The next SEC football HC to go?

Unoriginal offseason topic, I know. But really, most topics during the offseason aren't too original to begin with.
Anyways, with a new football season on the way, who do you think takes their leave next? As I'm sure you've already guessed, I'm excluding teams that have hired a new HC very recently.
So no South Carolina, Missouri, Florida, or Georgia. We all also know Saban isn't leaving Bama unless he retires for some odd reason, so no Alabama in this list either.
Arkansas - Bret Bielema
Auburn - Gus Malzahn
Kentucky - Mark Stoops
LSU - Les Miles
Ole Miss - Hugh Freeze
Mississippi State - Dan Mullen
Tennessee - Butch Jones
Texas A&M - Kevin Sumlin
Vanderbilt - Derek Mason
Who gets the boot next?

Gus after Auburn wins 4 games this year

The most likely candidates:
Fired after this season: Mason and Sumlin
Leaves for a better job: Mullen
Leaves for a lesser job: Malzahn
Possibly "retires": Miles

Even if he does not make a bowl I don't think they fire him. He is recruiting better than anyone in modern UK history and I think they give him time to see things through. Kentucky will never hire an overnight sensation so they may as well stick with the guy who at least appears to be building something decent from the ground up.

This. You can't go four straight seasons with a losing record at an SEC school and expect to keep your job.

Would Vanderbilt really fire their HC after just three seasons? Not saying you're wrong, but just not sure if that could be a thing.

if Mason wins at least 4 games they will certainly give him another year

If this were typical Vandy, I doubt it. But Mason inherited a program with some pretty good athletes and a track record of winning. Then he crashed that party in 6 months. I think there were expectations to at least moderately maintain being competitive.

Hey, it's been quite awhile, Tiger.
And I can't say that you're wrong here. Stoops probably is on the hot seat right now, but the only thing I could ask is if Kentucky really is the most impatient with their HC at this time?
That and Les seems like he could be retiring and/or fired soon. His relationship with LSU right now seems kinda rocky. But of course that's just from an outsider's perspective, any LSU fan can correct me if they've buried the hatchet or something.

You do have a point. This could be one of his biggest moments at Vanderbilt. He has a completely bombing season and they could consider if anything will improve with him and his team with more time. That's of course assuming that they'd get a little more antsy with Mason to keep Vanderbilt decently competitive.

A losing season would do it for: Gus, Stoops, Miles, Freeze, Sumlin.
But I don't think that is realistic for any of those except maybe Stoops.
