What SEC schools will be replacing their basketball coach?

I've got it like this:
Arkansas- Could Pelphrey get the hook?
Auburn- Lebo on obvious hotseat
Ole Miss - Hearing rumblings about Kennedy
Of the three, Lebo is the frontrunner to be replaced IMO.
I'd like to see someone get Steve Alford as their new coach. I think he'd do well in the SEC?
Thoughts?

I still hear that he might be coming back, they want him to christen in the new stadium with a 10 win season and a 30 pts loss to UNC in the home opener.

Not happening.
We still have a chance to make the tournament and have two top 50 players coming in next year.

I wasn't necessarily inferring that AK would get fired...

Seems like most Auburn fans want Lebo gone.

Steve Alford
<----- As an Iowa fan I have some input here. Good coach, won Iowa a Big Ten tourny championship against Greg Oden's Ohio St. Butttt.... He is a terrible big game coach (3 seed got knocked off by a 14 seed) and he is a terrible recruiter which is what got him the boot at Iowa. I'd rather not have him.

Thanks for the info! I had heard that for whatever reason he was just in a bad situation at Iowa and could never win over either the fan base nor the administration.
He seems to be doing very well at UNM:
One-on-one with Steve Alford

Not me. He's being paid $750,000 in a league where the big programs pay their coaches over $2 million. Until Auburn is ready to pony up the money and show that the school is committed to basketball, I'd rather have Lebo. Considering the history of the basketball program at Auburn, it would probably take at least $3 million to bring in a proven winner and create the excitement needed to recruit, win and fill up the new arena. I don't think the PTB are willing to pay that (which would be $1 million more than Coach Chizik makes). Right now though, Lebo is giving Auburn more wins per dollar of salary than any other SEC coach.
The following is taken from mrsec.com:
"But just for the sake of raw data, here are the current SEC’s coaches’ average annual salaries:
1. John Calipari, Kentucky, $3.9 million
2. Billy Donovan, Florida, $3.5 million
3. Bruce Pearl, Tennessee, $2.4 million
4. Anthony Grant, Alabama, $1.8 million
5. Mark Fox, Georgia, $1.3 million
6. Trent Johnson, LSU, $1.2 million
7. Rick Stansbury, Miss. State, $1.2 million
8. Kevin Stallings, Vanderbilt, $981,000
9. Darrin Horn, South Carolina, $800,000
10. Andy Kennedy, Ole Miss, $800,000
11. John Pelphrey, Arkansas, $795,000
12. Jeff Lebo, Auburn, $750,000
And just for kicks, taking last year’s wins and this year’s salaries, we provide you with an idea of what each coach makes per victory (minus Calipari, Grant and Fox, of course):
Billy Donovan, Florida, $140,000.000
Bruce Pearl, Tennessee, $114,285.71
John Pelphrey, Arkansas, $56,785.71
Rick Stansbury, Miss. State, $52,173.91
Kevin Stallings, Vanderbilt, $51,631.57
Andy Kennedy, Ole Miss, $50,000.00
Trent Johnson, LSU, $44,444.44
Darrin Horn, South Carolina, $38,095.23
Jeff Lebo, Auburn, $31,250.00"

You didn't hear they were favored to win the SEC tournament?

IMO, to make the tournament, they have to ATLEAST win their last 2 regular season games and 2 in the SEC tourny. Ole Miss hasn't shown they can go on a streak like that yet.

Jeff "Dolla" Long has already said that Pel is going to stay around another year....

If we lose to TN and OM, then lose first game in tournament I can see a change at Arkansas.
Maybe.
Maybe.

Wow, that goes WAY beyond optimistic.
