT be an Active SEC Basketball Coaching Carousel
There were three clear tiers in SEC basketball this season, with Florida as the one outlier. In the very bottom tier, a cluster of programs were wrapped in the throes of mediocrity.
Ole Miss is a year removed from a Sweet 16. Chris Beard isn’t going anywhere. Auburn just promoted Steven Pearl. As bad as it may look for the Tigers, they just hired a new football coach. Finding money in the budget to make another major coaching hire probably isn’t in the cards.
That leaves us with three teams: South Carolina, Oklahoma, and LSU. The SEC Tournament isn’t over, and two of those programs have already decided to let their head coaches stick around for another year.
